I built CastPush in 2021 because I was tired of repeating myself.
Every time I had something new to share—an article, a product update, even a passing idea—I had to post it manually to Twitter, Telegram, Discord. Then tweak it slightly. Then copy-paste again. It felt like I was becoming a marketing intern for my own thoughts.
So I made a bot to do it for me.
CastPush started simple: write one message, hit send, and it would broadcast it everywhere. I added scheduling, A/B testing, even some AI-powered message tweaking. For a while, it worked. People used it. Some paid. A few loved it.
But here's what really happened:
- The edge got dull. Once you’ve automated broadcasting, you realize: the hard part isn’t sending, it’s having something worth saying.
- The inboxes filled up. Too many bots started shouting into the void. Engagement dropped. Authenticity mattered more than speed.
- The product stalled. I had other projects pulling my attention. And honestly, I didn’t want to compete with tools that were raising millions to do social media “better.”
- Eventually, I shut it down. Quietly, without much fanfare. Just a line in the code that said:
return null.
But I don’t regret it.
CastPush taught me something important: speed is fun, but meaning wins. Now I try to build tools that help people create better things, not just louder ones.

CastPush is gone. But the itch to build is still very much alive.
