Jan 13: DEV Daily Discovery

Hey folks!

I want to try something new.

Please make a comment to this thread with a DEV post that you think deserves to be read more broadly. If it's your own post that's fine.

It could be recent, or it could be classic.

And then read through the thread and ❤️ posts where you like. I'm hoping that the wisdom of the crowds can help unearth some great content every day.

The feed already works this way, but I think this could be a fun way to complement the feed for a different kind of discovery.

Use the post's link liquid tag to display it fully, i.e.:

{% link https://dev.to/devteam/for-empowering-community-2k6h %}

And feel free to add why you want to want to give it more love.

Don't worry about whether you've picked the best post, let the readers decide if it should rise to the top.

Savvas Stephanides has some great posts on how to fix particular accessibility mistakes that have helped make me more conscious of how I can improve.

This post which I recently wrote down is a special one for me because I:

• achieved something which is not already available
• got to know that D3.js is just awesome if you wanna customize something for your own need

Though this post didn't receive the traction, I feel one doesn't write here for recognitions but to help grow the community 😇

Remembering which method to use on a Javascript array was difficult when I was learning. This post really helped me to remember the methods, what they do, what they return, etc and the visuals are a big part of that.
