What we write about

It's essential to recognize the range of readers we're writing for here at RST Software, and to understand their expectations and how best to engage them.

The content is designed to provide insights, tips and guide through all stages of the product development cycle, without overwhelming readers with too many technical details.
2. Best software development practices for developers of all levels and experience, including in-depth guides, case studies, how-to articles and tutorials that uncover the most effective methods of using specific technologies.
3. Ways GIS-powered companies can use geospatial technologies to build complex location-based applications or turn large datasets of geodata into interactive data visualization solutions.
4. Tech industry trends that will shape the future of our lives, both private- and business-wise.

Content writing guidelines

We strive to create engaging and informative content that is well-written and tailored to our audience. To ensure we produce quality content every time, we have created the following set of guidelines for writers:

1. Be data-accurate: All content should be well-researched and accurate, with all sources properly cited. When using technical vocabulary, always provide definitions.
2. Be original: Content should be original, and not copied from other sources. We use plagiarism and AI-generated content checking tools to make sure our authors follow the rules.
3. Pay attention to details: All content should be proofread and edited for mistakes, and typos. Words or phrases repetition within the same paragraph is not welcome and should be avoided at all times. Use LanguageTool's browser extension or any other preferred means to find synonyms. Before exposing your written material to other editors / writers, please read it out loud or use a dedicated Read Aloud extension to check no critical issues in the text flow persist.
4. Pay attention to readability: All written content has to be properly formatted before publishing: ie remove leading and trailing whitespaces (trailing whitespace is any spaces or tabs after the last non-whitespace character on the line until the newline), double spaces, multiple carriage returns etc. For more details, please refer to our official Style Guide or Butterick's Practical Typography.
