Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

This is a very rough script to export your octopress files to Ghost. You will still need to check your data but it will give you a head start. Feel free to fork and optimize the script for your purpose.

The following should be considered:

You need to execute the script in the source/_posts directory
You need to manually copy all the images to /var/www/ghost/content/images
Images with external URLs are not handled
Blockquotes have their issues
Lists are not exported correctly
