Would you share your whole journey from the begaining? How could you make this such a big community from the very beginning? I am trying to make such a community in my country in our local language, but I don't know how to grow the community from the root level.

Hi,

I am trying to post content on Dev.to and as per guideline I have followed all format guideline to submit content but every time when I am clicking on submit post then its showing error message that Title can't be blank whether I am mentioning Title also. Please look into this and get back to me with a solution ASAP.

Thanks.

Hey my post says that it is unpublished. So how to publish it?

[Jake Varness]

dev.to is a progressive web app right? This buzzword is something I have yet to demystify and I wanted to know how to get started with making a progressive web app?

If this isn't a PWA then nevermind :)

I really like how fast the dev.to website is. Which technologies did you use for building it?

[Shan Mahanama]

Is there any way to import blogs I've written on Medium to dev.to?

[Rattanak Chea]

What have been the biggest challenges so far for Dev.to? Maybe you can tell a little bit in term of technological challenges, and decision making ?

Hi, I am happy I found this community, because as I can see everyone here are nice and kind and there are a lot of great and usefull articles.

So far, I didn't noticed that you have on article pages share option. It would be great to add this feature for articles like: share on fb, twitter, linkedin and etc.. :D

[Ben Halpern]

Yeah, we should have this.

Site feels super fast! I read your answer about caching with Fastly, but I'm still curious if you use Turbolinks since you're running on top of Rails?

[Nitish Dayal]

Given that blogging platforms are well spoken for, why did you choose to create a platform for a market that's already quite saturated? What determines success? How did you form the team that works on this tech with you?

[Mahbub R]

How can I create also like this blazing fast website? is there any roadmap for that?

[Jennifer Bland]

I want to grow my brand awareness on the Internet with the content I am writing on medium and my blog as well as videos I have created on YouTube. What would you recommend I do to get a bigger audience for my content?

At the risk of sounding self-serving, you should crosspost to dev.to! I'm sure your content would do well here and we act as a big signal boost. Beyond that, consistency is key. If you establish a regular pattern for putting out work, people will start to pay attention, and anything you can do in person, like submitting to talk at conferences, will help a lot in gaining a following.

You can do the crossposting automatically here: dev.to/settings/publishing-from-rss

Thank you so very much for the response.
