Quill - Ghost blog admin app
Quill brings the Ghost admin's elegant design to a 100% native and modern Android app. It is designed to be simple, beautiful, and fast. What's more, it is completely open-source, just like Ghost! (contributions welcome, Github link is below)
HIGHLIGHTS
• Simple, intuitive interface based on Material Design principles (along with some tasteful animations!)
• Markdown editing with preview
- swipe to switch between editing and previewing
• 100% Markdown compatibility with Ghost
- insert images, footnotes and code blocks like you're used to
• Works with Ghost Pro (ghost.io) blogs as well as self-hosted blogs
• Offline mode
- Quill is designed to work 100% offline -
- just sync when you're connected later! Ideal for writing while travelling.
• Native image upload from your phone or a web link
• Attach tags and a cover image
• 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, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Croatian. If you'd like to see support for your language, contribute @ http://tiny.cc/translate-quill.
GHOST VERSION COMPATIBILITYQuill has been tested against versions 0.6.3 to 0.11.3 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 ISSUESIf 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. If I ever do make money off this app, it will be by letting people purchase the app forever for a small one-time fee, but never through ads.

TECHNICAL NOTE ABOUT THE GHOST APIThe 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.
Quill for Ghost is an unofficial app. Ghost and the Ghost Logo are trademarks owned by The Ghost Foundation.

I don't understand how this app is supposed to work?? not enough info. can sign in
This app doesn't work. Please don't waste your time installing it.
Fantastic app for managing a Ghost blog. Simple, intuitive, and functional.
This might honestly be the best app ever. EDIT: Ghost 1.0!!! 🎉
App on this tablet (tab a) doesn't connect and says my ghost is older than 1.0 however it is latest stable build. :( other wise great app and works on nexus 7.
Much better than trying to use the Ghost editor on a mobile browser!
Wonderful, thanks!
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.
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 :)
This app works fantastically with self-hosted Ghost. It makes mobile publishing so much easier.
Crashes after successfull login. Already send a report. Otherwise, was once the best app, hands down!
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!
Can't believe this app is free and so damn good!
Wonderful app admin ghost blog. U will love it. Thanks Vicky.
Wow, what a great app! Thank you so much! This is FOSS at its finest.
The best way to use ghost from a mobile device!
Stunning and simple to use.
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
This is a very good app indeed. Clean interface and easy to use. Great job Vicky. Highly recommended.
This is the ghost tool I have waited for with offline editing and perfect material design aesthetic this app hands down feels like an offical app with every feature aupported perfectly and responsively
Thank you very 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.
This app is a joy to use. Very excited to see more features get added. Would love to manage all my ghost blogs with this.
Great UI, very slick and seems to work offline. Very happy!
Would 100% be a 5 star app if it supported multiple blog accounts
This little app is awesome. Does all I need it to and super simple to post and keep your blog up to date
Absolutely love the app. Makes it easy to jot a few things down on the go
As mentioned this software is deprecated, and refers to an official package for Android, which since has also been deprecated. There is alternative it seems.
