It's not solving my issue on how to connect it in a pleasant way to webflow (and maybe even cross post to medium additionally) but it's nice to know that posting/updating with dev.to is nothing to worry about.. ☺️
The main text editor of medium doesn't allow markdown. However, just like DEV, you can use Medium's API endpoints to post a blog.
Point to be noted: You can't edit posts with medium API
Anyway, thank you so much for your thoughts and attention 🙏
You will always have your back covered here at DEV.
I mention it in the post, too ;)
I am too lazy to read the full post(sorry) 😋
FINALLY
I turned your this post into this Dev post(don't worry, this is just an example. I haven't and will not publish the post). Let me know once you are done looking at the post and I will delete it.
Is this what you were looking for? (let me know. I will be happy to share the process)
Maaaan, this is amazing! Seems that there is literally everything in the right place.
I just started to build a node script, that will parse markdown to HTML. Then I can send the markdown via the API to dev.to and HTML to webflow (which is accepts with HTML, I found out). But I have to find the right parser first and there are many other cornerstones on the way too :)
Hence, I'm very curious about how you've achieved that result!
Here is a good news for you. DEV supports markdown and you can write raw HTML in markdown. That means you can even write HTML in DEV and it will work perfectly.
nice catch!!! This will be a great way to migrate my existing posts🚀🚀
I'll still build the automation pipeline for future articles since this will be not only very convenient but also the only way to have code highlighting optimized on all the platforms...
My fellow DEV, if you ever need anything, let me know ;)
interesting fact: if someone wants to cross post on codementor.io, they also support markdown, but they rather use a simple parser, which does not recognize raw HTML...
You can write the full article with markdown (that's what I do)
You can use cloudinary for uploading the photos
You can update the post with DEV API.
Take a look at the API, it might fix all your issues. 😊
Finally, welcome to the DEV community.
Thanks!

thanks man, this is very valuable information!
and also, what would I do with my already created posts?
it's about 15 thousand unmarkdowned words lost in RTF 😅
DEV allows crossposting. Just copy the canonical URL of your already created posts.
yeah, that's not my issue, but they are formatted as rich text format (tons of links, headings, bolds/italics, images, quotes etc. etc...)
converting them manually is like rather something that I dream of after a challenging day 😅
Can I get the link of your website where you post the blogs? That might be a little helpful.
Sure: fullstack.coach
I mention it in the post, too ;)
It’s hosted with webflow.com
Here is an example post:
fullstack.coach/post/what-is-a-ful...

dev.to rocks! 🤟
Looks like a good deal to me
Seems pretty legit
Without any single doubt
