Hi everyone! I agree after a week and so reading both dev and codenewbie that they feel too similar at the moment. If the target is people just starting out, there are many good ideas in the comments below, such as different sections for different topics, a place to ask for help, and clear guidelines for writers to follow and not fall into assuming that everyone knows basic topics.
My contribution would be to propose a place to easily and quickly find the best (or at least best reviewed or most voted) articles on specific topics. This would be really important in my perspective, so the same articles are not written over and over again. Maybe also a way for people to organize the articles that they like.
There could even be a way to collaborate, so if you like an article but you feel that it is missing something, you could add it or propose it to the author, and get some kind of recognition for that (this is what a lot of us do anyway when we participate in open source projects, and it might be a good way for more people to start writing).
Really like the idea of what codenewbie is trying to achieve! Dev is amazing, but as someone starting out it definitely feels super overwhelming some of the time; not necessarily because the topics themselves might be too much to understand, but just because it is difficult to filter what could be useful and understandable vs a bunch of words that I have no idea what they mean so I don't even know if I want to invest the time to know about it.
I know that it is up to us to rise up to the challenge and learn 💪 , but there could be ways to improve the experience 🙌 Hope this is useful in any way!
