How are Articles formed?​

When our search engine detects a post that is an article, it’s automatically grouped into one post/card, with a brief summary of the article (called TLDR: Too Long Didn't Read).

What can you do with Articles?​

You can like, comment, upvote, and share the articles with your friends, (for example in a squad or on social media) and you can also read the original article by clicking on the card.

Ah and you can also save the article to read it later, by clicking on the bookmark icon.

What if I don't like an article, or I think it's inappropriate?​

If you don't like an article, you can downvote it, and it will be removed from your feed. You can also report it if you think it's inappropriate.

Squads posts​

What is a Squad?​

A Squad is a group where you and other developers can come together to learn and interact on topics that matter to you. You can think of Squads like any other online group but geared specifically towards developers.

On Squads, you can share knowledge, ask questions, and engage in discussions, all within a private group of your peers.

How are Collections formed?​

When our content engine detects two or more posts that talk about the same topic, they’re automatically grouped into one post/card, with a brief summary of the topic.

Collections take all the news that has come out on the same topic from multiple sources and creates a concise, complete summary of what’s going on. As new articles come out, the Collection is updated so that it gives you the latest overview of everything you need to know.

  • If you want to read more, Collections display the sources they’re based on, so that you can read the original.

  • You can subscribe to a collection for a notification every time it’s updated so that you always know the latest!
