I use VS Code with the DEV Community extension. Allows you to easily create new posts and saves them immediately to the DEV dashboard, then you can just edit it in VS Code and preview it with the Markdown previewer right in there, or just switch to the dashboard for a full preview (including liquid tags and such).

That seems super cool! Unfortunately, it does not seem to work at my end, I'm getting an Unexpected end of JSON input error. Probably some of my existing posts' title or content is breaking the JSON and the extension is failing.

I have a similar issue when trying to save sometimes, it mainly happened when I use too many tags (max. 4). It's very possible that it also fails at other times though 🤷‍♂️
