Editing a post from the published page

Since switching my portfolio site over to Ghost, I wanted a quicker way to jump into editing posts and pages. Manually adding /edit to the URL every time got old fast (classic first world problem), so I threw together a lightweight Chrome extension to streamline the process.

Click the extension, and it opens the edit view in a new window, leaving the original page right where it is for reference. Simple, but super helpful for my workflow.

On first use, you’ll be prompted to set the base URL of your Ghost site, whether it’s running locally or hosted externally. After that, it just works.

This isn’t an official Ghost extension or even a published Chrome Web Store item. It’s just a personal tool I’m experimenting with, but I figured I’d share it in case it helps someone else. Feedback and ideas welcome. Enjoy!
