Tweet thread maker: write and schedule X threads in your voice
A tweet thread maker turns one idea into a series of connected posts on X. Postel drafts threads in your own voice from an idea, a link, a video or your notes, lets you edit each post and add media, and schedules the whole thread to go out at once. It also writes and schedules LinkedIn posts from the same workspace.
Joschua SünnekeUpdated What is a tweet thread maker?
A tweet thread maker is a tool that writes and formats a Twitter thread for you: it splits an idea into posts that each fit X's character limit, writes a hook for the first post, and keeps the thread in order when it publishes. Postel's thread maker also writes in your voice, learned from your own posts, and schedules the thread for you.
What Postel's thread maker does
- Drafts full threads. Ask for a thread and Postel writes it post by post, from the hook to the last post.
- Writes in your voice. Postel learns your style from your X timeline or a public LinkedIn profile. You can also use Jarvis, Postel's built-in voice, or the style of a creator you follow.
- Writes from your material. Turn YouTube, TikTok and Instagram videos, articles, files and notes into threads. Postel can also search the web for a recent topic.
- Lets you edit every post. Change any post in the editor, ask Postel to rework one, and attach images, a video or a GIF to any of them.
- Schedules the whole thread. The thread goes out as one unit, in order, at the time you pick or in your next posting slot.
- Posts to X Communities. Pick one or more communities when you schedule.
- Turns threads into LinkedIn posts. Adapt a thread into a LinkedIn post, then edit and schedule it separately.
How to make a Twitter thread with Postel
Step 1: Connect X
Sign up and connect your X account, so Postel can learn how you write and publish for you.
Step 2: Ask for a thread
Describe the idea, paste a link or pick a source, and say you want a thread. For example: "a thread on the five things I'd do differently in our first year, from my notes".
Step 3: Edit and add media
Open the thread in the editor. Rework the hook, cut posts that don't earn their place, and add images or a video where they help.

Twitter thread ideas that work
- Problem and fix. Name a problem your readers have, then walk through how you solved it.
- Before and after. Show what changed, with numbers, and what caused it.
- Mistakes and lessons. Share what went wrong and what you'd do now.
- A framework. Lay out a step-by-step approach people can copy.
- A story with a takeaway. Tell what happened, then end with what it means for the reader.

Tips for better threads
- Put the payoff in the first post. Say what the reader will get, and end with a reason to keep reading.
- One point per post. Each post should make sense on its own.
- Cut the filler. If a post doesn't add anything, delete it. Most good threads run 5 to 10 posts.
- Add a visual. A screenshot, chart or photo makes a long thread easier to follow.
- End with a next step. Wrap up, or point people to where they can learn more.
- Post to communities while you're small. X Communities put your thread in front of people who don't follow you yet.
