A simple web checklist could make publishing handovers calmer and clearer

A small release checklist can prevent confusion when a finished draft awaits publication and team members assume someone else has verified details like images. The author proposes a basic web form with six fields, a stable per-article identifier, and time-zone-aware release times stored in a simple SQLite table. Readiness would be judged through separate checks for sourcing, author approval, image permissions, mobile preview, and ownership, with missing items named clearly. The approach keeps publication a deliberate human action, using automation only for reminders and repetitive checking. A brief activity history and limited access round out the suggestion, which the author recommends testing on a single article first.
