   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

   🏁 Competitors: Medium

   👍 Pros:    Free

   👎 Cons:    Social justice|Basic features|Quality of content

• Cable Puller -> Bug Sniffer -> Business Builder :: My Unexpected Journey

  Cary On I would be lying if I said I am happy with how this post is ending but I know this isn't the end. Despite my disappointment I know I am going to keep trying. At the beginning of this post I was confidence (and maybe a bit unreasonably so) that I was going to be ending this with announcing that I got my client but that isn't what happened. With that said I now see that part of my story to tell is one of... - Source: dev.to / 7 days ago

Obviously, going 100% custom will require more work (on both the design and dev side), but might... - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago
