I write a lot on Ghost, and while the platform is great for publishing, the writing workflow often feels limiting if you prefer Markdown or distraction-free editors.

My routine has usually been: writing in a dedicated Markdown tool → exporting → adjusting formatting again inside Ghost. It works, but it breaks the flow, especially when writing frequently.

I’ve also used several Markdown-focused tools over the years (including ones I really like), but none of them integrate well with Ghost or support things I rely on when publishing: internal linking, basic SEO preparation, newsletter-friendly formatting, handling multiple drafts, etc.

That’s what pushed me to explore a more “publishing-oriented” Markdown editor specifically for Ghost.

I’ve started building a lightweight web-based editor (Next.js) that connects directly to Ghost via the Admin API. The goal is simply to make writing and pre-publishing smoother.

Some things I’m experimenting with: - live Markdown editor - one-click draft → Ghost sync - simple post management - small, optional AI helpers (internal linking suggestions, SEO prep, outline support)

A very early prototype/landing is here: https://skrivia.com

I’d love to hear from creators, people who write on Ghost or have built tools around it:

Do you also feel friction in the writing workflow? Would a Markdown-first approach be valuable, or is Ghost’s native editor enough for you? Are focused AI helpers useful in this context, or unnecessary? Any pitfalls when working heavily with the Ghost Admin API?

Happy to go into technical details if helpful. Thanks!
