An alternative to sharing Matters drafts, it is recommended to view them on a computer, otherwise the text on the images may be difficult to read.

I actually wanted to write this article for a long time, but I lacked motivation. Two days ago, I read the Hermit usage teaching shared by @梁雪丽, and I finished writing it in one fell swoop.

⏹ Why use Google Docs?

  • Avoid losing drafts: Matters drafts are not stable enough, and if you are unlucky, drafts will be eaten. Google Docs provides timely and automatic storage, as long as your network is online, there is no need to worry about losing drafts due to any factors. If the network is disconnected, at least the content before the disconnection can be retrieved.
  • No need to apply for a separate account: Most people now have a Google account, and there is no need to apply for a new account to use Google Docs.
  • Easy to insert pictures: If you edit with a computer, just copy and paste it, much easier than Matters.
  • One more backup, one more guarantee.
