What it needed to solve

Women entrepreneurs were piecing their week together across half a dozen tools.

01One app for the calendar.

02Another one for courses.

03A group chat for the community, a newsletter for updates.

04Training and business never lived in the same place, though for this audience they are one system.

05And it had to feel native in Croatian and in euros, not bolted onto an English-first app.

What was needed was one place where body and business are run together.

How we built it

Body and business in one calendar.

01

A live calendar at the centre.

Events, classes, meetings and tasks with repeats, reminders 24 hours and 30 minutes ahead, notes and attachments, scoped by stream and updating in real time.

02

A community inside the product.

A community feed with posts, likes, bookmarks and pinning, so members talk to each other without leaving the platform.

03

A full content engine.

A rich-text blog with cover images and video embeds, and a media library for images, video, audio and documents, in two streams: Healthy & Fit and AI & Business.

04

Ask the Playbook.

Members ask the Playbook's AI mentor from the same place where they plan their week.

05

Croatian from day one.

Croatian throughout, billed in euros, served fast from Frankfurt. The public site speaks to the same audience in the same language.

One product, two streams.

Training and business sit side by side, organised into two streams, Healthy & Fit and AI & Business, under one Playbook Method.

Roles

A publisher and subscriber model: staff author, members read according to their role and per-module access. An admin panel covers users, moderation, newsletters and plans.

Billing

Stripe subscriptions, monthly, quarterly and half-yearly, with idempotent webhooks, and React Email templates for welcome, billing and reminders.

Real time

Server-sent events keep calendars and feeds live; background jobs handle email and media.

Language

Croatian throughout and billing in EUR, from day one, served from Frankfurt.

What changed after launch.

Members now run their week from one place: they book a training session and a strategy session in the same calendar, read both streams, ask the Playbook's AI mentor, and talk to the community without leaving the platform.

Real-time updates keep calendars and feeds live, background jobs handle email and media, and the whole experience speaks the members' language and bills in their currency.
