Morning Dew Creator

Morning Dew Creator is a link blog authoring tool built for bloggers who curate and share developer links. It streamlines the entire workflow — from fetching stories to publishing a finished post on WordPress — all from your iPhone or iPad.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Fetch shared stories from your NewsBlur feed
2. Links are automatically categorized and formatted into HTML using configurable keyword rules
3. Edit the generated post in a built-in WYSIWYG HTML editor
4. Publish to WordPress — immediately, as a draft, or scheduled for a future date

SMART CATEGORIZATION

Links are sorted into categories using keyword matching on URLs and titles. Configure your own category rules, keyword lists, and author mappings — all editable in-app. Whole-word matching prevents false positives (e.g., "ai" won't match "container").

WORDPRESS INTEGRATION

Publish posts directly to your WordPress site via the REST API. Create and manage draft posts, set categories and tags (auto-detected from content), and schedule future publish times. View post analytics including link count, word count, and comment count.

FLEXIBLE CONFIGURATION

• Customizable blog post name and NewsBlur feed URL
• Configurable default WordPress categories
• Optional Dometrain course section with automatic rotation
• Optional "Geek Shelf" book recommendation section
• Reusable HTML post templates with token replacement
• Light and dark themes

BACKUP & SYNC

Export all your settings, category rules, author mappings, and templates to a single JSON file. Import on another device to pick up right where you left off.

OFFLINE SUPPORT

Recent posts are cached locally so you can review your latest published content even without a network connection.

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS (iPad & Mac)

Ctrl+N (new post), Ctrl+R (refresh), Ctrl+S (save), Ctrl+, (settings), Ctrl+Enter (publish).
