omni-post-app shape — admin dashboard for the omni-publish package
omni-post.oriz.in wraps @chirag127/omni-publish with admin dashboard. /admin shows the pending GH Issues drafts queue, cross-post history per platform, retry-per-platform controls, and edit-before-publish UI. Public root (/) is a read-only 'where I post' catalog. /admin is Firebase Auth + admin-email allowlist gated.
omni-post-app shape
Two surfaces, one app
omni-post.oriz.in/ — public
Read-only catalog. “Where I post” list: every channel the oriz family auto-publishes to (dev.to / Hashnode / Bluesky / Mastodon / Threads / Medium / X / Reddit / LinkedIn / Substack). One card per channel: handle, last-post timestamp, post count, profile URL. Useful for readers who want to follow on their preferred platform.
omni-post.oriz.in/admin — auth-gated dashboard
| Panel | What it does |
|---|---|
| Pending drafts queue | Reads GH Issues from chirag127/oriz-drafts (per [[decisions/compute/drafts-queue-host]]); lists by label platform:* |
| Cross-post history | Per platform: last N posts, success/failure status, response URLs |
| Retry per platform | Manual re-fire of a failed adapter (after rate-limit cache cleared) |
| Edit-before-publish UI | For drafts (manual channels): rewrite copy, attach image, mark “posted” ? closes the GH issue |
Auth
/admin requires Firebase Auth sign-in + admin-email allowlist. Allowlist is a constant in src/lib/admins.ts (single source: the user’s primary email + one backup). No multi-tenant — this is a single-user tool.
Wraps @chirag127/omni-publish
The app is a UI shell; all platform logic lives in the package. The app calls the package’s adapter functions for retry and history-fetch.
Why an app at all (not just CLI)
The package alone covers automated publishing. The dashboard exists for:
- Surfacing the manual-channel drafts queue (otherwise GH Issues is the only UI, which is fine for occasional use but bad for daily triage)
- Edit-before-publish — better as a rich textarea + image picker than as
gh issue edit - At-a-glance health check (“did anything fail in the last day?”)
