Auto Upload?

Hi!

I have two 200+ chapter stories that I'd like to post on SH... but posting each individual chapter and scheduling them all is very time-consuming and boring as all hell, and I'd really rather just not. RR has a neat feature that lets you import a .Docx and it auto-splits it into individual chapters and you can then set a scheduling time for them all, like 'once a day' or 'every X days.'

Is there anything like that for SH? Or will I just have to suffer (Or more likely, just not bother)?

There is no option to automatically upload chapters. You need to paste the contents into the text editor manually.
You can schedule them later as you wish, per chapter. Also manually.

Why not just upload once or twice a day? It literally takes 30 seconds.

Dump the first 30 chapters, then upload between 1 and 3 chapters daily.
Let's assume that it does only take 30 seconds. That's 400 chapters. 400x30 is 12000 seconds, or 200 minutes (that's about 3 and a half hours assuming you're not perfect).

And from personal experience, it takes a lot longer than 30 seconds, and I have more than 400 chapters. So I'm trying to save myself a few hours of work.

I wonder if there is any automated macro for that

Other sites have them, so they do exist, I wanted to know if SH had something similar, which it seems it doesn't, sadly.

I mean user-made automated macro, not site's features. Hopefully, someone coded a macro for ease of posting. Otherwise, you will have to learn to make one or do it manually.

Oh... that could be a fun challenge. Vibe-code (because I barely know what I'm doing at the best of times) a program that copies the chapter posted on one site and post it on SH... though I can already think of two dozen issues with that. Maybe from an Epub or Docx, only can I make something that knows that each Header is a new chapter?

My brain is too small for this
