Craft – the new macOS/iOS sensation

It occurs to me that Craft could also be used as a very quick way to produce elegant blogs, rather like Medium. I’ve asked the developer whether assigning dedicated URLs/domain names is on the roadmap.

I’ve asked the developers, and they’re considering whether to enable users to generate static websites from Craft, too. I’ve had a little experiment of my own, and Craft is perfect for generating very good-looking, if (currently) simple, websites. Templates and tables are both on the roadmap, as is integration with Apple Calendar, so the future is looking bright!

One of the interesting aspects of Craft is its seamless inclusion of PDFs. In fact, you can generate a complex PDF from a Craft page, then include the PDF as an element in another Craft page. On the downside, Craft doesn’t yet index embedded PDFs (at least, my tests suggest it doesn’t), so you can’t search PDF content within Craft.

Cheers,
