Desktop application for macOS — auto-publishing videos on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok

Budget: 27000 UAH Deadline: 35 days

The budget of 5000 UAH for such an application, I would say, does not match the actual scope. The benchmark for the MVP with YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, queue, OAuth, SQLite, safeStorage, ffmpeg, and building in .app is from 95000 UAH and about 35 working days.

Here’s the nuance - the biggest risk is not in Electron, but in the API policies of the platforms, TikTok's sandbox, Meta's requirements for Business or Creator accounts, and the stable operation of the scheduler after restarting macOS. This needs to be factored into the architecture; otherwise, the application will be nice but temperamental =/

> I suggest doing a small design phase before development
>> checking access and API modes
>> queue, retries, statuses, and error scheme
>> screen prototypes - new post, queue, settings
>> after that - building the MVP and README for further changes in src

Questions before a more accurate estimate
> Do you already have developer accounts and access for YouTube, Meta, and TikTok Content Posting API?
> Is publication needed only for short videos, or also longer videos and different rules for each platform?

We can avoid complicating things where it’s not necessary, but integrations with three platforms should be done carefully. A penny-pincher pays twice - here it seems to be a very practical saying =) Expand

Hello! I understand the essence: one desktop application for macOS, where you upload videos once, fill in the title, description, preview, choose platforms YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and the time, either now or scheduled, and the application publishes everywhere in the background, staying in the menu bar, with a queue and statuses.

The stack is Electron plus Node, SQLite for the queue, node-cron for the scheduler, and safeStorage for tokens in Keychain, which is adequate for this task, and I will use it. Three tabs, new post with drag-and-drop and preview, a queue with local storage and statuses planned: uploading, published, error, and settings with OAuth connection for each platform and token statuses. Minimizing to the tray, so the process stays alive and the scheduler works, auto-repeat on error, and native macOS notifications are also included. I will build it using electron-builder with embedded ffmpeg inside the .app, providing clean unobfuscated src with comments and README.

One point is worth discussing, you have already partially described it in the specifications. YouTube has a normal Data API for uploads. Instagram works through Meta Graph for Business or Creator accounts connected to a Facebook Page, and TikTok through Content Posting API, where at the sandbox stage videos are published privately for app approval. This is workable but requires business accounts and app registration with Google, Meta, and TikTok. Please let me know if these applications in the developer consoles are already created, or if we are setting them up within the project, and what is the maximum video duration that needs to be supported?

Good day, Yaroslav!

The project looks quite feasible on the specified stack of Electron + Node.js. I have experience in developing desktop applications, web services, and integrations with external APIs, so I understand the key technical aspects of such a solution: OAuth authorization, working with publication queues, local data storage, background processes, and building the application for macOS.

For this project, I would suggest breaking the work into several stages. First, the implementation of the interface and basic logic of the publication queue. Next, integration with the YouTube API, then connecting Instagram and TikTok, setting up the publication scheduler, notification system, and working in menu bar mode. After that — testing, bug fixing, and final assembly of the .app along with the source code and documentation.

I preliminarily estimate the workload at 160 hours ($13.5/hour), depending on the details of authorization and requirements for API error handling. In terms of timelines, this is approximately 4–6 weeks of work. For a more accurate estimate, I would like to clarify whether applications have already been created in Google Cloud, Meta, and TikTok Developer, or if they need to be set up within the project.

I am ready to discuss the architecture, suggest optimizations, and prepare a detailed implementation plan before starting the work.

Good day!

I am interested in your project. I have experience in developing and supporting desktop applications, as well as working with third-party service integrations via API.

I have carefully reviewed your specifications. I appreciate that the requirements are detailed, including the architecture, the logic of the scheduler, and the requirements for the source code delivery. I understand the importance of stable background operation, maintaining a publication queue, and providing a user-friendly interface for daily use.

I can implement the application according to the specified requirements, paying attention not only to functionality but also to user convenience, error handling, and further code support.

I work meticulously, document key parts of the project, and maintain communication with the client throughout the development process. Upon completion, you will receive the complete source code with comments and instructions for further independent development of the project.

I would be happy to discuss the details of our collaboration. Expand
