My main goal right now is to make platform itself as good as possible(clean up the code, debug, add PMs, RSS, email notifications, some other things), and I'm planning to compete with fictionpress simply by being better and building a great community from scratch, but auto reposting would definitely be a cool feature to have(although probably implemented as a separate tool).
It just will take some work, and it is further down my todo list.
In fact, I think this could be a cool startup idea in and of itself. If there would be a tool with an API that allows people to connect their facebook, g+, twitter, tumblr, fictionpress, wattpad, and wordpress account, a lot of people would find it incredibly useful. If you are interested in working on such thing - feel free to take this idea and make something cool =)
For now, I'll just write a tutorial about connecting fictionhub user's RSS stream to some of already existing reposting tools, and that will take care of social networks at least.
I really wish there was a way to make comments on GitHub, because I think this deserves it, but I think the biggest problem this project is going to run into is that there is already a service that does what it does. AKA fictionpress.com. I think fictionhub.io is already better, but it doesn't have the community around it that fictionpress.com and fanfiction.net do. If we want to compete the best way of doing that is to act as a hub for all the other ways that people can distribute works. Make it easy to just update Fictionhub and have that update fictionpress.com or fanfiction.net and update a wordpress blog and generate a Epub link and I think you get the point. We want to provide reasons for people to switch over and make it as painless as possible.
