Can confirm - Grammarly is awesome! Didn't know about Hemingway Editor - will check it out. As for Forest - I can't speak for mobile, but on desktop, I prefer something a bit "tougher" - Cold Turkey Also, as a shameless plug, I've created a tool ( browser extension ) exactly for this purpose - CodeWrite - blogging tool for developers . It has a WYSIWYG editor with Markdown shortcuts, integrates well with Grammarly, has a built-in code editor and formatter, and "auto-fills" (cross-posts) your blog post on Hashnode, Medium, and Dev.to while automatically handling incompatibilities. It has premium plans (as cheap as $3/month), but you can use it for free within certain limits, so check it out if you're interested!
Nice post - seems like we’re mostly on the same page. After blogging for over 2 years, I’d say that after the initial steps, consistency is the key to success. It might be controversial but I’d say you should put out even the slightly less-quality articles just to be consistent. It makes your audience know that you’re active, and also makes you improve your writing skills and efficiency bit by bit, even without conscious effort. As a shameless plug regarding technical blogging, I’ve created a browser extension for this purpose - CodeWrite . It combines a developer-focused rich text editor with Monaco editor for snippet handling, and an auto-filling system (with support for Dev.to, Hashnode, and Medium) to make cross-posting easier.
