Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to choose between Twitter and Forg?

No! In fact, Forg is designed to be your 'Command Center'. You write your update here, and we automatically publish it as a native thread on Twitter/X.

Why not just use Twitter?

If you have 0 followers on Twitter, nobody will see your posts. On Forg, our audience of fellow builders sees your work immediately, providing the early motivation and feedback you need to keep going.

Does Twitter penalize API-posted content?

No, our integration uses standard OAuth and formats posts cleanly, so they perform just as well as native tweets.
