As a writer on Medium, there are several features I believe could greatly enhance the user experience.

Below are some suggestions that could improve the platform, making it more user-friendly, organized, and productive:

1. Scheduled Posts Calendar

• Suggestion: Introduce a calendar view for scheduled posts.
• Example: Currently, I can schedule posts, but they are not visible by specific dates on the stories screen. A calendar view would allow me to see all scheduled posts in a daily, weekly, or monthly format. This would help me plan my content better and avoid overlap with other scheduled posts. Additionally, it would make it easier to visualize upcoming posts and any potential gaps.
• Why it helps: A calendar helps writers quickly check their publishing schedule without opening each individual post. It’s a more intuitive way to manage multiple posts at once, especially for content creators who like to batch-create content.

2. Content Insights & Analytics Dashboard

• Suggestion: A more comprehensive analytics dashboard with engagement data for individual posts and across the entire profile.
