I am a Civil Engineering student with basically no coding experience. I took a coding class once in Middle School lol. I have recently found motivation to learn. I am interesting in creating an application that can facilitate uploading multiple posts to multiple social media platforms. Going onto each platform to upload your videos is too time consuming. Whether that be an Instagram post of a photo, video (short-form or long-form). Not just limited to Instagram though. This should include tik-toks, you tube shorts, and Facebook reels. I understand I will have to apply for the API's of these platforms in order for the app to interact with them. I also bought a book on python if I go that route. A guy on Fiver said he could do it for me on Microsoft PowerApps for $3,000+ and three months time. I have experience with WordPress and am wondering if it's possible to do this with plug-ins lol. My question really is, what do you guys with experience think? Point me in the right direction so I can put all my eggs in one basket so to speak and get this thing rolling. Thanks for the help! I provided a spec that goes into a little bit more detail. Should I try and do it with microsoft power apps? Is it even possible to do
