Circular is an open-source clone of the Buffer app for scheduling and publishing tweets, built as a Backbone.js frontend with a PHP Silex REST API backed by MongoDB. A background PHP daemon publishes scheduled posts to Twitter when they come due.

Use cases

• schedule tweets in advance like Buffer
• self-host a social media post scheduler
• queue Twitter posts and publish them automatically
• run an open-source alternative to Buffer
• manage a tweet queue with a web interface

When to choose

• you want a self-hosted Buffer alternative for Twitter scheduling
• you need a simple Backbone.js + PHP + MongoDB example app
• you want full control over your tweet scheduling data

When to avoid

• you need support for networks beyond Twitter
• you need a maintained project - it has not been updated since 2016
• you prefer modern JavaScript frameworks or a managed service
