About Quill - Ghost blog admin with full offline support
Ghost (https://ghost.org) is a simple, powerful blogging platform that allows you to share your stories with the world.
Quill brings Ghost's elegant design to a 100% NATIVE Android app. It is designed to be simple, beautiful, and fast, with FULL OFFLINE SUPPORT. That means you can write, edit and publish blog posts on the go, in the subway, or on a flight - with no frustrations! Then all you need to do is sync it later when you have an Internet connection.
HIGHLIGHTS
• Simple, intuitive interface based on Material Design principles and Ghost's web interface (along with some tasteful animations!)
• Markdown editing with preview - swipe to switch between editing and previewing
• Native image upload from your phone or a web link
• Offline mode - Quill is designed to work 100% offline -- just sync when you're connected later! Ideal for travellers and journalists.
• 100% Markdown compatibility with Ghost - insert images, footnotes and code blocks like you're used to
• Attach tags and a cover image
• Works with Ghost Pro (ghost.io) blogs as well as self-hosted blogs
• Conflict handling - when a blog post is edited simultaneously from the app and elsewhere (e.g., via Ghost web), Quill will detect the conflict and show you a nice UI to decide what to do - so you never lose your hard work!
• Free with no strings attached - no ads, no in-app purchases, and certainly no data harvesting of any sort, now or in the future (you can actually check the code yourself to verify this - link below). None of your data is saved by me except for crash-reporting or analyzing anonymous usage statistics.
Quill has been translated to several languages: German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Croatian. If you'd like to see support for your language, contribute @ http://tiny.cc/translate-quill.
GHOST VERSION COMPATIBILITY
Quill has been tested against versions 1.0.0 to 1.8.0 of Ghost. Older or newer versions may not work correctly because the Ghost admin API is not stable yet (see note below).
IN CASE OF ISSUES
If you find a bug please email me (vickychijwani at gmail dot com), report it on Github (link below), or describe the issue in your Play Store review. Try to include as many details as you can, and mention the app version, Ghost version, and Android version.
HOW DOES THIS APP MAKE MONEY?
It doesn't (and probably never will). No ads, no data harvesting, no "pro" version - no strings attached. Quill is a pure learning/fun project for me, and is my way of giving back to the wonderful open-source community.

TECHNICAL NOTE ABOUT THE GHOST API
The Ghost API is neither completely stable nor publicly-released at this point. This means that Quill may stop working correctly after major Ghost releases that change the behavior of the API. I will try to track such changes and update the app as soon as I'm made aware of issues.

Well... i am new to Blogging. Having seen this app opened it and i have difficulty filling out the first line. There does not appear to be a help point on the opening page. The owner contacted me on another issue and i have accidently lost her email perhaps she may contact me again.

Quill is a wonderful app with just one main flaw in my opinion. Unfortunately it only allows you to log into one site at a time, meeting you'll be doing a lot of logging out and in if you manage or contribute to more than one Ghost blog. Beyond that limitation, the features and user experience are just right!

Crashes after successfull login. Already send a report. Otherwise, was once the best app, hands down!

Later edit: the issue about crashing at login was solved by following the recommendation from Vicky and I modified some things in my blog, in database. Thanks for help :)

A really great app. The only feature missing for me is scheduling posts to publish in the future. That would earn the 5th star! EDIT: Looking forward to Ghost 1.0 support!

I've been looking for a good blog editor that will work offline (I spend a fair time off-grid in my campervan). This is EXACTLY what I wanted! Nice interface and nice markdown editor with preview. No ads, no distractions, just an clean editor which publishes to Ghost or saves local without problems. PERFECT! Also excellent response from the developer when I had a minor problem (of my making). Nice job Vicky.

Over all a really great app for publishing stores on the go. A few minor sync issues but given the rest of the features and UX (along with the app being free), you really can't complain to much

If you have a Ghost CMS and want a good client to post to your site this is a must have. The only thing I would suggest is adding sharing intent. I'll see things in Google news and want to share them to my site, but I can't share that content to my Ghost blog from this app.
