I used to use Octopress too, but when I tried out Ghost on a DO droplet I had to switch.
I had started running into problems with generating my Octopress blog when I messed up my Ruby install. Also, although it was a good thing at the time, I didn't like not being able to write posts without my MacBook to hand.
Ghost is nice, fast and easy to use. Static pages are really going to make it even better.
- Argorak 13y agoI had a similar issue, but came to the other conclusion: my blog is running on Middleman, and I kept it that way. My biggest problem with Ghost: lack of offline support. So while I can edit if from everywhere in a browser, I can only do that when online. I have a setup that immediately publishes my blog somewhere when Github receives a push (working through travis). I seperate two branches, one gets pushed to a staging area, one to the live site. I do the touch-up when I am at home. I usually want to write anywhere, but not necessarily publish anywhere. In the end, I just write my posts using any text editor I can find, be it Githubs direct editing. On the train or in a flight, I use an iPhone with a bluetooth keyboard (it works surprisingly well, except the odd looks) or my notebook to write the posts.
- jbrooksuk 13y agoYeah, the offline support is a bummer, but it's something I'm expecting to be remedied by the import/export function. An app which will handle this for you would be very cool!
