How would Product Hunt use OneUp?

Product Hunt frequently reposts older products on their Twitter and Facebook profiles. Take a look at the dates on these tweets:

March 27, 2018
March 28, 2018
March 28, 2018 (different post though)
March 31, 2018
July 26, 2018
July 27, 2018
July 30, 2018

That’s at least 6 re-posts in 4 months! This tweet will be evergreen as long as There (the timezone tracking tool) is still around. Product Hunt could tweet this exact tweet once a month and probably receive good engagement on it every time. Every time they recycle it, it gives them a chance for a new set of people to like and share it.

I am not sure if Product Hunt is manually tweeting this out every time, or if they place it in their queue multiple times with a tool like Buffer — but either way it is inefficient.

Using OneUp, Product Hunt could schedule this post to be tweeted once a month for a year (or indefinitely) with just a couple clicks.
