√ Dedicated markdown editor
Everytime you create a post, you have your "YAML Front Matter" header already in the editor. You can just type what you want in the YAML templates and don't need to worry about its format.

Also when you're writng, you have all the widgets right on top of keyboard. From there, you can directly preview the post, play with settings of editor (e.g. font style, font size and file extension etc), insert common markdown elements, undo, move cursor pre/next and dismiss keyboard.

GitHub Flavored Markdown is supported.

√ Preview
You can preview markdown of post. The preivew render does support code syntax highlighting. One cool thing about it is that when you click the link and want to verify that link does point to correct address, you don't need leave the app and fire up safari, as we will render it in a popover under then link you clicked.

√ In-App web browser
Click the link in home view will render your website in in-app browser. You can verify whether the post shows up on your website after published.(It may take up to ten minutes until your page is available.)

Missing Organization Pages
Garth Braithwaite

I have some organization gh-pages that aren't showing up. I'm assuming because they don't use a gh-pages branch; org pages use master.


The app is broken
Mefohfjdjs

It has problems choosing the repository link. For example my blog is at 403penguin.github.io but when I choose that repository it does this. 403penguin.github.io/403penguin.github.io I will change my review once this gets fixed.


I'm hopeful, yet disappointed
¡RalphMacchio!

The repository list is truncated at 30 repositories. Unfortunately, the repo that I want to edit isn't within my first 30 (alphabetically). I'm looking forward to a fix so I can use the app soon.


Perfect
JasonStallings

This was exactly what I was looking for. Very well done!


Buggy
tjsander

Discarding a draft does not work. Must force quit to get back to posts.


Validation errors
Disputulo

This app is beautiful and easy to use, but it doesn't let me sync new posts to my github repo. When I try it throws a validation error. Would rate higher, but that's what the app is designed to do. Without that functionality it's not useful.


Very good app
ze3kr

This version is work very well!


Surprisingly well integrated
lewdlemon

I initially didn't expect too much, but was pleasantly surprised. The app instantly knew what my GitHub Pages repo was and was able to authenticate to push posts towards it. The only issue that keeps this from a 5-star app is that it's controls for previewing (swiping right while editing a draft) cause the app to hang on a blank screen. While not a direct crash, the only solution to this is to restart the app.


Great app but..
jcoz00

I love this app it's great, but I can only publish posts. I am unable to delete them. Please fix.
