crossposting via client?

[cimorene]

I use LogJam for updating all the journaling services, and it seems to be okay here, too. But I don't suppose there's any Linux-friendly way of managing simultaneous cross-posting?

AFAIK, there's no Linux client that offers cross-posting functionality. (I am thisclose to learning C just so I can make one...) One person suggested to me the idea of posting to DW though LogJam, then loading the last entry back into LogJam and posting to LJ/IJ/DJ/whatever. I haven't tried it yet, though.

DW has plans for a built-in cross-poster. I'm looking forward to checking that out.

I think that should work. It's not exactly simultaneous, but I suppose it only adds about ten seconds or so.

Um, I would offer you icons or something to make this happen. (I know they're not the same, but they're what I've got.) Well, I could write a heroic story about you battling the monsters of C or something, if you would like to be in Real Person Fiction.

I am so very tempted. And also a bit terrified of the idea. But, it never hurts to try...

SRSLY, it would be wonderful. *.*

slightly easier than what you suggest:

Logjam > Preferences > allow multiple instances of logjam & automatically save drafts

Then compose entry, and open a second instance, you will be asked if you want to load saved draft, say yes. Change user to whichever one you haven't got chosen, then post and close both instances.

...looking at it like that, I'm not convinced it is actually *easier*, but it seemed easier to me.

That sounds like about the same number of clicks, but the command-line method has promise...
