I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
Basically, I think it'd be cool if we could get a group together to cover current news that's appropriate for devs. Once we build out our group, we can connect in a channel over Connect 😅 and strategize what sort of things we want to cover and what a DEV post might look like. We can also coordinate by messaging each other in this channel if we plan on covering something — this way we'll know not to double up on the same news topic.
This idea is still quite new, so will need a bit of brainstorming. But, if you're up for writing short news posts, this tag should be a great fit!
I'm curious about the kind of news posts we're talking about here. Will they be news that interest almost all devs? Or would there be a way to filter through them using tags somehow?

That's right — it's somewhat subjective, but we're looking for news posts that are going to be particularly interesting to devs. The subjects could be more high-level general tech news — e.g. high profile Twitter accounts were hacked. But it's also cool to get more narrowly-focused, dev-specific news on version upgrades, upcoming features, or security patches for specific languages, frameworks, dev tools, etc.
If you check out the #news landing page and look to the left hand sidebar, you'll see submission guidelines that offer more detail about what we're typically looking for and what isn't a fit. That said, this isn't set in stone, we very well may revamp some of our guidelines once we get the news team together.
I love the idea of having some way to filter #news. I think it'd be cool for folks to be able to browse by tag combos — like maybe I want to search for any posts that are tagged #news and #react. Is this kind of what you're thinking?
Yeah tag combos is a good way of putting it. But does dev.to support such feature? When clicking on a tag the url structure doesn't seem like it would allow for mixing multiple tags.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Let me see if I can help out with that!
