🌏 I made my website with Gatsby!

Even though I've been a web developer for more than 6 years, I bought a domain name for my website only in 2018. And just now I finished my website...

Why make Dev your source and publish to your blog vs the blog the source and have Dev fetch the RSS? Would one direction be better for your blog/website SEO over the other?

I didn't know there is a way to publish dev.to articles via RSS. I'll do it in the next release. Thank you. And I don't know what will be the impact on SEO.

RSS doesn’t auto publish. It saves it as a draft for you to make any final tweaks / tagging / etc. you have to publish it manually.

Ok. but is there will be any issue with my current setup? SEO based.

I think it depends on which side the canonical links are on. You’ll want your blog to be the canonical source so search engines credit your site as the source and not Dev.to

Right now, what I'm doing is, using my website's blog link as canonical for dev.to article. Is that ok?

Pretty nice.

In terms of UX I'll focus on this (specially for navigation):
dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/...

And in home page, the scroll doesn't do anything, but you have an arrow that is calling to go down, it may be confuse.

UI is really nice. Anyway... great site! Congrats, bro!

I havn't updated my website for a long time. I'm working on integrating sanity.io. Most probably ill upgrade the dependencies as well. I'll post an update once its done.
