Thought about it already. Maybe in the future. Auto-filling on the web is pretty hard - especially with contenteditable rich editors. Techniques that I use won't work on every website, but on the vast majority. Might do a blog post on this.
So, if I manage to standardize it, then yeah, API might be on the way.
Accessibility First DevRel. I focus on ensuring content created, events held and company assets are as accessible as possible, for as many people as possible.
I meant an API to retrieve the HTML / markdown generated for processing.
I thought that way people can use your service to write, then publish to everywhere including their own site. Or is that what you meant was difficult 😋?
then go to one of Medium, Hashnode, or Dev.to, open pop-up and click publish
CodeWrite detects potential issues (e.g. images too large, code highlighting not supported), presents you with potential solutions (e.g. resize image to FHD, convert to GitHub Gists embeds) and "auto-fills" the post's content within the editor.
Auto-filling and issue-resolving mechanisms aren't the same for every website, and so they aren't good candidates for an API.
I could provide generalized access to the pop-up menu and created content, but this would leave too much work on the API user's side.
As for standard "Markdown exports" - they're in development, alongside GitHub Pages auto-filling.
Hopefully, I'm clear. CodeWrite is a rather unique idea and it's quite hard to explain it properly.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Sorry just re-read this.

Kind-of. Right now it works like that:
