Thank you for sharing this info. Forest app seems to be cool. I am going to use it for my next writing assignment.

Forest really is a great app! Hope you enjoy using it.

Forest is cool it makes pomodoro fun to use.

Completely agree! I've been using Forest for a few years now and love it.

Thanks for the tips. I have written a few articles so far and I have struggled with writing an engaging introduction in every one of them. Any tips for clearing that block?

Hi, thanks for taking the time to check out my article. 😀️

I think the best method or at least what I do is just get straight to the point. Tell the reader what they are going to gain by reading your article.

Especially in the world we live in, where people need to be hooked within seconds. We need to give people a reason to stick around. If we drag out telling them what they gain they're more likely to leave.

You need to give them a reason to stay, they need something to gain. For these reasons, I say get to the point as fast as possible.

That's interesting!! I'll try this with my.next article. Thanks 👍

No worries, hopefully, you find it helpful. Rahul Nayak

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!
