How I wrote this technical post with Nebo: an Android gamechanger ✍️

I have recently started writing for myself, and I thought it might be a good idea to share
my writing with others.

However, I am currently on vacation and I do not have 24/7 access to a laptop for writing purposes.

Do you know what I have, though?
My recently-bought Samsung tablet and a nicely-made app called Nebo. With their documents, I can just hand write some text using the included pen, and turn the witing into properly formatted text very easily

It is amazing, I can even add modifications to already processed text for fixing minor grammatical mistakes, or typos such as missing '-' characters.

I can also add math using their math object, which turns it into Latex (sadly not Katex...)! While not ideal for this site, it is perfect for my Quartz Digital Garden.

F=ma F=ma

And this allows me to write an equation and turn it into Latex automatically!

Then I can copy the full text without the
need to turn it ito text without destroying my terrible handwriting.

I have some minor issues like the fact that I cannot export to markdown automatically or that I have to copy equations by hand, but otherwise it is a game changer for me.
