RE: Question About Creating/Editing a Post on Steemit 🌀

in #steemit7 years ago

No, not sure if they even know :-)
I mostly work on outside document. Mostly Google docs that autosave.
I know the Editor save the partial many times but I trust the Google docs more after I have problem with my laptop dying and crashing 2 years ago resulting lost of the documents I was working with many times. I think that's like 3 months after I join steemit. I switched to Google docs and eventually that laptop died but the Google doc habit sticks with me and I found less reason to move away it it seems quite stable.
In between I heard about stackedit and tried it but still ended using Google docs. I just have a look again and seems they have newer version/feature. You can find that here: https://stackedit.io/app#
There's an old post I saw: https://steemit.com/howto/@future24/tutorial-how-to-use-the-stackedit-editor-for-publishing-steemit-articles-easily-english-german
Just be safe and don't go all out till you are happy with the stability. :-)

Ooh, I know that feeling!

About a year ago I used googledocs for a while so I could edit from multiple devices, but then I just got into the habit of doing everything on one computer again. Maybe it's worth a try again for a while to see if I like it.

I'm tired of all the accounts everywhere so I doubt I'll try stackedit, but I appreciate the suggestion^^

I'd be very surprised if steemit doesn't already know about this problem, because it has been happening since I signed up here, iirc.

Ah yes, I forgot the multiple device part. I'll prepare on the laptop. Edit on the phone. Then post on the laptop or phone later. If you do go back google docs, you can also consider getting an Add-on like Markdown Preview. It's not a 100% match but it's useful when you do edit on the computer.

That's a handy tip, thanks^^

If I get any ideas at work I may just try g.docs again...
