Thanks a lot! Yes, Open Live Writer sounds very similar to what I'd be making. To be honest I hadn't heard of it.

Honestly it doesn't sound like what you're describing. It's an editor and publisher for WordPress, Blogger, TypePad, Moveable Type, etc. Basically MarsEdit but for Windows.

What you're describing seems to be bundling an editor, a static site generator, an S3 syncing service and an S3/Cloudflare onboarding guide.

Thanks, yes you describe my concept quite well. Admittedly i'm not very familiar with OLW so made some assumptions. So perhaps it could be said that if i developed my idea, there's more 'value' in it than OLW in that sense.
