Inspiration

Managing social media content across multiple platforms can be overwhelming and time-consuming. I wanted to create a tool that would make it effortless for individuals and teams to plan, schedule, and manage their posts—all in one place.

What it does

Post Planner Pilot is an AI-powered social media management platform that allows users to: Plan, create posts for multiple platforms (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X) from a single dashboard. Upload images to the AWS S3 bucket for each platform separately. Use AI to generate engaging captions. Visualize content schedules with a modern calendar view, including special occasion highlights. Collaborate as a team, manage roles, and streamline the content approval process.

How we built it

  1. Frontend: Built with React and TypeScript for a robust, type-safe, and scalable UI. Tailwind CSS was used for rapid, responsive design.
  2. Backend: Supabase powers authentication, database, and file storage. Edge functions handle media uploads, and AI caption generation.
  3. AI Integration: OpenAI’s API is used for smart caption suggestions and content generation.
  4. Calendar & Scheduling: Custom calendar logic with date-fns for scheduling, special day detection, and post visualization.
  5. AWS Integration: Connect AWS S3 bucket with access key and access secret key.

Challenges we ran into

  1. Asset Linking: Correctly associating uploaded images with posts, especially when posts are created after media uploads.
  2. Row Level Security (RLS): Debugging silent failures due to Supabase RLS policies and learning to write effective, secure policies.
  3. Timeouts & Performance: Handling slow network/database responses with robust timeout and retry logic to avoid fallback user scenarios.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  1. AI-Powered Content Creation: Integrated AI tools that genuinely help users create better content, faster.
  2. Modern, Responsive UI: Built a beautiful, user-friendly interface that works across devices.
  3. Robust Error Handling: The app gracefully handles network issues, timeouts, and API quirks, providing clear feedback to users.
  4. Scalable Architecture: The codebase is modular and ready for future features and integrations.

What we learned

  1. Deep Supabase Knowledge: From RLS to edge functions, we learned how to leverage Supabase for a full-stack SaaS.
  2. AI/ML in Production: Learned how to integrate and tune AI features for real-world user needs.
  3. UX Best Practices: The importance of clear feedback, error handling, and keeping the user at the center of every design decision.
