They are pretty dope if I may say so myself

1. Grammarly

No editing can be complete without Grammarly. It is incredible if your writing needs some work. Most of the suggestions are spot on for polishing your posts.

2. Hemingway App

Incredible for making sure that your reader can understand what your message.

3. Keyhole

It is literally thousands of hashtags circling around the social web. Keyhole helps you find the specific ones for your article. It helps potential readers find you with the appropriate tags.

4. Hashatit

Very similar to Keyhole it finds the most used hashtags used on the social web. It pulls in data from Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. It certainly helps me find good hashtags to use for Instagram, because I suck.

5. Google News

Medium rewards articles that are focused on a trending topic. Looking into the Google News will help you find great ideas for articles.

6. Google Trends

My favorite thing to do with Trends is to find a topic that is brewing to the surface. Some topics are not covered by a lot of the popular media outlets. It helps to get a jump on them.

7. Medium Mobile App

I use it for note-taking. If you are trying to write an article on the App, give up. The app is made for consuming not producing. However, I like to jot down possible ideas for articles in it. Sometimes jotting down a few sentences.

8. Aviary

Pretty powerful for polishing up your images. Very user-friendly and easy to use. I actually feel like a real designer after I’m done.

9. Typorama

Awesome app to put words onto pictures. Many different typefaces and images to choose from.

In conclusion, these tools help to improve your articles a ton. Try them all out and find what works best for you.
