I always get cool ideas when I’m traveling, but creating/edit/publishing posts on the go is such a pain - by the time I find a place to whip out my laptop, I often forget what I wanted to write about.
What I really need is a Jekyll app that lets me:
- Jot things down anytime, anywhere
- Maybe has AI to help with formatting and fixing typos?
- Makes uploading pics super easy
- MOST IMPORTANTLY - auto-syncs to GitHub for instant builds
But after searching around, I couldn’t find any good options. Then I stumbled upon HugoNest (which is actually made for Hugo), but surprise - it works perfectly with Jekyll too!
I think there are a number of these. However, the problem I see is that they are all hosted on a third party server if I understand it correctly. I have been looking for a way to make in-browser editing possible but something that can be entirely self hosted.
Either the tool doesn’t know how to do git (like jekyll-admin) or the tool doesn’t know about jekyll. Or you need to log into someone else’s service.
@bitzoid Do check out JekyllEx. It embeds jekyll natively so you can write content & preview your site exactly as it would look right on your android device, offline! There is no third party server & every thing is open source.
You can integrate with GitHub using access tokens and make git commits as you would on desktop. Here are the docs.
P.S. I’m the developer of JekyllEx. Any feedback is welcome!
