Ask HN: Medium.com alternative for developers?
5 points by sergiotapia on June 30, 2018 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
Medium keeps making steps that push me away as a developer.

What alternate sites are there for developers? I'm particularly interested in the network effect where you can post something and people interested in that topic would see your article.

There used to be https://tech.pro but they closed up shop years ago.

It seems there really is only Medium in this space?




Quora has a decent community of developers and computer scientists while offering great writing experience and content exposure for a blog platform, though its primary purpose is being a Q&A site. [0]

The code rendering and presentation on the site is also on par with what you'd expect from sites like Stack Exchange and ilk.

One downside however is the extremely low quality content on some topics (most, rather) that gives rise to hive mind and polarization, especially around sensitive subject matter.

You might like dev.to which is a blog platform/community for developers. Users can choose which topics they are interested to and see content relevant to those.


Reddit is a social networking site... But is populated with good content...


Have you tried dev.to
