Quoth Andrew Singleton <singletona082 at gmail.com>:

This isn't a question of server software, or anything backend related (unless the pages are generated by the server.)

Example: When I was on windows 10 I used notepad and now that I am on Linux mint I use xed to write the actual page content of my capsules.

Granted the fiction writing components may be written in other programs (most notesbly focus writer) but for the sake of avoiding BOM and any other potential snarls I copy paste everything into xed for the sake of formatting and saving as gmi before upload.

I use filezilla to upload that content both because I find it handy to have an active sit backup that also contains content drafts that I can then zip and back up to several locations, and because flounder explicitly allows sftp.

What do you guys use?

I open /n/ftrv.se/www/blah.md in my text editor, edit markdown, save.To create a draft, the file name used is `_blah.md` instead, so thepost is only visible if accessed directly. To enable comments, I run`touch /n/ftrv.se/www/blah.comments`. Short one-line description forRSS is stored as plain text in `blah.descr`. Each post has a commentlike `` that provides a way tospecify when the post was *actually* modified, regardless of anyfilesystem timestamps.

The server software does the rest (rendering to HTML, Gemtext, RSS,etc). Server filesystem is mounted with sshfs at all times.
