Dedicated tab for brainstorming ideas#2323

Hi Publer Team,

I hope you’re doing great!

I wanted to share a suggestion that could enhance the user experience around managing drafts and ideas within Publer. I’m a big fan of the platform and find it very useful, but I noticed that the current workflow for saving and organizing draft posts could be even more streamlined.

Specifically, I really like how Buffer handles drafts and ideas, both in their desktop platform and through their Chrome extension and mobile app. They make it super easy to quickly capture ideas, and the workflow is smooth and visually engaging. I find that this approach keeps content planning flexible and creative, especially when working on the go.

Additionally, it would be fantastic if, when using labels for drafts or posts in Publer, the draft posts would visibly show the label color or icon. This would make it quicker to visually sort and manage content at a glance.

I believe these tweaks could make the content creation and planning process even more seamless and enjoyable for users.

Thanks for considering this suggestion, and thanks again for your awesome work on Publer!

Best regards,
Anna

Hi Anna, and thank you for the valuable feedback.

Great timing as we have already finished prototyping this and plan to have it developed in Q3.

Stay tuned!

I love this! great job!

I would like to have this in a calendar format. Nu I have colums with the months and our ideas listed. Would be nice if I can add dates. Then I can use it as content calender with only idea/draft planning.

Excellent idea this calendar view on top of Kanban view !

Looks good. Exactly what I use in noton. What it would make me upgrade would be sync with linkedin with post statistics and AI agent that help me craft posts based on the top performers

Love it Thanks so much

Hi, my flow is broken because of ideas

1. I would create drafts with no social media attached to it. I cant do this now unless it is an idea. When I need to publish I would add a social profile to it later on. Also, to view my ideas (draft) in list view instead of 90% of screen view it is 25% screen. The ideas column is very small to view all ideas that have photos attached to it, and if all columns are deleted except “to do” it stays 25% instead of expanding to get a better view

2. Short tags are broken in ideas and I can’t set them up

3. To create an idea (draft) I have to click a tiny “+” instead the bright blue button to create content. Before you guys put explore on top of the create button, but understood we are here to create content and explore was an added feature and fixed it . Now to make a draft with no social media attached to it you moved it to the 4th menu option and called it an idea, and then I have to click on the small “+” button. then view it at 25% of the screen on web. I just want to create drafts and schedule. This all-in-on idea keeps missing with creating posts, the orginal view publer once was

4. why does ideas need a title? now I’m putting the first line of my caption there as a workaround

Reposting in case you’ve missed this

This is what we have planned and are diligently working on right NOW:

• Introduce a list view option
• Add search and label filtering
• Make titles optional
• Save ideas from the main composer/browser extension
• Save ideas in bulk
• Make idea cards more user friendly
• Reorder columns
• Notify assigned members
• Fix formatting issues
• Attach link previews
• Select multiple ideas for labeling, deleting, or reusing

Please let us know if we missed something, otherwise, let’s try to keep this thread clean :)

Thank you!

Thanks, Publer Team. For my workflow, I need a view where I can see the full text of my draft post, along with filter by tags. It looks like that view is now gone?

Also, I had comments where I was keeping track of dates for some reused posts. Are comments not available in a full text view? I can only see them when I click on an idea.

Is there a way to get back to the old view? That had everything I need since it showed the full text of the post, along with all comments.

Looking forward to seeing more.
