I too thought of dev.to as a kind-of open-source Medium alternative after I read about the site. Although, I like GitHub's "sponsor me" feature, which is kind of what Medium offers too. Except, they have the forced reading throttling they do unless you are a subscriber.
Sponsor me is an interesting feature. However, in my experience most devs just skim articles or try new tools & rarely hit that sponsor button.
You'd be lucky if they βοΈ your repo || buy you a cup of coffee to sponsor your passion. For example, my vscode Data Preview πΈ extension has over 23K installs & I only had 3 devs buy me a βοΈ on ko-fi.com/dataPixy :)
I started blogging here just to share what makes my π tick ...
I'm a fan of Open Source and have a growing interest in serverless and edge computing. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but they're doing good work eating bugs. I also stream on Twitch.
Hi guys!
Great blogging site for devs. I am only on day 6 posting here, but so far I really like your platform. Beats medium hands down!

Yh. But only 3 devs
well, that's the price of OSS I guess :)
You can actually clear cookies and throttling goes off. No subscription, no pain :/
Pretty neat indeed
Welcome!
Nice!
this is awesome!
Wow, this is great!
Thanks! I am up over 1K followers now after 12 days on dev.to.
