Congrats @bobbyiliev, I also reached 12000 followers! However, the Follow rate increased a lot during the past week, and I'm wondering if they are mostly bots because the ratio of views/engagement did not increase much.

I'm not saying that to get more views/comments; my question is: Is there an increase of bots recently on Dev?

Hey @steeve! Nice, congrats πŸ™Œ

Not 100% if those are bots, I've just gone through your profile and it looks like you've been quite active the past few weeks. I've noticed the more good quality content you create, the more followers you get.

For example, for me, the past few weeks, I've had very very few new followers as I've not published any new content.

Yes my regular posting is probably the main reason, thought, when I take a look at the new subscribers, most of them are fresh new accounts

Wrote a blog post (well, finished it -- it's been in the works for a few weeks) for the first time in 6 months. I also have a research paper focusing on the negative effects of ChatGPT that I plan to publish as a blog post soon, which is pretty neat.

The s in the https// means "secure" which means that the site is secure (because it is encrypted).

Finally fixed a very tricky bug. The project I've been working on uses a third-party library with not-so-good documentation. The descriptions for some parameters are not accurate and caused a lot of confusion. Feels like an accomplishment though because now there are better tests in place to prevent the same problems from resurfacing in the future.

My PR to solid-cli was merged. Now, Solid.js is the first framework (AFAIK) that allows you to add Tauri support to your web app after it is created instead of you having to create a new template and port over the code.

I'm proud for our Rio open source launch this weeks! So cool to see how many people already use it for their projects. Rio has been in the works for quite some time, and we would be happy if you give us feedback and give us a star on github.

Rio is a brand new GUI framework designed to let you create modern web apps with just a few lines of Python.

You should make a DEV post for introducing Rio, with:

  • the most basic usage to get started
  • an advance usage example
  • Include benchmarks to compare with similar existing frameworks

I was able to install Linux on my brother's old Dell Chromebook. It took me a few days to figure out since there wasn't much info on this exact model. Even some Reddit users weren't even sure it was possible. I guess I showed them!
