sociobot

Sociobot is an open-source social media management and automation platform built primarily with PHP, JavaScript, and CSS. The project is structured with application logic, assets, and installation components, and supports deployment on platforms such as Heroku. It is designed for developers or marketers who want a self-hosted solution for managing social media activity. The codebase uses Composer for PHP dependency management, indicating a modular and extensible architecture. Sociobot is suited for those who prefer to own and operate their own social media automation infrastructure rather than relying on third-party SaaS tools.
