cross-post VS zapier-integration-create-hashnode-story

Almost a year ago, I wrote about how I created a CLI tool to cross-post articles to Dev.to, Hashnode, and Medium. I created the tool because it made the process easier for me, but I also received a lot of feedback from other writers about how it was helpful for them.

Dev.to has a REST api and hashnode has a GraphQL endpoints so there must be a tool that uses these endpoints right? Yes there are couple ones. I found two actual products that you need to pay but didn’t want to go for that. And finally I found this github repo.

Cross Post: Cross Post a blog to multiple websites. This Node.js tool allows you to cross-post articles to DEV.to, Hashnode, and Medium. Suggested Read: I Created a CLI to Cross-Post Your Articles On Dev, Hashnode, and Medium.

The final piece of my blogging infrastructure is an NPM utility called cross-post. This will take the content from the main blog (in this case, the url for my CMS environment) and post to Hashnode and Dev.to. This post is my first attempt at this, so I’m crossing fingers.

So, I created a simple CLI to cross-post my articles on these platforms easily. You can find it onNPMand check the code onGitHub.

Mihai Bojin explains it really well in this github repo how to do that. I’ve tried and had to create a new integration id and install zapier package, which I will not be using ever again. Even though I managed to create a custom Zap for my account it stuck on listening for RSS and pop out same blog post repeatedly sometimes. So I had to give up on this.
