whippoorwill

whippoorwill is a writing room — rich text, autosave, no fuss. write a post, save it as a draft, publish when it's ready, and it auto-pulls into your magnolia site.

publishing flips the status and makes the post visible on your magnolia blog. there's no separate "push to magnolia" step.

categories are your taxonomy — group posts however makes sense for your business. "how-to," "news," "behind the scenes," whatever you want.

the slug is the human-readable url for the post. yoursite.com/blog/the-five-things-i-learned. clean slugs share better and search better.

your published whippoorwill posts auto-pull into your magnolia site's blog section — no separate publish, no copy-paste, no separate cms to maintain.

writing one post at a time mid-week is hard. writing five posts in a saturday afternoon is easier — drafts let you batch and schedule the publish.

whippoorwill saves your post 800ms after every change. there's no save button, no "are you sure you want to leave" warning — just a saving / saved indicator at the top of the editor.

the excerpt is the one or two sentences that show on your magnolia blog page below the post title. it's the hook — write it like you'd write a tweet for the post.

every post can have a hero image at the top. paste a url to any image — bullfrog, an external host, anywhere. the image renders at the top of the post and on the blog index card.

whippoorwill's body editor handles headings, bold, italics, lists, blockquotes, code, and links. select text to surface the toolbar, or use keyboard shortcuts.

if a post is wrong, embarrassing, or just not what you meant — delete it. the cleaner alternative is flipping it back to draft so it's hidden but recoverable.

magnolia uses your whippoorwill categories to group posts on your blog page. visitors can filter to one category — "how-to," "news," "behind the scenes" — without seeing everything else.
