Hugomac is an osx menubar app to publish your blog directly to Amazon S3. It uses the wonderful Hugo static site generator to create your blog without having to touch a command line.

Here's the general idea:

• You keep a directory of (somewhat) publisher-agnostic markdown files in dropbox, git, iCloud or just sitting in your Documents folder
• You pick a folder where you have a hugo theme (maybe near your documents, maybe from git, it doesn't matter)
• You hugomac to generate your site and publish it to an S3 bucket which has website hosting turned on

That's it.

• clone the source
• do a pod install to get the deps from Cocoapods
• open the .xcworkspace file and build/run

• create an S3 bucket and enable it for website hosting
• get some S3 credentials that have write access to that bucket

• make a new folder and create some posts with this front matter format

• find a hugo theme, download it to a folder

• pick your content directory in hugomac preferences
• pick your theme directory in hugomac preferences
• configure hugomac with the bucket name and credentials

Publish!
