The real problem with any SSG is where to host and edit Markdown files and images for flexible spur of the moment content creation. I've built my own Wordpress-export-to-static solution to use the native iOS App as a workaround but it feels somewhat clunky — Same with having to run a headless CMS for this in the background; Surprisingly with all the gazillion of MD editors, no one has ever built one with live editing…

Personally I write to myself on telegram, then take it from there once I'm on a computer. Doing detail editing on a phone is painful anyway.
This makes me think, a Telegram-bot-as-a-CMS would work great for micro blogging.

I have a cronjob on my vps that pulls the repo every 20 minutes, and if there are changes builds and uploads the site. I don’t write on mobile but if I would, I’d use iA Writer + Working Copy

1. Just use Github to write. 2. Gatsby.js can sync with most CMSs.

#56I am somewhat confused by this blog post, as GitHub directly renders Jekyll sites by default–no GitHub Actions or fiddling required. Is there a reason why this was not the right fit?

I was also thinking of SMS to blog via Twilio — Used to do this in the late 90s from a Nokia Communicator

This is my exact feeling. I have a Hugo-powered blog, but like you said, I miss the ability to draft something quickly when I'm inspired. Right now, the best option I have found is self-hosting Ghost with some aggressive Cloudflare caching. I considered using wp2static[0] before starting with Ghost. Have you published your exporter?
