# Buffer-style — Calendar & Multi-Platform Publishing

**Reference pattern:** Buffer — individuals/small teams, clean calendar, multi-platform publish, per-channel pricing (~$6/mo/channel tier + free plan).

## Core capabilities to mirror in PostSync

| Feature | Description | PostSync today |
|---------|-------------|----------------|
| Content calendar | Week/month grid of scheduled posts | Partial — slot list only |
| Multi-platform queue | One compose → many networks | Partial — LI/FB/IG live |
| Per-channel accounts | Separate connection per network | Yes — connected accounts |
| Draft queue | Save without scheduling | Yes — draft status |
| Best time hints | Suggested post times | Partial — smart schedule slots |
| Free vs paid tiers | Channel limits | Product/billing TBD |

## Calendar UX requirements (target)

- Drag-drop reschedule
- Filter by channel (facebook, linkedin, instagram, youtube, x, tiktok)
- Status colors: draft, scheduled, published, failed
- Timezone from project settings

## Multi-platform publish flow

```
Compose once → adapt per platform (caption length, hashtags, media crop)
  → preview per network
  → schedule or publish now
```

## RAG queries (GPT-4o mini)
