QueueCraft docs

Everything here describes the product as it actually behaves. Where a rule is deterministic, the rule is stated exactly.

Getting started

QueueCraft needs no account. Open the studio and the workspace is ready; it lives in your browser's local storage from the first keystroke.

Concepts

Idea - a title, pillar, hook, and goal moving through three lanes: Spark, Drafting, Ready. Variant - channel-shaped copy derived from an idea's master text by deterministic rules. Slot - a recurring weekly posting time, optionally per channel. Scheduled item - a variant assigned to a concrete date and time, with a status a human maintains. Observation - metrics you recorded yourself, with the live post URL and the time you looked. Brief - a campaign's non-negotiables: core claim, required phrase, disclosure, forbidden terms, minimum gap between posts.

Status vocabulary is deliberate: Planned, Ready for review, Approved, Manually posted, Verified. A calendar time is a plan, never a delivery receipt.

Ideas and briefs

Five pillars ship with the studio: Teach, Build in public, Customer story, Point of view, Community. The board groups ideas into Spark, Drafting, and Ready; Move forward advances an idea, Reopen sends it back. Ideas deleted from the board are gone from the workspace export too - there is no trash, by design.

Channel rules

The composer applies these exact rules. They do not change between sessions, and no model is involved.

Each variant card shows a live character count against its channel budget and a lint line that flags over-length copy and missing URLs before you schedule. Tagged URLs carry the campaign tag for attribution.

Calendar and queues

Slots are weekly: channel (or any channel), weekday, time. Assigning a variant takes the next open matching slot. The calendar view renders a month grid with prev/next navigation, a day detail panel, and plan statistics. The cadence goal (1-21 posts per week) is saved with the workspace and reported against the current plan. Suggest best time reads your recorded observations and proposes the weekday-hour window with the strongest engagement rate - it is computed from your receipts, not from generic benchmarks. Refill open slots from evergreen variants backfills gaps in one click, oldest-ready first.

Review and export

The review desk lists every scheduled item with its status controls. Export workspace downloads the full state as JSON; Export posting CSV produces a flat file of scheduled items for records or handoff. Import workspace reads a previous export back and replaces the current state - the app confirms before overwriting.

Insights

Metrics are manual by design. Each observation records: scheduled item, live post URL, observation time, impressions, reactions, comments, shares/reposts, clicks. Derived views: engagement-rate trend per campaign, a weekday-hour heatmap, per-pillar statistics, a performance table, and recommendations. Every derived number keeps its raw counts one click away.

Campaign QA

A campaign brief defines the core claim, an optional required phrase, a required disclosure, forbidden terms, and a minimum gap in minutes between posts. Run campaign audit checks every tagged variant and scheduled item for: drift from the core claim, missing required phrase, missing disclosure, forbidden-term hits, scheduling collisions under the minimum gap, and review status. Findings are listed per item with the failing rule named.

Library and rights

Assets require a title, alt text, a source URL, and a rights basis: owned, licensed, permission recorded, public domain, or not verified. Not-verified assets are blocked from the ready filter. Expiry dates flag stale creative. File bytes stay in the browser session and are never uploaded; the manifest exports metadata only. Snippets are reusable copy blocks in four types: call to action, disclosure, hashtag set, boilerplate.

Data formats

The workspace export is a single JSON object:

{
  "ideas":    [{ "id", "title", "pillar", "hook", "goal",
                 "status", "createdAt" }],
  "variants": [{ "id", "idea", "title", "channel", "text",
                 "limit", "issues", "campaign", "updatedAt" }],
  "schedule": [{ "id", "variant", "at", "status", "audit" }],
  "slots":    [{ "id", "channel", "day", "time" }],
  "metrics":  [{ "id", "item", "url", "observedAt", "enteredAt",
                 "impressions", "reactions", "comments",
                 "shares", "clicks", "source" }],
  "briefs":   [{ "id", "tag", "claim", "phrase", "disclosure",
                 "forbidden", "minGap", "audit" }],
  "audit":    [{ "at", "event" }]
}

Import accepts the same shape. Unknown fields are ignored; missing collections default to empty.

Privacy

The workspace lives in local storage under one key. The site makes no analytics calls and sets no cookies. Fonts load from Google Fonts; everything else is static. The trust view's delete control removes the workspace key immediately. See the trust center for the full constraint list.
