/connect sounds really exciting.
I hope it is ensured that the chat does not cannibalize the website. I think it's important to make sure the chat extends the Dev.to page, enriches it and does not replace it.

If dedicated chat is really necessary then it should be intigrated into the page (could the DEV.to page become more real-time to make the chat obsolete?, reduce the hurdles for writing articles and comments can have the same effect ).

For me, the Dev.to concept stands between Medium.com and Twitter.
I am curious if the "warm community" or the "multiplatform unicorn glossy articles" will win the concept fight.
