A TikTok slideshow tool chose drafts over auto-posting

Slidehook is a for making faceless TikTok photo slideshows. It came from a ’s own workflow problem. TikTok advice was common, but showing a face on camera and editing video were both barriers.

Photo slideshows solved that because one idea can become 6 or 7 swipeable images. The first version a manual Canva workflow. Users describe their brand once as a “studio,” then the tool creates slideshow drafts, lets them approve the work, and places approved posts on a scheduling calendar.

It can also use other TikTok posts or whole accounts as inspiration for format, style, and what tends to spread. The stack is Next.js, Supabase, , and the official TikTok Content Posting API. Full auto-posting was built first, but the default changed because people may want while still not trusting a tool to publish directly to their own account.
