I think I should start using Gibberish for drafting blog posts. Even if it’s something short or private.
I just love this chat-like UI for writing, and also how the app calls drafts thoughts, and published stuff as posts.
In my world these are not posts and I’m not writing a blog here, but it can be a great way to get started. I can just start writing my ideas like I do with messages, and at the end, I hopefully can have a draft.
I wish if it had some form of export to Drafts and then WordPress. I mean I like the idea of writing a blog like this, but other than that, it’s just a feed of my thoughts.
I could even post these things directly to Mastodon and Bsky, but that’s not the point. I want to have a way to import these things into Drafts. I can copy paste, but that’s not elegant.
It’s more like I’m just rambling about ideas here, then doing something with them. I use Gibberish to just collect thoughts then post them to somewhere in the second round.
But I wish the app would be more powerful. I would love to have
- URL schemes for thoughts
- shortcuts support for starting and exporting a thought
- direct sharing from the app
