Hey Eyad,

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.
