โš–๏ธ Legal Mumbo Jumbo

Or: "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Disclaimer"

๐Ÿค– What Y'all Web Actually Is

Y'all Web is a free, open-source project built by one caffeinated developer who got tired of copying and pasting the same post across multiple social media platforms. It's not a company, corporation, or startup looking to IPO and buy a yacht.

Translation: This is a hobby project made with love, not lawyers. ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŽฒ Use At Your Own Risk (Seriously)

  • Things might break. Sometimes spectacularly. ๐Ÿ’ฅ
  • Your posts might fail to send. Check your platforms to be sure.
  • Data might get lost. Back up anything important.
  • Features might disappear. Or get completely rewritten overnight.
  • The server might go down. Because hosting costs money and plebs gotta eat.
  • APIs might change. Twitter/X especially loves to move the goalposts.

If any of this makes you uncomfortable, maybe stick to posting manually. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

๐Ÿšซ Zero Guarantees, Maximum Honesty

I make absolutely ZERO guarantees about:

  • Uptime (the server runs on hopes and dreams)
  • Data persistence (SQLite files are surprisingly fragile)
  • Feature stability (I refactor when I'm bored)
  • Response time to issues (I have a day job)
  • Compatibility with your workflow (every setup is unique)
  • Protection from platform rate limits (you're on your own there)

But hey, it's free, so you're getting exactly what you paid for! ๐ŸŽฏ

โฐ Development Reality Check

About feature requests and bug fixes:

  • New features: Added when I feel like it, need it myself, or receive sufficient caffeination bribes โ˜•
  • Bug fixes: Prioritized by how much they annoy me personally ๐Ÿ›
  • Timeline: Could be tomorrow, could be next year, could be never ๐Ÿ“…
  • Feature parity: Different platforms work differently, deal with it ๐Ÿคท
  • Breaking changes: Will happen without warning when necessary ๐Ÿ’”

Open source means you can always fork it and fix it yourself! ๐Ÿด

๐Ÿ” Data & Privacy (The Good News)

  • Your credentials are encrypted and stored locally on the server
  • No tracking, analytics, or ads - I literally don't want your data
  • No third-party services except the platforms you're posting to
  • Open source - you can audit the code yourself
  • Self-hostable - run it on your own server if you want

Your biggest privacy risk is probably the platforms themselves, not this tool. ๐ŸŽญ

๐Ÿ’ฐ Financial Reality (AKA Please Donate)

Running this costs money:

  • Server hosting (~$20/month)
  • Domain name (~$15/year)
  • Coffee for development (~$50/month) โ˜•
  • Therapy for dealing with API changes (~$priceless)

If this tool saves you time, consider throwing some sats my way. If it doesn't work for you, well... you got your money's worth! ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Donations keep the lights on and the caffeine flowing. ๐Ÿ’กโšก

๐ŸŽง Support Expectations

What you can expect:

  • Best effort support when I have time
  • Honest answers about what's broken and why
  • Documentation that's usually up to date
  • A functioning tool most of the time

What you can't expect:

  • 24/7 support (I sleep sometimes)
  • Enterprise SLAs (this isn't enterprise software)
  • Custom development (unless you're paying enterprise rates)
  • Liability for anything that goes wrong

Be patient, be kind, and remember you're not paying for premium support. ๐Ÿ™

๐Ÿ”„ Platform Changes & API Chaos

Social media platforms change their APIs more often than I change my socks. When they do:

  • Things will break until I can fix them
  • Some features might disappear forever if the platform removes them
  • New restrictions might appear (looking at you, Twitter/X)
  • Rate limits might change without warning
  • Authentication might stop working until updated

I fix these as fast as I can, but I can't control what Big Tech does. ๐Ÿค–

๐ŸŽฏ The Bottom Line

Y'all Web is a free tool that might save you time.

Use it, don't use it, fork it, improve it, break it, fix it - I don't care. Just don't blame me when your viral tweet about cat videos doesn't make it to all platforms because Mercury was in retrograde and the Twitter API was having a bad day.

Built with โค๏ธ, โ˜•, and zero legal budget by pleb.one

P.S. If you're a lawyer and this disclaimer gave you an aneurysm, please consider that maybe the problem isn't the disclaimer. ๐Ÿ˜œ

Now go forth and post responsibly! (Or irresponsibly, I'm not your mom) ๐Ÿš€
