Amazingly open live writer seems to be a very active project that is getting ready for a new release sometime soon!
It is sad that these sort of local apps are a thing of the past. It is all every changing web UIs. One of the blogging platform I use (hashnode) recently rewrote their entire experience and it is now 5 types of broken and they removed a bunch of features. (Their latest company announcement saying that "focusing on blogging was a mistake" also doesn't inspire confidence...)
I'm also hosting a Hugo blog, and using a markdown editor, but the blog posting workflow (edit markdown, run Hugo command from cli, commit and push to GH, webhook on server picks up changes and updates the website) isn't exactly a user friendly experience and even having an editor that automated that all away would be nice.
Hey remember local image management software? Or just owning our data in general?
Valid. AI is so good that I reach for it even before doing basic searches. It's now easier to have it write a program than search for one, install it, and learn how to use it.

So, I asked Cursor to make for me a Python script to turn those .wpost files into Markdown files. And... it did. In the first pass.
Probably because the source code of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Live_Writer at https://github.com/OpenLiveWriter/OpenLiveWriter was in its training data.
