How many tools does it actually take to publish one blog post?

We've been looking at the publishing workflow differently while building JustBlogged.

Writing itself isn't always the biggest problem.

It's everything around it.

You might write in one place, clean up formatting somewhere else, check SEO in another tool, generate a slug somewhere else, preview the result, and finally publish it through your CMS.

Each tool solves a small problem.

But the overall workflow becomes fragmented.

We're trying to see how much of that process can be brought together without turning JustBlogged into an overwhelming all-in-one platform.

For people who publish regularly:
