When does a ClickUp + Frame.io + Zapier stack stop being enough?

I’m Noam, founder of Timeliner.io.

Before building Timeliner, I saw the same setup over and over: ClickUp or Monday for project management, Frame io for review, Google Drive for storage, Slack or WhatsApp for communication, Google Sheets for payment tracking, and Zapier trying to hold it all together.

It kind of works - until volume grows.

Then feedback gets scattered, approvals get messy, files live in too many places, and managing editors, clients, and project flow starts depending on manual follow-up.

That’s a big reason we built Timeliner.io - to bring team management, project flow, video review, approvals, and files into one workspace built for content operations.

Curious how others here experienced it:
At what point did your stack start breaking down?
Was it team coordination, client feedback, approvals, file management, or something else?
