Wow! This is amazing. I'm in the beginning phase of my development career and I had always wanted to create a blog, but always putting it off. With this, however, I'm in right away!

Also, it is possible to "unpipe" the dev.to and use your settings via Netlify admin panel.

I haven't found any issues. Maybe you should clean the cache in the browser?

Cool, what do you think are the advantages compared to creating your own blog using, for example, Gatsby?

I also loved this feature!
You can also add google analytics to your site.
Moreover, you can point Netlify to the domain of your choice!
I'm in love with these features!
All you have to do next is to post on dev.to!
Best of luck!

Really interesting to see on the Stackbit site that Dev.to is listed as one of the CMSs. I haven't thought about Dev that way before.

Thanks for the guide!

It's on the list because your posts are piped straight to your blog on Netlify!
That's awesome!
