From Vim & Jekyll to Dropbox Paper: My Blogging Workflow Upgrade

Blogger Kyle Conroy reflects on six years of inefficient blogging, averaging less than one post per year. His previous workflow involved writing Markdown in Vim, generating HTML with Jekyll, and deploying to Heroku—a cumbersome and non-collaborative process. After trying Dropbox Paper, he found its Markdown export, real-time collaboration, and commenting features significantly improved his writing efficiency, even enabling writing on his phone while waiting in line. While Paper's API has some limitations, he's open-sourced a Go client and plans to continue using Paper for blogging.
