Patreon Post Scheduling Reminder Overlay

WHAT IT DOES This script scans Patreon creator post scheduling and draft pages for scheduled posts—post titles, scheduled dates, content previews, tiers, and status—and displays a floating overlay showing a calendar view of all scheduled posts with color-coded urgency indicators. It extracts scheduled post data from the dashboard, calculates days until publication, and shows a timeline of upcoming posts. A summary displays scheduled posts by status (draft, scheduled, published), highlights posts that are overdue or due within 24 hours, and provides a countdown to the next scheduled post. Users can set custom reminders per post, view post details, and export the schedule as CSV. All schedule data is stored per domain locally for tracking over time. WHERE IT RUNS Works on Patreon creator post scheduling and draft pages—patreon.com/creator/dashboard, patreon.com/creator/posts, or any page displaying scheduled or draft posts. The script detects post containers, titles, dates, statuses, tiers, and previews, making it compatible with Patreon's post management interface. HOW TO USE The panel appears automatically when you visit your Patreon posts dashboard. It detects all posts and shows a summary with counts of scheduled, draft, published, overdue, and today's posts. The "Next Post" countdown shows the title and days until the next scheduled post. The calendar view displays all posts with color-coded urgency: red for overdue/soon, orange for within 3 days, yellow for within 7 days, green for scheduled, and gray for published. Each post card shows the title, date, status, tier, and preview. Click "Refresh Data" to rescan for updated posts. Export all schedule data as CSV with title, date, status, tier, preview, and days until. Use "Clear History" to reset stored snapshots for the current domain. The panel automatically saves a snapshot each time you visit, building a history of your publishing schedule. TECHNICAL MECHANISM: SCHEDULED POST EXTRACTION WITH URGENCY CALCULATION AND CALENDAR VIEW The script uses a multi-pass detection strategy to find post data. It searches for post containers using selectors (.post, .scheduled-post, .draft-post, .published-post) and falls back to scanning blocks with date patterns and post-related keywords. For each post, it extracts the title from headings or patterns like "Title: [Title]," the scheduled date using a robust date parser that supports multiple formats (MM/DD/YYYY, Month DD, YYYY, DD Month YYYY), the status by checking for keywords (published, draft, scheduled), the tier from "Tier: [Tier]" patterns, and the preview from "Preview: [Text]" patterns. The days until publication is calculated and urgency color-coding is applied: overdue (7 days) = green, published = gray. The next post countdown finds the earliest future scheduled post. Each snapshot stores the full post list with all attributes, capped at 30 entries per domain. The summary counts posts by status and calculates overdue and today counts. THE PANEL The post scheduling reminder appears in a draggable, resizable panel that remembers its position per site. The panel shows summary stats, a next post countdown, a calendar view with color-coded post cards, and a history section. Drag by the header to reposition, collapse to a compact icon with a click, and resize using the bottom-right corner. The panel snaps to screen edges for tidy placement and closes with the Escape key. All settings—panel position—persist per website using GM_setValue, so your view returns exactly as you left it. PLEASE NOTE This script requires the free BotGentz extension to run. The script relies on Patreon's current post management page structure—if Patreon updates their layout, post detection may need updating. The script does not access your Patreon account credentials or modify your posts—all data is read from the visible page and tracked locally. The date parser supports multiple formats but may not capture all variations used by Patreon. The urgency color-coding is based on days until publication; posts without dates are not included. All data is stored locally in your browser via GM_setValue and never transmitted. The script is designed for viewing and reminding, not for scheduling or editing posts on the server.
