What was your first post?

Yuri Alves on November 28, 2020

Hey, I made a little simple web app, that gets your first ever post on Dev.to.
I will still be working on the web app to add more feature and hopefully allow other sites.
https://firstdev.netlify.app/
What do you think?
What would you like added?

Hey, thanks for sharing! I think a great next step would be to make the site more accessible. Some things you could do:

  • Make the search a form, and button type submit which should enable hitting enter to submit
  • Make the title a heading component
  • Give the link a more "interactive" appearance, to replace the "Click me to view the post"

Additionally, it looks like there's no way to return to the search, so adding that would be a great next step.

Rails 5 was going to be released shortly. I figured if I emailed up DHH and asked him some good questions he might share the article once it was published. How else is anybody going to come visit DEV before there's content? 😅

It’s crazy to think the journey that DEV has come.

Not a criticism, just a comment: my first post on dev was cross posted from my blog and that’s where the result takes me. Is that intended behaviour?

I get exactly why it would work that way, but thought I’d ask the question! 🙂

Well ideally it should take you to your dev post. However, if your post is linked to another site then yes
