Schedule Dev.to from ThinkRail then you approve

Message ThinkRail from Telegram, WhatsApp, or Slack. Add the openquok-core skill so it schedules Dev.to posts while you review on the calendar or kanban.

Install our core skill:

Your worktree IDE

Chat with pi in ThinkRail,keep main clean

Open a repo. Cut a workspace worktree. Ask the agent to draft and schedule like any other task. The openquok-core skill runs in that worktree’s shell. It finds connected channels, attaches media, and queues drafts. You approve on the calendar before anything publishes.

Built for technical writers with ThinkRail

Who schedules Dev.to with ThinkRail?

Engineers & indie hackers

Ship changelogs and tutorials from the calendar, not the Dev.to editor. Message ThinkRail to draft Dev.to posts from chat — you approve before publish.

Developer relations

Batch docs and release notes with tags, series, and covers. Review on kanban before publish. ThinkRail queues Dev.to drafts at volume — your team approves before publish.

Agencies & technical blogs

Connect client accounts with an API key. Pipe markdown drafts via API or MCP. Run ThinkRail per client workspace so Dev.to drafts stay isolated.

See what resonates on Dev.to track views and reactionsand iterate

Track page views, reactions, and comments from your connected DEV Community account over 7, 30, or 90 days inside OpenQuok analytics. Use per-article insights once a post is published. Then schedule more of what already works.

CLI analytics options

Scale what works

when a format hits, scale by adding worktrees and parallel chats

Spot a winner in analytics, then cut another worktree for the next client or brand while a second pi session queues the next wave — credentials, channels, and agent context stay isolated as you scale.

Parallel CLI sessions

Playbooks & Building Blocks Directories

Dev.to viral formats

Mix Dev.to-focused skills, and MCP servers — then tailor them to your ThinkRail workflow.

comparisons

agent-native scheduling, not another dashboard

Most social scheduler SaaS keeps you in a browser tab. OpenQuok is built for Dev.to from ThinkRail

Typical social scheduler SaaS

  • Copy posts between your AI chat and a separate scheduling tool
  • Siloed API keys and workflows that do not compose with your agent stack
  • Always-on integrations that bloat agent context
  • Locked to one vendor's models or automation layer
  • One working tree mixing every experiment as you add channels and parallel sessions
  • Autopilot publishing with no human checkpoint

OpenQuok + ThinkRail

  • > Ask the agent in ThinkRail to draft and schedule from the worktree
  • > Credentials stay on the machine that runs ThinkRail — workspace isolated
  • > Skills load on demand from ~/.pi or the worktree .pi/skills folder
  • > CLI-first openquok-core works beside any other pi skill or extension
  • > Git worktrees isolate each line of work — merge the good branch, delete the rest
  • > Every post lands as draft or scheduled — you approve before anything goes live
