There's already a bunch of good code editors for iOS, such as Textastic, Koder and Buffer.

Working Copy is a fantastic combined Git client and text editor, which I've used extensively to edit my own website, and Secure ShellFish from the same developer is a great SSH client, file manager and editor.

And using Working Copy allows you to work offline. If your blog is based on Markdown, e.g. Hugo, then Working Copy will even give you a reasonably reliable preview of the article.

If you just combine Working Copy (of which I'm a huge fan) and github actions to build the site on merge to main, you get simple setup that really should do the trick for updates to a static site.

Yep, I use Working Copy with both Jekyll and 11ty sites on Netlify to do the same thing.

Even made a Shortcuts action to create new posts - it formats the YAML frontmatter, inserts the date, asks for title, then creates a new document in Working Copy with the proper file path. Super useful.
