Even though I think there are way too many of these, if you see the top posts this week, month or year they're almost always lists of things.

  • "Top 10 ways to improve your app performance"
  • "100 CSS animations to do this"
  • "10 useful web development tools to do that"

I think they provide good value in condensed form, but IMO they are overused and a lot of the times repetitive. So if your only goal is to get views, maybe try making a post like this, just know that I wont click on it.

Personally, I just try to write the best possible post I can. If it's good enough, people will like it, share it and it'll become popular. If it doesn't get popular (which is most of the time), oh well! I'll be content with just giving good info to a handful of people.

Definitly not what I'm aiming for! My goal is sharing my joy in development!

Same here 😊
