Where to post development tips / blog?
I've made two JS/TS/Vue/Nuxt/Firebase/PWA apps (Phojo and Shared Game Timer) and during this time, I believe I've solved a number of problems, solutions I would like to write up and share with others as a way to repay the many great articles I've found that have helped me along the way.
So, what is the best way to do so? I can always post it on a site i own. I like the idea of controlling/ owning my writing. But no one will find it.
I could do Medium? It seems to be the big thing right now? Or is it GitHub? But I really don't know the pros/cons of different options.
So that is my question to you all. Where should I do my writing, and how do I share it so that the people can find it?
Trending on Indie Hackers
Try hashnode.com
It's built around a community of devs. Could be easier to get some distribution.
Interesting. I guess technically the text is stored on hadhnode's servers, but they send backups to github? And you could break the CNAME link and set up somewhere else if you wanted to...
And you could then cross post to other platforms too i guess?
Yeah, articles are stored on their servers, but you can backup to github.
Not sure about the other things you mentioned.

Ah, so you are getting sort-of the best of both worlds, you post on a personal blog and then, what ? Copy and paste the text into Medium and dev.to? Or do they just take the URL of your personal blog post?
I don't think I'd post that much that I couldn't do some extra effort for each platform. I'm not intending to post often, just when I have something I believe is under-reported or where I have a unique angle to a problem/solution.

Doesn't creating copies of your articles on multiple sites affect your SEO performance due to "duplicate content" issues? Do Medium/dev.to set a canonical URL?

Gotcha, thanks
