You raised the best question here:

  1. I think there are bugs and issues with dev. At non-logged landing page, i read very interesting articles, then i tried to bookmark or save; after logging pop-up window, then the article(and list of artiles disappeared), and Dev will feed you the page with your choice of contents(html, css, c++, ai,etc); and i tried to tap back to the article i wanted to bookmark on non-logged landing page; the problem is i tapped and it ASKED ME TO LOG IN AGAIN. I tried to search the article, the search function is very bad even if i key in exact title.

I mentioned to the github in dev. I don’t think they have fixed it. This problem is also the same as gab.com

  1. Algorithm: i think social media platform has made the popular author(s) or frequent writing author to be in more popular. It will lead to social media platform to be very monotonous and only same group of authors’ articles to be seen. In other words, newcomers or authors who post very intriguing and fun topics once in while become very omissable. This has to be changed.

  2. The reason i chose Dev over other communities as i like about developers’ sharing about their developer life journey. Like how they become developers, overcome obstacles, learning journey and what they would like to achieve.
