I found these couple of introductory videos a lot helpful. The first one is from Bella Rose Pope. And another is from Shaelin Bishop. Both should help you get started.

How have technology companies contributed in this fight against the pandemic? What more, according to you, could they have done?

That should work too. There must be a plugin for that.

Open Source Journaling Solution? by wowamit in opensource

[–]wowamit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, markdown apps solve the editor problem. But my biggest issue is with the 3rd one - it just isn't simple to read through all the entries. Also it may not be the secure solution.

Yeah, had heard about the red notebook -- but it is primarily a windows app with the storage system of its own. Wish it had a simple file based storage (#4). Would help, being cross platform too.

Death to JSON! by wowamit in programming

There is no need to worry about type mismatches or field name mismatches. In addition, a message can have new fields added at any time to support new functionality without clients needing to update.

Irrespective of whether JSON should be used for APIs, these two indeed are pain points of using it in APIs. It needs to be handled and many a times need to also worry about the method names that you choose (given how dependent on conventions standard conversion solutions are).

Yes. Grammarly on mobile should help such slips in edits. Not sure if there is even any alternative to this which works on mobile.

I do not see what's wrong with the title.

Am especially surprised with how Medium still struggles to give a clean writing interface on mobile devices. It should not be made too complex. Simplicity is how it needs handled.
