This is a risky direction.
In 2035, Dev.to is bankrupt and no longer exists. You still have your Markdowns but you lose the uploaded pictures.
I have a few blog posts written around 2008 where images were uploaded to third party hosting services. In 2017, I discovered that the images hosting service was closed and all these images disappeared.
I had to dig out the original files of these blog posts and re-export the images. The files were in Kingsoft WPS 97 format, and I had to download that application in order to open the files.
I'm still mourning the loss of a few videos from 2006 that I uploaded to now-defunct third party hosting and no longer have a backup myself.
I disagree.
There is nothing wrong or risky in leveraging Dev.to as a CMS, as long as you back up your data.
It would be pretty trivial to set up a service/app to save your articles each day using the Dev.to API and performing a download of any images you've used in your articles.
Why not take advantage of the free platform Dev.to is providing? Just take backups of your data.
