This might be a dumb question, but would you use the deployed version of the admin interface for writing your blog? And what if you weren't online but wanted to work on a new essay or make edits to an existing post?

I usually write posts in Markdown these days, directly in VS Code with the preview pane open.

The blog described in this article renders Markdown directly. My https://simonwillison.net/ blog doesn't do that yet, instead I paste my Markdown into https://til.simonwillison.net/tools/render-markdown and then paste the HTML into the admin interface.
