Introduction

Alright, it’s time to get serious. Or... well... as serious as you can be when talking about social media posts. 😩

Posting content sounds like the easiest thing in the world. But the moment your product supports multiple social networks — it becomes one of the hardest.

In this section, we’ll look at how publishing works in Fedica. Not in theory — but in real life, with all its weird rules, edge cases, and UX drama.

Spoiler: it’s a little more complicated than "Write → Publish → Done."

Expectation vs Reality

In theory — this is exactly how publishing should work. Simple. Fast. One field, one button.

But real-life products? Oh no. It’s more like this:

• → media uploads
• → scheduling options
• → account selection
• → content limits
• → polls
• → hashtags
• → AI tools
• → multiple networks
• → weird restrictions
• → platform-specific logic
• → and about 17 extra buttons you didn’t ask for (this is a rough estimate... probably higher).

What we'll cover

We’ll break down the publishing experience in Fedica step by step.
Not just the interface — but the whole logic behind it:

• how the form works,
• why it looks the way it does,
• and what design trade-offs come with it.

By the end of this module, you’ll know:

• how to clean up a messy form,
• how to handle complex publishing flows,
• and how to keep your users (relatively 😌) sane.

Why Publishing?

Fedica does a lot of things. But publishing posts is the first (and usually the most painful) part users interact with.

Here’s where we are right now:

And this is what we’ll focus on in this section.

• Step by step.
• Pain by pain.
• One weird UX decision at a time.
