Tell PostPop what worked

Tick the posts that did well — one click, no numbers to look up. PostPop finds the pattern and your week leans toward the format that is earning its place.

Do it in 5 steps

1

Open your Library

Every post you have made is there. You are looking for the ones that did something — saved, shared, replied to, or simply the one that brought you a customer. You already know which they are; that knowledge is the thing PostPop has never had.

Tick "This one worked"

One click on the card. No number is asked for — not reach, not saves, not a score out of ten. A figure typed from memory is a figure you made up, and it would turn a one-second action into homework. One honest bit is worth more than a fabricated number.

Expect silence at first

Nothing appears in the Studio after one tick, and that is correct. PostPop says nothing until it has five marked posts across at least two formats with one clearly ahead. "Your tips get four times the saves" from three data points is astrology, and the damage is that people act on it.

Watch the panel turn on

Once there is enough, "What works for you" in the Studio sidebar says one sentence: how many of your best are one format, and which format is barely there. One sentence and one button, because nobody opens a social tool to study a chart. The sample size is always printed underneath it.

Let your week lean

Your next week’s plan tilts toward the winning format and labels those days LEANED, so you can see it happening. At most two days of three — a week of nothing but one format is how a feed gets boring, and the grid is where that becomes obvious.

Why it stays quiet

The failure mode of a feature like this is confident noise.

Five marks, two formats, one leader

All of them, not any of them. Five marks spread evenly across five formats names no winner. Five marks in one format only means that is all you ever made. And a tie at the top is not a winner either — it waits.

THRESHOLDS5marks2in one format2formats1clear leaderAll four, not any of them. Below this it says nothing at all.

Untick it whenever

A mark is not a rating and not a commitment. Change your mind, click again, and the panel recalculates. Nothing expires either — a post that worked in March still counts in October.

Only what you told it

There is no connection to Instagram, Facebook or anything else. No account linking, no API, no permissions screen. It knows which posts you ticked and nothing more — a business with no social account at all gets the whole thing.

TIP
It connects to nothing No Instagram, no Facebook, no login to any platform. The whole feature runs on the posts you made here and the ticks you gave them. See Guide 11 · Plan your month on a calendar.

The same week, planned twice

One is drawn evenly. One knows what has been working.

Three formats, chosen because they were next in the list. Nothing here knows how any of them did.

Common questions

Do I have to type in my numbers?+
No, and you should not. The whole design is one tick. A reach figure recalled from memory is worse than no figure, because it looks precise.
Why is nothing showing in the Studio?+
You have fewer than five marked posts, or they are all one format, or two formats are tied at the top. It waits rather than guessing. Mark a few more and it turns on.
Does it read my Instagram?+
No. Nothing connects to any platform and there is no option to. It only knows what you ticked here.
Can I undo a mark?+
Yes, any time. Click it again. Nothing expires, so an old mark keeps counting until you remove it.
What does LEANED mean on my week?+
That day was drawn toward the format you marked as working. It is labelled on purpose — changing someone’s plan without saying so is not something we are willing to do.
Will it only ever suggest one format?+
No. At most two days of three lean. The rest of the week stays mixed, because a feed of one format is a worse feed.
