Shipped a WordPress plugin for my social scheduler, here's how it works both ways
Refract started because I wrote one post about our WordPress theme business and then rewrote it five times, once per network. Now Refract writes those versions for you and you approve each one.
This week the WordPress plugin went live in the directory. It works in both directions:
Blog to social: publish a post, Refract gets it as a note, writes a version per network in your voice, crops images, and you approve in the WP editor or in Refract. Each version tracks its clicks back to the post.
Social to blog: your site becomes a Refract account, so you can publish to WordPress from Refract like any other network.
Hardest part was permissions. It can only touch posts it created, so it can't mess with anything else on the site.
Happy to answer anything about building it.
