Random Thoughts

TGIF!

There’s still a few small quirks but I think I have the app about where I want it.

One of the things I need to work on is the editor. I think it could be better. The editor settings doesn’t seem to be working. I increased the font but it’s not inicreasing in the editor view. I’ll have to wait for my next big push to deal with that.

I really want to get the editor nailed down and functioning flawlessly before I start work on the RSS reader. RSS readers are a dime a dozen at this point so I may decide to not implement one at all and to just keep this as kind of an online editor.

Here’s a shot of the editor.

As you can see by the screenshot it has the functionality to upload to your ftp or sftp server or generate a static site for backup or manual upload to your desktop.

The settings panel allows you to not only configure your ftp/sftp and blog settings, but also upload photos, edit the sidebar (in html for the moment) and edit your static site’s css stylesheet.

Oh, I forgot to mention the website is a static site. The app uses a database on the backend but the generated site is static. Can’t beat the speed.

I need to add to my list the ability to edit the head of the site or configurable fields and a way to drop or purge the database. That’ll be in a future release.
