Announcing a new Forem feature we have just turned on with DEV:
Schedule your post!
The functionality is now available behind the "hexagon" icon for advanced publication features.
This feature was much-requested, and now it is available. There had been alternative ways to automate this functionality via the API for a while, but now it is native to the functionality of the platform and available in the UI.
Kudos to @lightalloy for implementing the functionality! If anyone runs into trouble with it, feel free to submit an issue in the Forem repo.
Happy publishing!

OMG!
Finally 🤩
Awww yeahhh! 🙌
I know this was the most liked feature mentioned in the discussion post If you could add one feature to DEV, what would it be? a few months back. It feels so good to be able to deliver on that request! 😀
And it feels good to be able to use this myself, haha. Gonna go schedule out the #weeklyretro post right now!
I never put two and two together that you'd have to manually post everything 🤯 This is going to make your life a lot easier!
Haha, it really is gonna be a big help for me!
I regularly post a lot of our ritual posts here, so having this ability is indeed gonna smooth out my workflow. 😀
Just looked at it , which timezone is it posting to?
Yea, it's not mentioned anywhere.
The time displayed in the form is your local time. It defaults to "now", so that should match with the current time you're seeing on your machine.
Thanks for the questions, we may be able to make this more explicit.
Oh thanks Ben!
Finally!!!!
Finally it's here 🤩🤩🤩, I was waiting for this feature like forever. I used to schedule post using Dev.to API and cron. But now I won't have to do that. 🤩🤩
Good one. Thanks!! ♥️♥️
