2. Calendar view across all post tabs (Drafts, Scheduled, Published), not just Calendar
Markus Palm
Our default workflow is to always use a calendar view when engaging with our current social media management tool.
Right now, in Ahrefs the calendar layout is only available in the Calendar tab. The Drafts and Published tabs default to a list. I'd like a calendar/list toggle on every post view so I can see drafts and published content laid out on the same visual grid as scheduled posts, color-coded by status.
Concrete use case: I want to see my last 2 weeks of published posts and my next 2 weeks of scheduled posts on one calendar to spot content gaps and cadence issues. Today, this means jumping between tabs and losing the visual.
I included a screenshot of how we currently have it. We love the current tool, but for convenience, we would love to switch to Ahrefs fully.

Hey Markus! thanks for the feedback. What if we include a filter by post status in the calendar view. Would that solve your use case?

Melissa Patrice Hey thanks for the reply! That would definitely be great, but I absolutely love that i can create whatever custom view I want right now in Ordinal (https://ahrefs.canny.io/social-media/p/custom-saved-filter-views-pinned-to-the-sidebar).
Whether it's a list view, calendar view, only drafts, etc. I think doing it in that flexible way from the beginning would save you guys a lot of work down the road, where customers come with different view requests.
But ultimately, the calendar view with status filtering would be the minimum viable solution for me personally right now, indeed.
Also, just fiy, I'd recommend you guys check out Ordinal's product - I did a lot of market research when searching for an SMM tool for us, and they're by far the best in terms of product UI, thoughtful features, ease of use, etc.
