How to Build an Editorial Calendar for Content Teams with TanStack Start and Strapi 5

The tutorial provides a comprehensive guide to building an editorial calendar application using Strapi 5 as the backend and TanStack Start for the frontend. It addresses the challenges content teams face with their publishing schedules and introduces a system to manage content from ideation to publication. Strapi handles the content model, editorial status workflow, role-based access control, and scheduled auto-publishing, while TanStack Start offers a type-safe dashboard with calendar and Kanban views powered by TanStack Query for optimistic updates. The application includes features such as role-specific views, an editorial pipeline with custom transitions, and cron tasks for automated publishing. The Kanban board allows users to manage content status with drag-and-drop functionality, and role-based permissions ensure only authorized users can perform specific actions. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of keeping server functions secure and suggests additional enhancements like Slack notifications and content templates for future development.
