Web based editor #157

While the Octopress targeted more towards 'hackers', a web based UI for creating or editing entries would be handy. This could take form of a sister project, if one does not already exist.

I think this feature would not happen, because it is not the way for hackers to write blog.

Take a look at MeetHyde. https://github.com/MeetHyde/MeetHyde

Take a look at https://tinypress.co/ it's a web-based editor for a Jekyll powered blog hosted on GH.

You can also use editors like dillinger if you want to work online or, with some customization tools like Ulysses.

Googling Markdown Editor gives plenty of possible solutions.

All look good. MeetHyde looks closer to what I am thinking, since it means you can host the UI on your own setup.

As for the "it won't happen" comment, it doesn't need to happen as part of the core Octopress project and I am sure the interest of Octopress is not limited to hackers, even if that is the focus user base? This is partly why I suggested a sister project or 'compatible' third-party project, so it wouldn't burden the main project. As a website operator my focus is reduce the DB as the Achilles heel to upgrades, hence my own interest in Octopress.
