create your own bufferapp

https://github.com/Prithvirajbilla/bufferapplike

Its simple actually.

Things you might need.

IFTTT account
dropbox account
server which can run cron jobs

First whenever I want to schedule a post or the content i find on the internet, i save them in text files in the dropbox folder with certain format like

The filename should be yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM | nameofthe_post.txt

so it is scheduled to be posted on that time.

Now we can create IFTTT recipes for the posting action. whenever i send a mail to trigger@ifttt.com the post is posted to fb | twitter | other social media.

What i did was, i was using a free mailgun account. I made a ifttt recipe such that whenever i recieve a new mail from XXX@mailgun.com i'm posting the mail to the social media.

I'm running a cron job for every few minutes.
