Steps to write a new static micro post:

git push

Doesn’t seem too bad for now. I think I’m going to start a new app that allows me to do all those things from a single form in the menu bar. The more I can treat the entire process as atomic, the more I think I’ll use it.

Update — iSH.app now supports node! I can at least now edit markdown files via the command line on an iPad now. Going to see if I can get gatsby to actually run and connect to localhost…
