Blogging with Hugo from mobile apps

I want to be able to blog from the mobile device so that I can share something when I’m on the go. There seem to be quite a few apps around that can access up directly, but nothing seems to be as good as the official GitHub app.

With the app, you can create a new markdown file in the repository and dictate via voice dictation or whatever you want to post. This works more or less well with the only exception that iOS dictation is still kind of buggy.

Let’s try how this works. The file I’ve created doesn’t contain a Hugo head so it might not work from the very beginning.

If it works, you can see this post.

Therefore, let’s push and see, and have a nice day 🙂

Edit: it didn’t work from the beginning without the Hugo header, so this is still a bit cumbersome. This means that you basically have to copy paste the header for every new file. Maybe this can be automated away somehow.
