— name: social-media description: Social media post guidelines for LinkedIn, Reddit, and Twitter/X. Use when drafting posts, announcements, or sharing technical content on social platforms. — # Social Media Post Guidelines ## Platform-Specific Brevity – **LinkedIn**: 3-5 lines max. State the feature, drop the link, done. – **Twitter/X**: Each tweet should have ONE idea. Don't overexplain. – **Reddit technical subs**: Focus on implementation details, not benefits ## What to Remove – All hashtags except when platform culture expects them – Section headers in post content ("## Implementation", "## Benefits") – Bullet lists of features/benefits – Marketing phrases ("game-changing", "seamless", "powerful") – Call-to-action phrases ("See it in action!", "Try it today!") – Redundant adjectives ("excellent", "really") ## What to Add – Specific technical details that developers care about – Actual implementation challenges and solutions – Links to relevant libraries/APIs used – One unique feature detail ("with your model of choice") – Disclaimers when recommending tools ("Not affiliated, it just…") – Personal standards/opinions ("by my standards", "slated for cleanup") – Formal transitions with proper punctuation (semicolons, periods) – Include disclaimers when praising external tools – Use more precise language ("functionality" vs just "function") ## Examples: LinkedIn Posts ### Good (Actual Human Post) “` Whispering now supports direct file uploads!

Just shipped a file upload feature for Whispering and wanted to share how I implemented drag-and-drop files. I used the [FileDropZone component from shadcn-svelte-extras](https://www.shadcn-svelte-extras.com/components/file-drop-zone), which provided a clean abstraction that allows users to drop and click to upload files: “`svelte <FileDropZone accept="{ACCEPT_AUDIO}, {ACCEPT_VIDEO}" maxFiles={10} maxFileSize={25 * MEGABYTE} onUpload={(files) => { if (files.length > 0) { handleFileUpload(files); } }} /> “` The component handles web drag-and-drop, but since Whispering is a Tauri desktop app, drag-and-drop functionality didn't work on the desktop (click-to-select still worked fine). So I reached for Tauri's [onDragDropEvent](https://tauri.app/reference/javascript/api/namespacewebviewwindow/#ondragdropevent) to add native support for dragging files anywhere into the application. You can see the [full implementation here](link) (note that the code is still somewhat messy by my standards; it is slated for cleanup!). Whispering is a large, open-source, production Svelte 5 + Tauri app: https://github.com/EpicenterHQ/epicenter Feel free to check it out for more patterns! If you're building Svelte 5 apps and need file uploads, definitely check out shadcn-svelte-extras. Not affiliated, it just saved me hours of implementation time. Happy to answer any questions about the implementation! ““ ### Bad (Marketing-Focused) “` ## The Problem Users were asking for file upload support… ## The Solution I implemented a beautiful drag-and-drop interface… ## Key Benefits – User-friendly interface – Supports multiple file formats – Lightning-fast processing ## Why This Matters This transforms the user experience… “`
