Why the flat version breaks

Designing without reusable templates

Creating every post layout from scratch slows production dramatically.

Ignoring export format requirements

Check aspect ratios and resolution specs before starting design work.

Over-polishing simple quote graphics

Keep simple posts quick so complex infographics get adequate time.

How to work the template-render chart

List weekly graphic deliverables

Enter asset counts needed for each social media channel.

Estimate time per graphic

Standard templates take 10-15 minutes; custom illustrations take 30-45 minutes.

Set daily design minute budget

Allocate focused creative blocks in your schedule.

Calculate total design days

Batch similar graphics together to reduce context switching.

FIRST-LOAD

Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.

Production timing arithmetic based on user estimates. Not design advice.

Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the template-render chart: your platform channel | assets needed | minutes per graphic design stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.

Go deeper: the companion app files the same reading as a plotted bar chart sheet

The article demo above runs without limits. The companion app keeps a local history, exports the rows as CSV, prints the template-render chart reading, and holds your drafts on this device — one free run, then $ 4 one-time for the layer that keeps filing.

The template-render chart reading is complete for free. The optional $4 layer adds print, row CSV and the last five local reading summaries; it does not add hidden answers. Checkout is not configured yet; the article demo remains unlimited.

What this is built on

Before: Creating every post layout from scratch slows production dramatically. After: the template-render chart shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.

Optional AI formatting, not calculation

For this template-render chart, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.

Format my non-sensitive notes for a template-render chart. Return plain rows only: platform channel | assets needed | minutes per graphic design. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.

Accepted schema: platform channel | assets needed | minutes per graphic design. No AI response is executed as code.
