Elsewhere

Elsewhere is a local POSSE CLI for static-site writers.

It treats your website as the canonical source of your writing and renders platform-specific publishing drafts for other places.

Your website is the home. Platforms are edges.

Why?

Publishing on the web often means copying the same post into several different places.

Mastodon wants one shape. Bluesky wants another. Reddit has titles, communities, link posts, self posts, and rules. Long-form publishing tools often want Markdown, HTML, or some editor-specific paste format. Each platform has its own limits, templates, habits, and annoying vibes.

Elsewhere keeps the original on your site and renders drafts from there.

It does not make platforms the source of truth.

Install

From crates.io:

cargo install elsewhere

From a local checkout:

cargo install --path .

Then run:

elsewhere --help

Quick start

Create an elsewhere.toml file in the root of your static site:
