I always dreamed to own a startup wherein I have a product that's worth a many and would love to engage people to provide the best outcomes possible. Besides this, I used to learn how a platform is built from scratch and the efforts put in place to bring such a huge webapp besides resolving issues that are hosted in the internet. So, on seeing an app like dev.to, the similar kinda thought arised. Just to diacuss the way the platform has build up and the challenges that has been faced to put forth would give a bright idea for young minds to articulate things. Thanks!!
