Is there a good way to post from .Rmd to dev.to yet?

I know we have blogdown and distill, which are great for hosting whole sites. We also have the github_document output from knitr, which is ok, but a little manual to get something up on the site.

Does anyone know if there is any work being done to publish more effectively to dev.to, or something that I might have missed that is well known?

I posted this on twitter and got some great responses: twitter.com/DaveParr/status/126054...

So the answer appears to be "RSS feed from my blogdown", which is definitely robust and great for people who already have a blog setup. However, for those of us who don't have blogs, and have a higher tolerance for 'experimental' lifecycle stage code, I started a project to use the api to post. It can be found here: github.com/DaveParr/dev.to.ol
