Run a Gradle build with Nova editor
I build this website with Gradle. Posts are written in Markdown. When I run ./gradlew build, I build a statically generated site, a collection of HTML, CSS, images, PDFs and javascript files. I am trying Nova, the code editor recently announced by Panic. I've been a long time customer of Panic products Coda 2, Transmit. Thus, I was been eagearly waiting for Nova. So far, I can tell you two things. It feels Mac native and it feels fast.
I set some custom tasks to build my website.
Run Tasks provide a highly-configurable interface for running external operations from inside Nova. You can create your own Run Tasks, or they may be provided by Extensions you have installed.
I wrote this blog post in Nova, build the site locally, commit the changes and push directly from the editor.
