How to ship a mobile web share/copy MVP for AI social replies

A mobile web share/copy MVP lets users paste or share social post text into TypeToSell, generate three editable replies, copy one, and return to the X, Reddit, or Facebook app manually. It is the fastest mobile path because it avoids native keyboard and store-review constraints.

Guide

Key sections

The minimum useful mobile workflow

The minimum workflow is simple: capture post text, generate drafts, copy a selected reply, and return the user to the social app. This mirrors the free web generator while making the page comfortable on a phone.

  • Large textarea and example-loader for paste-based starts.
  • Copy buttons on each draft with clear feedback.
  • A reminder that the user edits and posts manually.

What to reuse from the current product

The MVP should reuse the same TypeToSell account, Stripe subscription, daily quota, and AI reply API. Reusing entitlement logic avoids creating a separate mobile product that search visitors cannot understand or upgrade from.

What to measure before native work

The decision to build keyboards should come from observed behavior: paste starts, successful generations, copied drafts, return visits, trial starts, and complaints about copy-back friction. Those signals tell you whether native work removes a real bottleneck.

Comparison

Options and tradeoffs

1. Mobile web

Fastest to ship and easiest to index

Requires copy-back into the social app.

2. Native keyboard

Can reduce copy-back friction

Adds permission, privacy, and app-store work.

3. Share extension

Cleaner context handoff

Needs platform-specific native implementation.

4. Browser extension

Works for mobile browser users

Not enough for native-app-first users.

FAQ

Guide questions

Is mobile web enough for X app users?

It is enough for an MVP because users can copy a draft back manually. A keyboard can improve the flow later.

Should mobile web require social OAuth?

No. The safest MVP keeps post input user-provided and avoids social OAuth for the drafting workflow.

What is the main mobile web CTA?

Generate a draft first, then copy the selected reply and manually post it in the social app.
