I am posting this with the WordPress.com desktop app on my mac.\u00a0The app has been out for a while but I’ve just got round to testing it.<\/p>\n

I’ve done\u00a0 nothing to set this up other than log on with my WordPress.com username and password, I am presuming that I can post with the app\u00a0because I’ve got jetpack installed.<\/p>\n

The editor looks pretty much like the WordPress.com editor as opposed to the web interface to my self-hosted WordPress blog.<\/p>\n

\"WordPress\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The application feels a bit like a site specfic browser.<\/p>\n

On my site I am having problems uploading images so will be switching to the browsers to finish this post off.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

It does not give me access to things added to my editor by plugins. For example the post to medium<\/a> plugin or the indie-web post kinds<\/a> plugin.<\/p>\n

I guess the writing ‘experience’ is a bit smoother than the browser. I am\u00a0surprised that there is now distraction free mode for writing.<\/p>\n

Hitting preview opened Safari but pointed to the post without\u00a0&preview=true <\/em>the first time I clicked Preview. The next time was fine.<\/p>\n

There are a huge number of Revisions\u00a0saved. I don’t know if this is a good thing.<\/p>\n

An interesting editor but I think I’ll stick to writing posts locally with TextMate for now. This gives me local\/dropbox backups and lots of shortcuts.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that this app will currently not work with Glow Blogs. I suspect that the WordPress.com connection would worry the security folk at Scot Gov.<\/p>\n

From what I’ve read this app is part of major changes happening with WordPress and the Rest API hence the featured image!<\/p>\n
