What app are you all using to write long blog posts for Micro.Blog?

@ndreas I’m using Bear for my long form writing. However, Bear doesn’t have any publishing support which really isn’t a concern in my case. My blog posts never graduate from draft status anyway. 😄

When I want to publish a post, I just copy-paste the post from Bear into a Micro.blog client.

I’ve tried iA Writer and MarsEdit and they work alright and do just what you would expect them to do. It’s just that I’m more comfy writing in Bear.

@ndreas for the most of it. I can publish from the app, edit from the app too

@kottkrig never tried Bear. But I’m
using IA Writer sometimes (which have publish support for MB) but I tend to forget about it. Sometimes
I’m writing just in the Apple Notes app.

@maique tried Drafts after your recommendation earlier but I think it’s too complex and hard to understand.

@maique can you publish directly from Drafts to MB? In that case, how do I make that setting?

@ovr thanks. How do I update an already published post without getting a duplicate?

@ovr thanks I was thinking if there was a way of updating it in the app
