about
A soft little dashboard for the articles queue and the bridge post rhythm.
Pulls from SOCIAL.md, turns it into something readable, and keeps the next beats obvious.
how it works
the pipeline from draft to live postDraft in articles/drafts/, publish to Substack as canonical, then mirror to LinkedIn Pulse and X Article (full text). Hero image required. Cadence: every ~10 days.
X stays under 280 chars. LinkedIn feed can run a touch longer. Lowercase, hot-take opener, personal anecdote, no emoji.
Numbers and failure modes beat abstractions. No startup postmortem stuff. NDA: can name Apple, can't say what she did there.
Birby drafts, Amy approves, then the actual scheduling happens on X and LinkedIn themselves (use each app's native scheduler). This calendar is just for planning; it does not auto-post anywhere. Once a post goes live, mark the row posted in SOCIAL.md and drop the URLs in.
Put hero images in articles/drafts/ while the post is in progress, then move them into articles/published/ once it's live.
All entries live in the content_calendar_data table.
