The Problem

Content chaos is killing
consistency

Most small business owners manage their social media from memory — post ideas scattered across notes apps, voice memos, and DMs. No visibility on what's going out, no clear team responsibility, and no system to catch what slips. The result? Inconsistent posting, missed opportunities, and a team always asking "what should I post today?"

This project solves that problem entirely. One Airtable base replaces the chaos — giving the whole team a single place to plan, track, and publish content across every platform.

📋
Kanban Board

Every piece of content moves through clear stages — Idea, Drafting, Reviewing, Approved, and Posted — so nothing gets lost.

📅
Calendar View

See your entire content month at a glance. Spot gaps, plan ahead, and visualise exactly what's going out and when.

🔔
Auto Notifications

When a post status changes to Approved, the assigned team member gets an automatic email notification — no manual chasing.
