Blog Publishing Client Alternatives
Blog publishing client software are applications which you publish to your blog (on WordPress, Blogger, or other CMS) with a secondary software. This has the advantage of writing posts from your desktop (laptop, mobile whatever) without logging into your site. Also, using the client can keep things less complicated if you just want to write a post and not get into a lot of extras with your CMS. In some cases you can even use a blog publishing client to cross-post between your sites, even those running on different CMS/ software.
Sadly, there are not many reliable blog publishing clients still active. I think this is due to people not really creating and running their own sites any more.

Comments and Reviews
It seems that OLW is abandoned. No updates and no solutions to problems.
It is most certainly not. The GitHub is still active and they still merge pull requests. Development is very slow but not abandoned.
It most certainly is, Jake. The last version was released on May 23, 2017. It's 0.6.2.0.
I just tried using this to access a Google Blogger account - Google has disabled the oauth process, which makes the client unusable. It still works on one of my Worpress accounts, but I'd agree, the app is dead.
