The visible social content + analytics loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. Flick earns its keep through platform APIs, distribution, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope.

# Flick indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Flick workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Build a personal social content + analytics planner that stores drafts, previews platform variants, and exports a posting queue without pretending to bypass platform APIs.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- reliable direct publishing across networks
- analytics history and attribution
- team approvals and asset workflows
- protection from API and policy changes
- calendar-provider edge cases and timezone correctness

If those capabilities are essential, use Postiz instead of pretending the gap is solved.

why people still pay

Flick: Social tools survive because networks change APIs, permissions, formats, and anti-spam rules constantly.

questions
Vibecode Flick

Kinda. The core of Flick is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: reliable direct publishing across networks, analytics history and attribution. Read the honest list above before committing.

How much does Flick cost?

Flick's pricing is usage-based or varies by plan · The official pricing URL is recorded, but a stable current amount was not safely recoverable in this pass. Do not publish a number until rechecked..

What do I lose by replacing Flick?

Honestly: reliable direct publishing across networks; analytics history and attribution; team approvals and asset workflows; protection from API and policy changes; calendar-provider edge cases and timezone correctness. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Flick?

Yes: Plann Free (One Instagram account gets thirty posts, five videos, AI captions, hashtag help and thin analytics each month.) The prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
