DEV Community

Just an idea...

What would be useful for creators would be a platform where they could create and organize.

so, this is in brief my idea:

  • a type of developer community (already, so is good)
  • the community have a private side, but also has a public front-end where you can publish developed products
  • this specific type of communities (team-group) has cooperative development tools like real-time chat/video chat, a shared dashboard, etcetera
  • the dashboard is customizable using HTML/PHP/CSS (and if it is not a security issue, customizzable also using JAVA, with a price OBV... since it costs to host code in a sandbox, not like just HTML/PHP/CSS, same cost as now)

could start with these supported projects (which are easy):

  • software projects development
  • hardware projects development
  • videogames moddding development

these projects are easy to support, and then if the system works well, could be moved on to something more elaborate... scientific/engineering/medical...

the development community should be chosen between these two modes:

  • for-profit (paying for legal fees)
  • non-profit (free since it is the same as any other community, with a small fee if a team wants to add, ad example, voice chat, JAVA, etcetera)

under the current sidebar on the right, two banners showing all these communities and their publishing front-ends:

  1. PAID: a prominent banner above shows 4 paid communities
  2. FREE: and only 1 banner below shows the free ones, one at a time; every time a user loads the page, the sidebar 4+1 show other communities)

this way, the social network make more reasoning/innovation/usefulness

people would post stuff, write comments, read projects, visit the front-ends, etcetera, and link the projects...

I tryed to create an image for show my idea, using Gemini, but the result is not good, so... just use your immagination ^_^
