The 7 Most Popular DEV Posts from the Past Week

Every Monday we round up the previous week's top posts based on traffic, engagement, and a hint of editorial curation. The typical week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday, but don't worry, we take into account posts that are published later in the week. ❤️

1. Minimal & Efficient

Liyas shares the story behind Postwoman, an API request builder that helps create requests faster and save time on development!

2. Exocortex

Max explains the SQ3R note-taking approach and shares their process with us.

3. The Ultimate Checklist

Lizzie shares a handy checklist of pre and post launch considerations to ensure optimization for search engines.

4. Bandwidth Bot

Andrew wanted to make sure their ISP was providing their guaranteed minimum speeds (or your money back), so they built a bot!

5. Light, Fast & Useful

Mark shares twenty-five shortcuts, settings, and extension recommendations for VS Code users.

6. Consider Contributing

Despite the title, this post is actually about why you should contribute to open source and how to get started.

7. Selfies2020

Lina shares all their takeaways from building a 'tongue-in-cheek' social media game theory multiplayer game. Takeaways range from design to tooling to infrastructure.

That's it for our weekly wrap up! Keep an eye on dev.to this week for daily content and discussions...and if you miss anything, we'll be sure to recap it next Monday!

What a brilliant set of authors and posts!!

Max's post spurred me to action, trying out gitbook - it's pretty cool. I wish "Exocortex" was a general use term, though 😁
