One thing that I’ve wanted to try is an actual app to publish blog posts, in this case MarsEdit. This is a little tricky since Hugo is designed around plain text files, edited in any text editor. Having a GUI sort of seems to defeat the purpose of the app.

Regardless, I decided to try Orbit. I was able to connect to Hugo pretty easily. This post in fact is an attempt to publish from MarsEdit to my blog.

If you are reading it, then it worked!

Well, sort of. A couple of issues:

1. Since I’m running this on GitHub pages, I still need to run my git commands to upload and build the site. I’ll need to figure out some automation with that.
2. When you create a post, the file name is a datestamp. I haven’t figured out how to make it a more readible format.
