It's not solving my issue on how to connect it in a pleasant way to webflow (and maybe even cross post to medium additionally) but it's nice to know that posting/updating with dev.to is nothing to worry about.. ☺️
The main text editor of medium doesn't allow markdown. However, just like DEV, you can use Medium's API endpoints to post a blog.
Point to be noted: You can't edit posts with medium API
thanks for the idea! That's very nice outside-the-box thinking 🚀🚀
I could even provide a canonical URL right away. (although the impact on SEO is a bit unclear because usually what you'll do is: posting your original content in your place and only after a few days cross-posting it so that search engines have enough time to figure out the original content)
However, webflow (my blog host) doesn't have the option to import HTML...
You can write the full article with markdown (that's what I do)
You can use cloudinary for uploading the photos
You can update the post with DEV API.
Take a look at the API, it might fix all your issues. 😊
Finally, welcome to the DEV community.
Thanks!

thanks man, this is very valuable information!
and also, what would I do with my already created posts?
it's about 15 thousand unmarkdowned words lost in RTF 😅
DEV allows crossposting. Just copy the canonical URL of your already created posts.

I’ve built a little commandline tool for that now.
Check it out, if you’d like to host your markdown on webflow:
