AI-powered social media management, scheduling, and automation platform

The verdict: can you vibe code FeedHive?
Build a personal subset for queuing and AI drafting, but keep paying for the real thing if you manage production multi-platform social accounts.
Building a personal clone of FeedHive is a serious undertaking due to the sheer volume of external social media graph APIs, OAuth callback maintenance, and asynchronous scheduling workers required. While generating posts with an LLM is straightforward, keeping 9+ social networks authenticated and handling strict media upload requirements and token rate limits will consume weeks of frustrating debugging.
Estimated effort: 4-6 weeks of dedicated coding
What you can't replicate
- Official enterprise API partnerships and elevated rate limits with Meta, TikTok, and LinkedIn
- Years of edge-case bug fixes for platform-specific video/image sizing and formatting quirks

Build guide
01Scaffold Project and Database Schema
Initialize a new Next.js project with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS. Set up Drizzle ORM connected to Neon Postgres, defining schemas for Users, Workspaces, SocialAccounts, Posts, and ScheduledJobs.
Create a new Next.js 16 project with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS. Configure Drizzle ORM to connect to a Neon Postgres database. Define database schemas for users, workspaces, social_accounts (storing platform type, account name, and encrypted OAuth tokens), posts (storing content, media URLs, status, scheduled_at timestamps), and automation_rules. Ensure proper foreign keys and index timestamps for efficient polling of scheduled posts.02Implement Authentication and Workspaces
Configure better-auth for secure user authentication and multi-workspace organization management.
Set up better-auth in the Next.js application supporting email/password and Google login. Create workspace management tables so users can belong to multiple workspaces, switch active contexts, and invite team members with specific roles (Admin, Editor, Viewer). Build the UI dashboard layout with a sidebar for switching between scheduling, AI studio, and settings.03Build AI Content Assistant and Vibe Marketing
Integrate the Anthropic API to create AI generation tools for post captions, hooks, and hashtag generation based on brand tone guidelines.
Create an AI content generation module using the Anthropic API (Claude Sonnet). Build UI components allowing users to input rough thoughts or topic prompts, select a brand tone-of-voice, and generate platform-optimized social posts with automated hashtag suggestions and hook variants. Store generated outputs in a content library table.04Develop Visual Content Calendar and Scheduler
Build an interactive calendar and list scheduler view for organizing posts across days and weeks.
Build a visual content calendar interface using React components where users can view, drag, and drop scheduled posts across days and weeks. Implement a post composer supporting text formatting, media attachments, and platform-specific preview toggles for X, LinkedIn, and Facebook.05Implement Background Scheduling and Publishing Pipeline
Configure Trigger.dev or cron workers to poll the database and execute publishing jobs to social APIs at precise times.
Implement a background job processing pipeline using Trigger.dev to check the database every minute for posts where status='scheduled' and scheduled_at <= NOW(). For each due post, dispatch requests to the respective platform APIs (mocking or implementing basic graph API requests for X and LinkedIn), handle rate limits or error responses, and update post status to 'published' or 'failed'.06Add AI Image Generation and Polish
Integrate fal.ai for Flux image generation directly within the composer and finalize the UI polish.
Integrate fal.ai API to allow users to generate AI images (Flux model) right inside the post composer. Provide text prompt inputs, aspect ratio controls, and a button to attach the generated image directly to the active post draft. Polish all dashboard views with responsive Tailwind layouts and clean error states.
