Honestly I want to know: why would anyone want to write a blog post in the browser? Like there's no good spelling/grammar checker, no text linting, no suggestions for better sentence structure, nothing like that. So why do these blogging platforms, foss and otherwise, use that? I want to write in Markdown or Org mode or Asciidoc and then push that to the place I'm writing for. That way, I can write in a real text editor, work with text with good tools, all that.

@devinprater like anything in the browser, it's a much lower barrier to entry not having to download/install anything. Ideally software supports both methods though.

The thing I'm working on builds on top of git, so you can use any local tools and push from there, or use a simpler web editor to change/preview the same code
