Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I for Bold and Italic (obviously),.There are different visual themes available (I prefer GitHub) and once you learn a few keyboard shortcuts, you will get extremely productive.

It allows you to edit the markdown code directly, if you so desire, but you don't have to. Typora works on Windows, Mac and Linux and is quite minimalistic.

And for me the main tool to write markdown is Typora, Electron-powered cross-platform WYSIWYG editor. Implementation Editorīlogging is writing. It's actually capable of many things - check their site and go through some of their tutorials to learn more about Hugo itself. But don't get me wrong - it's not THAT simplistic.

Transparent - content fully accessible in simple formats, no database 'obfuscation'.īecause of these reasons I chose a handy generator called Hugo, which builds the whole site from markdown files and HTML templates.

Automatically published when done editing.

Backed by Git, so that It's possible to track changes and place it to a cloud source-control system.

Markdown as the authoring format (I got used to it way too much in the recent years).

Minimal in all aspects - disk space, design etc.

I was posting only once a month, so there weren't many changes anyway. One day I realized that I don't need the blog to by dynamic, to be generated from a database every time someone wants to read an article.

I'm using Typora, Hugo, Git and Visual Studio Team Services to author posts and publish them automatically through continuous integration pipeline. This post is about the next step, an evolution, which is a statically generated site. It works just fine, we use it at Microsoft and also my Czech dev-blog is powered by WordPress. Dynamic blog engine followed (and is still running!), but then I finally realized that it's not the right time to write yet another MVC-CMS system and switched to WordPress. I basically learned the programming language by coding a sophisticated guestbook component for my various websites. Historically, I've been the PHP kind of blogger.
