Gitlab WebIDE

This week I’m travelling for work, and hence carrying only my work laptop. So far all my microblog entries were written from my personal laptop

I have option to clone the repo on my work machine, or not publish anything for this entire week (it is not like I publish every day, still ..)

I prefer not to clone my perosnal repo on work machine, and missing publishing also something I don’t want.

Then I remembered someone mentioning CMS for static sites and how it is just an editor in browser, that is when I struck me that this may be a good opportunity to try Gitlab WebIDE


It looks like VSCode in browser although Market place is disabled.

For a simple markdown, I do not need any fancy IDE anyway. Decent syntax highlighting (which works) is enough.

I do miss modal editing (I use helix for these posts) but that is OK.

So here is my first post not written using native editor 😄
