Show HN: Glee – Publish Markdown Files into Ghost Blog Posts
Hi HN,
Earlier had published a related blogpost [1] to HN. Just posting the github link, in case someone (or engg. team) finds this useful.
TLDR: A simple tool to publish markdown files into a Ghost [2] blog post. Super useful for engineering teams, because as engineers we'd rather commit our blogposts into git, and have things edited and collaborated on pure markdown. Nothing fancy.

- syndicatedjelly 3y agoThank you for making this, I find writing things in Ghost horrendous. You can't copy into/out of Ghost easily without screwing up a ton of formatting. That little "Markdown" field they give you doesn't even render a bunch of standard markdown syntax correctly. It just serves as an irritating abstraction layer for developers who would rather use pandoc
- atomicnature 3y agoYou've captured perfectly in words, what our frustrations were with Ghost (for a long time). All those "markdown cards" and stuff, just distracted from the key thing my team wanted to do: write stuff and improve it with the team :)
- syndicatedjelly 3y agoWhat happens if I don't have an S3 bucket available to host the images? Are there other options that can be configured for hosting images?
- atomicnature 3y agoThis tool was built a year or so ago, when Ghost lacked a sophisticated image API (IIRC). Just checked now, there seems to be a solid API for managing images. Stay tuned to the repo, will try to add support to this. Meanwhile, one could always directly link image URLs (say from Google Drive).
- im_lince 3y agoglee now supports uploading images into your ghost database instead of AWS S3. Please check the Image backend Configuration[1] section in glee readme.
