When working on a project with your team, it makes sense to keep all important updates in one place - Whimsical Posts provide a dedicated space for important updates—without the noise of chat apps.

With different categories, and templates it’s easy and distraction-free to keep everyone on the same page.

What is a post?Copied!Link to this section

Posts are like mini docs, linked directly to a team or project and published chronologically:

You can create categories for your posts like “Status update” “Decision” or “Changelog”, then each category gets a simple (optional) template.

Pro tip: Embedding a presentation in a post, makes for a clear and engaging read 👌

Click + New post to create one right away, or keep reading about categories, templates, and the Slack integration.
