# TweetDeck on Steroids

**A self-hosted, multi-platform broadcast newsroom for collectives — a column wall that watches every platform at once, wired into a full live broadcast pipeline.**

TweetDeck died when X locked its doors. We built what should have replaced it: columns that watch Mastodon, Telegram, Bluesky, PeerTube, Twitch and more in one wall — wired into publishing, approvals, live mixing, and an archive that can't be purged. Self-hosted. No algorithm in between. No platform holding your keys.

## How people work together in it

- **The wall is the room.** Live columns watch all your connected accounts at once — every post rendered safe, media proxied, duplicates deduplicated into the archive. The whole collective sees the same picture.
- **Draft once, approve together, publish everywhere.** Anyone can draft into any account. Every draft goes through configurable group approval before it moves. On sign-off it fans out natively per platform — proper quotes, attribution intact, tamper-evident audit of who decided what.
- **Roles, not passwords.** Editors draft, reviewers approve, publishers publish — per account, per channel. Invite links bring people in; leaving removes access. No shared logins, no bottlenecks.
- **Schedule like a station.** Timezone-correct scheduled posts with a DST-proof occurrence engine. Cancel, review, re-schedule — the calendar survives clock changes.
- **Live control room in the browser.** Multiview grid, TAKE/CUT, preview/program, lower-thirds and chyrons, audio mixing — program out to your PeerTube channel, 24/7 playlist when you're dark. Works from a laptop.
- **Auto-Director.** Priority rules switch sources automatically so the stream never dies mid-action.
- **Chat from every platform** bridged into one overlay — viewers heard, moderators acting, the streamer focused on the shot.
- **Your own transcode workers.** Laptops and GPUs join as render workers over Tailscale — an RTX 3090 laptop is already transcoding real PeerTube jobs. More workers, more channels, all self-hosted.
- **An archive that can't be purged.** Content-addressed, encrypted, deduplicated. Platforms purge; the archive remembers. Deleted threads stay citable.
- **Analytics.** Month-by-month snapshots: what published where, what failed, what got archived.

## What we need: testers and scrapers

We're looking for **testers** across the flow — post through approvals, run a column wall against your real feeds, mix a stream, break the scheduler across timezones. And we're looking for help on the **hard problem: intake at scale.** Watching RSS, the fediverse and Telegram is solved. What we want next: reliable ways to pull from the locked platforms — hashtags, accounts, search columns — without burning accounts. If you've built scrapers, run intake pipelines, or know the platform-integrity arms race from the inside, help us design the intake layer: per-URL fetchers, community-submitted links, archive harvesters, bridge services.
