I recently switched from ghost to hexo, and the biggest thing missing for me was the editor interface. So I made one. Currently, it’s mostly a clone of the Ghost interface, but I have some ideas for making it even more awesome.
Get the source code, or npm install --save hexo-admin-plugin to get this goodness for your hexo blog. Note: There is no security, so don’t use this plugin on a public-facing server. Access @ http://localhost:4000/admin/
I’ve also put together an online demo that’s not connected to a backend - most operations should work, but nothing persists.
Instructions & Quickstart on the website.
