Stackby for copy/content writers
Bit of a different take on Stackby, as I’m testing it as a copy/content writer.
So far I’m really impressed. It’s a service that has multiple use cases for me.
First, the ability to easily create forms by dragging-and-dropping columns, which then automatically pull answers into a spreadsheet is super helpful. I can send a form to a client and have them give long-form text feedback and also drop down selections. I can then link the answers to the project/task management spreadsheet I’ve set up. Or categorise potential clients based on their responses.
Second, project management is intuitive (I’m not a techy person) and, as I say, the ability to link different columns across spreadsheets helps with keeping everything organised. The different views - kanban, grid, calendar, etc. - are great for visualising your workflow in different ways.
Third, not so much for me at the moment, but the API integration got my girlfriend wanting to use Stackby. She’s a marketing manager and currently manually updates spreadsheets (and lots of them) to track social media stats, website stats, event feedback, basically everything. When I told her you could set up Stackby to automatically pull in that data for you without having to code or anything she was sold.
I understand that more integrations are coming, so I’m looking forward to seeing what they are and how I can use them for my content and copywriting.
There is also something to be said about working in spreadsheets in general. It’s a format most people are used to. It’s straight-forward, everyone knows how they work. They just probably weren’t designed to manage the volume of data we handle today.
But like Superhuman is reinventing email for the modern era, Stackby is reinventing spreadsheets, and doing a good job so far in my opinion.

May 9, 2024Thanks Duncan for your review.
Really appreciate it and we are working on making the platform much better and automated for content creators and marketers.
For example, a content marketer can use the platform not only to manage their complete content workflow but also automate their keyword research, domain analysis etc. using SEO APIs (SerpStat, GooglePageSpeed etc. and more coming) that directly feeds in the platform. We're coming up with a comprehensive template soon on this.
Stay tuned!
