Blot
Turns a folder of markdown files into a blog automatically.
Blot is a blogging platform with no posting interface: it watches a folder in your Dropbox, Git repository, or iCloud Drive, and every markdown file you drop into that folder becomes a published blog post.
Because the source of truth is plain markdown files on your own disk, you write in whatever editor you like and keep a complete local archive of your site. Blot handles templates, RSS, and hosting for a flat subscription fee.
