HMS Developers Story — How Technology is Creating a Smooth Writing Experience
Text is more than just lines on a page. It can embody our understanding of the world. But how to better record text and improve writing experience is the next big challenge in the digital age.

According to Li Jianing, CEO of Jnotes, the main incentive to develop the Jnotes app was to provide users with a lifelike digital writing experience that supports their everyday habits. New advancements in network technology and smart devices (like phones, tablets, and watches) are commonplace, which is why many enterprises are adopting a smart office model. The Jnotes app is designed for a paperless society, presenting handwriting at maximum fidelity and minimal latency to fit users' requirements.

Jnotes was established in 2019, recalled Jianing, and with a team of four. Since then, the app has been installed over 30 million times. Jianing says, "This achievement is part due to our continuous investment in advanced technologies, and part to our core focus on user experience". In addition to its excellent writing experience, Jnotes also provides a set of quality functions, such as handwriting duplication, PDF annotation, and image insert. These features make the app a perfect foundation to facilitate both work and studying, for any environment.

Open capabilities from HMS Core have contributed to Jnotes' meteoric rise. For example, Pencil Engine. Its stroke estimate feature improves stroke efficiency and the writing experience. According to Jianing, "This feature helps narrow the distance from the handwriting to the stylus pen tip, and slash the writing latency." Now, writing is smooth as using pen and paper, conforming perfectly to common writing habits.
Another key feature was Drive Kit, which facilitates the synchronization function on the app. Jianing added, "Drive Kit allows users to check and edit their notes on different types of devices, making the app a premium tool for improving productivity".

One core focus for the company was the need to quickly respond to users' requirements. In fact, this is one of the reasons why Jnotes stands out from the crowd. The app adopts Analytics Kit, which allows the support team to check vital operations data in AppGallery Connect — the Huawei platform designed for developers — to swiftly locate issues and make improvements. Jianing explains, "This helps stay on top of, and refine, our operations". This was especially useful when combined with user feedback, helping the company better equipped for the future.

At the 2021 Huawei HMS App Innovation Contest, Jnotes reaped the Best App award. For Jianing and her team, this was the recognition they dreamed, and encouraged the whole Jnotes team to keep pushing their limits.

Each year, the app's user base grows bigger, meaning the Jnotes team will have to stay dedicated to improving its performance. The company will work with HMS Core to offer true-to-life, smooth writing experience.
