## Google Docs
Google docs come with some neat URL tricks to use them according to your need.

Here we go...

Create new document directly from URL:
https://docs.new

If you are signed in with multiple accounts, then `https://docs.new/2` will create new document with 2nd account, `/3` for 3rd account, and so on.

This is the document that I get now, and we will use this for our tricks:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1emMkr2qXskGDrHtRRrBwUVDNgQYXjtRYW7zTXuHyAak/edit#
