Bug Description

This is obviously not a real Bug but an opinion.

I just recently started using bufferapp.com which will store your Tweets to be posted at a User-defined Time, which is pretty cool, sadly it doesn't work from Polly of course, neither does Polly have a Functionality akin to it.

So here's the good news, bufferapp.com supports mailing in your Tweets, so i figured maybe Polly could get an optional button that will send my Tweet to Buffer via Email instead of posting it directly, this way one could take advantage of this nice Service (which obviously is of high value for Polly Users that maintain a commercial or business Account).

Besides the obvious advantages this would bring for the End User it also has the benefit that Polly wouldn't have to try to copy such functionality sometime in the future (and thus write a lot of code for it) but can use a Service that's already working right now (writing much fewer code).

I don't know if it would be that hard to do, i just thought it would be a nice addition.

Scheduled tweets were in my plans, and using this service might be a nice way to avoid reinventing the wheel. It's very interesting. I'll think about it.

I would just like to point out that there are already options to do scheduled tweets available for linux. Twidge/cron is an excellent and flexible solution. I'm using it now for scheduled tweets, and in conjunction with scripts to auto-follow and unfollow,.

Not that I'm opposed to having it in Polly as well, mind you. Just saying there might be other functionality that should take a higher priority.

Integrating such a functionality , as i see things, is a great step. This won't only help users schedule their posts, but also the app will be seen to be able to post to many services (from a general point of view). This would also needs the code base to be more abstract, means allowing to add more services in the future (who knows, maybe bufferapp won't last too long and others may appear). I think this functionality should have a priority.
