I tend to use the unicorn if I learned something interesting from the post. I mean, it can be a great post, but cover stuff I'm familiar with - then I'll "heart" it.
Wow! A comment from a Fab 5'er. I feel honored that you took the time to respond Ben. 😊 Thanks for your support.
Good post, im new here with scare of write something, but i hope that this fear disapear.
Hey Reynaldo, pick a topic that you enjoy and write something about it. It doesn't have to be that long a post, just something you feel passionate about. Tell us what excites you about the topic you pick.
I look forward to reading your first post.
Thank you for this useful introduction. I would use the unicorn for a post that answer a question I have been researching for quite a long time or some piece of information that would make my coding easier and more effective. 😊
Sounds like a good use for the mysterious unicorn. Thanks for your input Nathan.
Yes, that is what I thought when I first saw it! A unicorn is sth you have been looking for long and kind of loose hope and one day it just cross your road😅
Thanks Katie for this short introduction!
As for the hearts and unicorns: I like your suggestion on using them. This will be my first guideline when starting my dev-to journey and I will see where it will lead me to.
And giving feedback is really important. Any writer can only learn from the readers feedback.
Cheers and a happy new year 2020,
Daniel
Happy New Year to you too Daniel. I look forward to seeing your first post.
Great warm introduction, unofficial DEV cheerleader Katie :)
About the unicorn, I would think it represents a "hidden gem" of a post, something that you feel you've been looking for forever or that you think would help something click for everyone. Maybe it would help a post come out of obscurity, I dunno.
On a sidenote, it's kinda hard to casually drop normal emotes in these comments with the markdown changing it, lol. I'll have to revise the markdown support on Dev.
Thanks Mugtaba
Thanks Katie for this informative intro.
Very informative! Especially about this little unicorn down here.
As I am new here, I'll tend to heart it when it is great and unicorn it when I've gained new knowledge from it.
Well, I'm starting from this great intro that helped me from commenting five times the welcoming post.
Now you can write your own post and see how many hearts and unicorns you can get!
Are you sure? It should add it. Check your reading list (you might have to refresh the page to see it). For me, under the logo on the top left, press the icon that looks like a can (database symbol). There you should find a menu with a link to your list. If you press that Reading List icon from the post again, it should remove it from your list.
Hope this helps Krsiak.
I've just been randomly clicking the unicorn for articles that I like, haha. I was curious what it was actually intended for. Thanks for the explanation, and the ideas on how to use it!
Yup, sounds like we are in sync! Thanks for your input John.
That's so nice of you Sina. Thank you for your support.
Nice intro to the community :) like you, I tend to use the unicorn when the heart just won’t quite cut it!
Another Fab 5'er! So happy you commented Dan. Thanks and Happy Holidays.
A "unicorn" is a magical rare occurrence that provides the reader joy. I think if most people saw a unicorn in real life, they'd be social media-blasting the heck out of it.
LOL! That's one way of interpreting it.
Sad part is that it would be true.
Very informative post, i don't have any idea about the unicorn emoji reaction but i felt your post deserve one 😊
Glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully it will encourage you to begin posting here.
Thanks Katie, that was helpful!
Great post! It brings courage for us to write and share knowledge.
Thank you
I'm looking forward to seeing your first post Guilherme
Hey Katie, Its really great post.
To be honest your title forces me to read your post. I really like it - "A Comment is not a Post".
Great Work.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I am just new and ready to learn. Thank you for the intro
You’re welcome.
🦄
I've never used a unicorn before so I am happy to do so today. Great post!
Thanks Juliet, that’s awesome of you!
I'm new here. And I feel more like I'm home now where I can write my own post and learn more from each other within the same interest. Thank you for sharing. 😘
We are all here for you. That’s what makes this such an awesome community.
Thanks so much for this, Katie! Such a nice intro and a warm welcome!
The only reason I didn't post my Welcome thread comment twice was because I managed to find your post first! This was useful, thanks.
Thanks Roger. Glad I could help.
Thank you for the introduction! First time for me using Dev.
