TL;DR👇
I used to develop apps. I still do, but I used to, too
Back in 2007/2008, I learned Ruby on Rails and developed two prototype si...

This is really timely because we've just begun the phase of overhauling this. @nickytonline and @joshpuetz should check this out 😄
Ha, really glad I added the disclaimer
Really happy you all keep iterating on every aspect, with community involvement 🙌, to keep improving
Reminds me of Jose Aguinaga's famous article about JS development.
First line: No new frameworks were made during the writing.
Top comment below: I highly doubt that.
Thanks for sharing Justin. 🔥
Someone should do this about YouTube recommendations algo.
Someone should make an article about propretary software :p
I set up an RSS feed from my website and was using that to publish to DEV, but since I don't have timestamps set up properly on my RSS feed when it published to DEV it would immediately show as published "20 hours ago". Once I started going in and manually modifying the timestamps it seems like more people have been viewing my posts. I guess this is why!
Definitely. This reminds me of a PR I saw not too long ago
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Unable to change publish date. I personally wish to back date a post, but there is no way to set the publish date (or time) for a post.
Describe the solution you'd like Add a custom variable for
publish_dateDescribe alternatives you've considered Time travel?
Additional context In lieu of being able to delete/edit comments on an old post I have duplicated and republished it as a new post, but the date does not/cannot reflect the origin publish date.
Semi related to #3274 and #1363
And @jess posed a great question
Just wanted to add another thanks for this deep dive @piannaf as I've been referencing it over the past day. First up is getting all of these pieces in the same place: while technically someone could change the feed algorithm right now, one would need to change code in multiple places. That's part of what we're trying to improve!
Wow, thanks! That's an unintended side-effect I'm really glad has been beneficial.
This is awesome Justin! Thank you for the deep dive!
Thank you for taking the time to answer the question in such detail. I believe many users were expecting only to view the tags, users they are following chronologically perhaps like a RSS feed.
Yeah, when I first joined, that's what I expected "feed" to mean. Pretty quickly discovered that wasn't the case. But I've been happy with the recommendations because I like seeing things outside my chosen bubble from time to time.
Can understand, though people getting upset if they put -100 on a tag and still saw it anywhere
Thanks for sharing, @justin
Thanks for sharing this post. I have a better understanding of how posts are selected for display.
This is interesting!
Really cool thank you for posting this
Are there tools for users to tune their feed , e.g. to show content with higher experience level?
"Content customization" allows you to change experience level
-- dev.to/settings/ux
Changing the weight on tags you follow alters the frequency they'll show up in your feed. They can be positive or negative (anti-follow)
-- dev.to/dashboard/following_tags
Following users and orgs increases the chance they will be in your feed
threadkiller thanks!
anyone have the org list?
Thanks for the writeup
This is nice...
So what happens when an anonymous user logged in?
I added the offset trick to the home page of dicopedia.com, it works great! Thanks!
