Did you give bitdowntoc a try before writing this comment?

I would be interested in your advices to make the experience more streamlined. Currently you copy from dev.to, paste to bitdowntoc, click, click, paste again on dev.to. This makes it difficult to "mess up".

The only better approach would be a chrome extension integrating bitdowntoc, but I unfortunately don't have time for that right now.

Thanks for your response. I tried the tool and it works as explained. My complaint was only about the title "Finally a clean and easy way to add Table of Contents to dev.to articles" - I was hoping to see Dev.to adding this functionality natively, but apparently they don't bother doing this.
Using online editor might be easy for edit-what-you-see workflow, but when it comes to managing separately hosted images, copy-paste get a a bit tricky. Thus I hope they'll have a native TOC button online, or I have to stick to the local editor with plugin.

+1 for a built-in tool!
