(Yes, it displays the print twice :-\ I'm sure there's a way to get around it. If it bothers you too much, I accept pull requests!)

Setup your WebHook from within Draft, and now you can write your blog posts in Draft and easily publish.

Future Features

• Automatic uploads using rsync/ssh/file copy
• Settings provided in a file
• Improved error handling (e.g. missing title, etc.)

Known Bugs

• If you're missing important fields (like title and date) it probably will skip publishing that doc.
