LogCast

Build log → social posts. No slop.

What it does

1. You write a daily build log (build-log.md)
2. LogCast reads it, generates draft posts via local AI (Ollama) or cloud (Anthropic/OpenAI)
3. You review, edit, approve in a browser UI
4. One click posts to Bluesky + X

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Ollama running locally (for local generation)
• pip install ollama pydantic (for reliable structured output)
• Playwright (only needed for X posting): pip install playwright && playwright install chromium

Setup

1. Put pipeline.py and ui.html in a folder

2. Create build-log.md:

## 2026-03-18
Set up Codemagic CI/CD. Android and iOS builds green.
Uploaded AAB to Google Play internal testing.
IPA auto-uploaded to TestFlight via App Store Connect.

3. Set credentials as environment variables:

# Bluesky (get app password from Settings → Privacy → App Passwords)
export BLUESKY_HANDLE="you.bsky.social"
export BLUESKY_APP_PASSWORD="xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"

# X (used for browser automation — no API needed)
export X_USERNAME="yourusername"
export X_PASSWORD="yourpassword"

# If using Anthropic instead of Ollama:
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."

Never hardcode passwords in the script.

4. Run:

python pipeline.py

Opens the UI at http://localhost:7823

Commands

python pipeline.py          # generate + open UI (default)
python pipeline.py generate # generate drafts only (no UI)
python pipeline.py post     # post all approved drafts

AI Provider

Default: Ollama (local, free). Change in the UI config panel or edit CONFIG["provider"] in pipeline.py.

For small local models (under 14B), LogCast uses a simplified prompt and forces JSON output mode. Larger models and cloud APIs get the full prompt.

Recommended local models (by quality):

• qwen2.5:32b — best local quality, needs 24GB+ RAM
• qwen2.5:14b — good balance, needs 16GB+ RAM
• qwen3.5:4b — works but hit-or-miss on JSON output

Build log format

Dated sections, no structure needed:

## 2026-03-19
Whatever you actually did. Technical, casual, frustrated — doesn't matter.
The AI picks out the interesting bits.
