Comparison
Default Smash Balloon admin vs SleekView
Default Smash Balloon admin
- Feed cache is hidden in transients — no admin UI to inspect freshness
- Each Smash Balloon plugin (FB, IG, Twitter, YT) has its own admin screen
- No unified view of every feed on the site across all four sources
- Failed-sync detection requires opening each feed individually
- No exportable inventory of feeds and their shortcodes
SleekView
- Unify all four Smash Balloon feeds (FB, IG, Twitter, YT) in one table
- See last-sync time and stale-cache state at a glance
- Inventory every feed with its embed shortcode for audit
- Filter by failed-sync to find feeds that need re-authorization
- Honest scope: feeds are a cache, not an entries table — covered as such

Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Smash Balloon
No. Feeds are cached — typically as transients or as a serialized blob in wp_options, with some sync-log tables. We're honest about that: SleekView is a feed-cache and sync-log audit, not a feed-entries database.
If your install caches posts as actual wp_posts rows or as items in postmeta, yes — SleekView reads those. If they live only in transients, the value is the freshness audit, not row-level browsing.
Custom Facebook Feed, Instagram Feed, Custom Twitter Feeds, and Feeds for YouTube — the four core plugins under the Smash Balloon brand. Each has its own option keys; SleekView pulls them into a unified view.
Refreshing a cache is a Smash Balloon plugin operation. SleekView surfaces freshness state but doesn't replace the plugin's own "Clear cache" controls.
Inline edits make sense on local metadata (e.g. a "reviewed" column you add). The cached items themselves are read-only mirrors of the source platform.
No — it's an audit surface alongside it. Smash Balloon's UI is still where you configure feeds; SleekView is where you inventory and monitor them.
