I’m not sure why I didn’t do this before, but I just tried and I don’t like it quite as much:
Footnotes don’t transfer.
Images aren’t allowed in footnotes.
You can’t add nice captions to images.
It’s a bit overkill for what I want. Since my main output is Markdown, any feature that doesn’t transfer to Markdown just adds complexity to the editor and gets in my way.
I was pleasantly surprised that copying images from Google Docs works though.
I imagine for people with more general posting goals this would be a good idea, but since the only two outputs I care about are LessWrong and Markdown, using the LessWrong editor works better for me.
I don’t need a backup on Google Docs since I use my personal site for that (the content is all on GitHub + several of my computers).
Better spellcheck would be nice, but I just run my posts through an AI before posting and it seems to work pretty well.
Ah, right. I’m opposed to footnotes, so I don’t use them, and I rarely use image captions, preferring to address any images directly in the text. Those would change the calculus, though, if I wanted them.
