Hey, team! I wanted to share this article directly with you since it’s something I’ve worked on for a long time. If you’re interested in scheduling posts or collections, here’s how I’m doing it:

> When I switched this blog to Jekyll, one of the features I lost was the ability to schedule posts for the future. Yes, Jekyll can handle future dates on post...

Thanks for the details shared.

An simple alternative for anyone wanting to show and hide posts without rebuilding - you could use JS on your blog posts page to hide a post if it is future dated.

For the reverse effect, I implemented something on my site to only show concert dates which are upcoming, such that the list would get shorter every day and I could on the roadtrip without having to rebuild the site daily which was impractical.
