I just made a PR for the Ruby site...

Add DEV link to blog page (en) #2163

This pull request adds a link for the Ruby tag on DEV. DEV is the fastest growing community blogging ecosystem in software and makes a lot of sense right here in this list.

There are new posts consistently flowing into the tag, and it is becoming one of the best Ruby resources available.

I emphasized blogging here because that seemed to fit the purpose of the "blogs" page already established on the site. DEV is more than just blogging, but I think you might describe things differently if you're adding it to a footer, adding to a community page, etc.

Context is key.

This pull request adds a link for the Nuxt tag on DEV. DEV is the fastest growing community blogging ecosystem in software. Links to the DEV Community can also be found on vuejs.org making this a perfect symbiosis.

There are new posts consistently flowing into the tag and this will help both Nuxt and the DEV Community.

If this is not the right place for the link or the wording is not what you want, let me know what might be more appropriate. Thanks a lot!

Code for the platform can be found here: github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to

Also just added to the Vue Community page :)

Added DEV link to community page #2333

This pull request adds a link for the Vue tag on DEV. DEV is the fastest growing community blogging ecosystem in software and it would be a good idea to include it in the Vue Ecosystem section on the community page.

There are regularly new posts added to the Vue tag, and it's one of the most followed tags on Dev currently.

Mhm, but isn't that what Ben already did in Feb this year? Or am i mistaken?

I looked for the open PRs and didn't see it added to that particular page and thought it might be helpful to include in the Vue Ecosystem section on the Learn page since it would be applicable to learning Vue. Ben's PR was to add it to the dropdown in the Ecosystem page menu. Mainly just trying to help spread the word and participate in Hacktoberfest :)

That's honorable and really cool, I was just a bit afraid someone could interpret it as spam if we submit too often to the same project. Awesome that you are helping on this :)

Thanks Simon! Really appreciate it. I wasn't hoping to spam them, just hoping to spread the word since I love Dev and thought it might be a good place to share on their community page. Appreciate it! Hope your Nuxt PR gets merged as well.
