Technical discovery

Developer platforms and publishing

Developer platforms turn technical work into something people find through search for months. A useful post or a well-documented repository keeps working long after launch day.

How to use developer platforms and publishing

  1. Write the full tutorial or story on the platform, not just a link to your site.
  2. Show real code, real decisions and a way to try the product.
  3. Keep promotional language out; most platforms remove posts written only for backlinks.
