A Next.js escape hatch from $99/month social SaaS bills

What it does This is a Next.js 16 application for uploading videos and publishing to nine platforms, including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn. It wraps multi-account management, a calendar view, and an AI marketing agent into a single self-hostable dashboard. A Stripe-based credits system replaces the usual flat monthly subscription.

The interesting bit The /agents workspace is a three-panel chat interface where an AI assistant with ten-message context memory drafts platform-specific copy—viral hooks, captions, and hashtags tailored to each network’s limits—and outputs structured post cards ready to schedule. It is essentially an AI content intern wired directly into the publishing pipeline.

Key highlights

• Supports YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Threads, and Pinterest.
• AI agent renders rich markdown, remembers brand tone across conversations, and proposes one-click post cards.
• Granular video controls: YouTube privacy/category/made-for-kids flags and TikTok comment/duet/stitch toggles.
• Single Next.js 16 app with Turbopack and Prisma; no microservices.
• MIT-licensed with a pay-as-you-go credits model instead of per-seat pricing.

Caveats

• AI generation is fully dependent on MuAPI; you will need an API key from that service.
• Self-hosting requires Stripe, PostgreSQL, and Google OAuth credentials in addition to the MuAPI key.

Verdict Worth a look for creators or small agencies tired of per-seat SaaS pricing who are comfortable running a Next.js stack. Pass if you need fully offline AI or want to avoid wiring up Stripe and third-party APIs.
