I love how easy it is to dive right into writing without any unnecessary distractions. The interface is clean and intuitive, which is a huge plus in my book. We are able to sync our work across devices with Google Drive and Dropbox **What do you dislike about StackEdit?** Cons is that StackEdit relies heavily on being online so it can be a bit frustrating when you're in a place with spotty Wi-Fi or no internet at all. **What problems is StackEdit solving and how is that benefiting you?** One big problem it solves is the hassle of formatting text. I no longer have to spend ages tinkering with HTML codes or struggling with complicated formatting tools. Instead, I can focus on getting my thoughts down on paper, knowing that StackEdit will take care of the rest. ### 2.

Another really cool feature is the ability to save my docs to Google Drive and access them from any of my devices. **What do you dislike about StackEdit?** I usually encounter issues with my documents when saved to Google Drive.
