    2. Hexometer Died Too?
    3. AppSumo rejected my review because I criticized a new tier added mid-campaign. Is their review moderation potentially suppressing negative consumer feedback?

    1. Passed meta review for my own instagram "scheduler" so I could stop paying for postforme and zernio. I wasn't intending on making this available publicly but I was thinking about maybe building this to undercut all existing "unified posting apis"
