Pinned Posts Feature for Patreon Creators
Pinned Posts Feature for Patreon Creators
Many Patreon creators struggle to keep important information visible on their pages. While they can make temporary announcements, there's no way to permanently highlight key posts like membership guidelines or FAQs. This means critical details often get buried, forcing creators to repeatedly share the same information while new patrons might miss essential context.
A Simple Solution for Better Content Organization
One approach could be introducing a pinning feature that lets creators keep 1-3 posts permanently visible at the top of their page. These pinned posts would stand out visually (perhaps with a colored background or badge) while respecting existing tier-based visibility settings. Creators could easily rearrange or swap out pinned content as needed - a post meant for premium patrons would remain accessible only to those members, even when pinned.
The system might include:
- A simple "pin this post" option in the post menu
- Clear visual distinction between pinned and regular posts
- Drag-and-drop functionality for ordering pinned content
Benefits Beyond Better Information Access
Unlike pinned posts on platforms like Facebook or Twitter which mainly highlight temporary announcements, this approach would serve Patreon's unique needs. It could save creators significant time while helping patrons quickly find the information they need most.
The feature aligns well with stakeholder interests:
- Creators reduce repetitive communication
- Patrons enjoy immediate access to key resources
- Patreon could see increased patron retention
A basic version could launch with just the core pinning functionality, allowing for testing before potentially adding more advanced features like analytics or special pin categories.
