I've made an app that makes it possible to schedule a post in Lemmy at an arbitrary time. It's available at https://schedule.lemmings.world and can be used by people from any instance.

Let me know what you think!

P.S. This post was made using the app!

Edit: And it's open source!

Well, it's possible to self-host. Someone offered they will create a docker image for it.

Note that with OAuth nothing much will change - the app will still have access to the JWT token which is used to impersonate you. And that I don't do anything with the password you can see already in the source code:

Here's the login controller
Here's the authenticator that intercepts the http request when logging in
The authenticator passes the password to API factory
The factory passes it to the api library
That finally passes it to the http request against Lemmy api and that's pretty much it (the http uses Symfony, a very respectable and widely used framework)
Nowhere else is the password used

The user will have the option to revoke access for your application.

True, forgot about that.
