From a reviewed Google Doc to a DEV article
Technical posts usually get reviewed in Google Docs, then someone rebuilds them in Markdown. Docswrite converts the doc to Markdown for you, re-hosts the images and publishes the article to your DEV Community profile.
Connect with a DEV API key. Add the canonical URL when the post first ran on your own blog, group posts into a series, and publish again to update the same article.

Teams that stopped copy-pasting
I wish you could have seen the excitement on my employee's face when we sent a document. You've created a really great solution to a huge problem.
Michael GrantFounder, Get Current StudioDocswrite is great. Have been playing around with it for the last week or so, and we are currently evaluating using it for our entire portfolio of clients (~250 blogs a month) as publishing currently takes up a lot of our team's time.
Milena ManolovaCOO, Team Color CodesWe managed to grow our daily traffic with 10% for the first month with docswrite! This really saves us a ton of manual work.
