Background
Many excellent programmers and technical professionals enjoy writing technical articles and blogs as a way to share and spread knowledge and experience, expand their visibility and influence, attract followers, and some tech bloggers even earn advertising revenue through writing. Many excellent bloggers have also gained opportunities to publish books and find jobs through this method. Therefore, writing technical articles is a very worthwhile investment that helps oneself while benefiting the public.
However, writing technical articles is usually time-consuming, especially for high-quality articles. Not only do they require extensive research, thoughtful article structure, and consideration of the target audience, but they also require a lot of preliminary work, such as setting up environments, writing demo code, testing code, and so on. A high-quality technical article typically takes 3-6 hours to complete. However, spending a lot of time writing articles only to have them receive little attention upon publication is quite frustrating. We believe that quality articles deserve attention and dissemination, allowing more technical workers to gain knowledge and benefit from reading them.
Every tech blogger has their preferred technical media platforms, such as Juejin, CSDN, WeChat Official Accounts, etc. Many tech bloggers also like to publish articles on different platforms to seek maximum attention while preventing their hard work from being copied and plagiarized by others. However, publishing on multiple platforms is troublesome: bloggers need to log into multiple media platforms simultaneously and copy-paste their articles one by one. What's more troublesome is that some platforms only support Markdown while others only support rich text, requiring bloggers to convert between the two, which increases workload.
The multi-platform publishing tool ArtiPub solves exactly this problem. Below, we'll introduce the recently launched open-source multi-platform publishing platform ArtiPub.
