This #hactoberfest got me real interested in deep diving into the source code of dev.to, which is slowly becoming my favorite open source project.
So this morning I stumbled across the pro_membership.rb model. This model is responsible for renewing, expiring and checking the status of a user's pro membership.
In all the time I have been a member of dev.to I have not seen the pro membership being explicitly marketed. I haven't navigated the project enough to get a sense of the benefits that come with a pro membership.
So I am curious what the perks and benefits are of having a pro memership on dev.to?

I think so. I remember a similar experience.
Yes, we did deprecate the original subscription, but have been (openly) working on the one we want to stick with longterm.
We moved away from the current offering because it was rushed and had lots of tech debt, but we are gradually building towards the right subscription. We haven't talked much about it, but a lot of the code is shipped. It's in a private alpha of sorts.
I won't get into it, but if anyone is curious there is plenty of technically public info about our intents in the code if you find it. Nothing is finished copy or finished functionality yet.
Thanks Ben for the clarification ππΎ
