The core loop is buildable, but a dependable replacement becomes a real weekend or multi-day project. For Loomly, plan, approve, and schedule a small team's content calendar. The hard boundary is approval workflow, multi-network publishing, asset library, analytics, and support, plus api access, connector upkeep, and collaboration.

# Loomly indie build

## Goal

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

## Scope

Draft, approve, and schedule a small team's posts, preview them accurately, publish through one official API, and retain a searchable content calendar.

## 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:
- approval workflow, multi-network publishing, asset library, analytics, and support
- many maintained network APIs
- inbox and moderation
- deep analytics
- team approvals and asset libraries

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

why people still pay

People still pay for Loomly because the scheduler is easy; staying approved and correct across constantly changing social APIs is the subscription. The recurring cost buys OAuth review, API policy changes, media limits, queues, retries, rate limits, webhooks, tokens, and moderation workflows, not just the visible interface.
