I’ve been experimenting with creating native Mac OS apps lately, and I had been thinking about what one specific to writing with WordPress would look like.
Quill looks like it is almost exactly what I had in mind. It’s a writing-first app so you can draft and publish on your local device and publish to your WordPress site. The writing experience is what is most appealing. This feels like a good approach.
I might check this out. The big question for me will be if it supports post formats.
There are other questions too about post-publish features that I might only get through WordPress, and that’s the Jetpack Newsletters and Jetpack Social posting options. Are those tied to the editor only? Can a native app connect to those features?
If any of these things are possible on a MacBook, then I might be looking into building my own WordPress app for my phone. I’m using the Jetpack app (even for this post), but the actual writing experience doesn’t fit with how I want to use it.
I’m intrigued.
