Jianshu's Creation Experience
Categories:
The article writing experience on Jianshu is only slightly better than Notepad.
Simple Note Management
This is the article editing page, with only two levels of abstraction,
- Notebook list
- Note list
- Editor
Fewer levels have their pros and cons; simple operations can reduce the learning curve. However, it will increase the author’s article management cost in the future.
Difficult Image Upload
Jianshu has still not properly handled the issue of uploading external link images for as long as 8 years
Uploading external links only fails sometimes. Many image hosting services allow fetching with an empty referrer or any referrer. Jianshu doesn’t even try, and claims that local upload is the “correct” way to upload images. I wonder if the operators have ever tried the creation experience on other platforms.
It’s hard to believe that an author would only focus on one platform. If a platform doesn’t make it easy for creators to copy and paste, it will always remain a niche platform.
No Review Process
Jianshu doesn’t seem to have much of a review process. I’ve never seen a review status; articles are readable as soon as they are published. If a platform doesn’t review much, perhaps we can do this and that…
Random IP Location
Jianshu has not actually implemented IP location; it updates randomly when the IP address is refreshed.
