BlogTo is a simple vscode extension which helps your post your ideas from vscode. Features (0.6.0): 1. Post blogs to dev.to, medium and hashnode 2. Simple UI 3. Good feedback. 4. Simple to set up
I can see the potential but frankly how would anyone ever actually post live to the world directly from VS Code without an accurate output preview upfront?
The way the built-in MD previewer shows inside VS Code is 'very' much off from what it looks like on Medium or Dev.
(Also, in 'config', the third link should say Hashnode, not Medium again)
@perfectionpy Hey, Thanks for noticing my mistakes. I will change it.
The general use case was that I write programming tutorial or articles a lot. So Now I can write the article in the same repo and draft save them on dev.to or hashnode.
Then i would go on to add images on the website and add some SEO settings and publish it.
As per the preview. Hashnode, medium and dev.to all use markdown. Built-in MD previewer may be just good enough. What do you suggest I can do to solve that ?
@pratiksharm ah! For draft saving its great. I thought it just publishes directly.
I too write on all 3 platforms and it's frustrating how they each have their own rules despite them all using Markdown. For example, line-breaks and code-blocks are handled differently by each platform.
I think the product can be awesome though. I certainly see the need.
@perfectionpy Hey, you can twitter DM me . We can have a markdown editor build-in the vscode extension. Also, we can have the articles written by someone in a file system. As per the image upload, a simple command which give the url of the image can work.
