Dev.to

Dev.to is a blogging community built for technical writing. Sosial connects through the Dev.to API to publish your scheduled articles with tags, a cover image and canonical links, so the post appears in feeds and search on schedule.

#Connect Dev.to

Dev.to connects with an API key.

1. On dev.to, open Settings → Extensions and generate an API key.
2. In Sosial, open Channels → Dev.to and paste the key.
3. Select Connect.

#Limits

The composer checks these as you type, so a post that's too long for Dev.to is flagged before it's scheduled.

#What works on Dev.to

• Tutorials and deep dives
• Release notes for developer tools
• Technical opinion pieces

#Tips

#Pick four precise tags

Tags drive discovery on Dev.to. Choose the ones a developer would actually follow over broad vanity tags.

#Set the canonical URL

If the piece also lives on your blog, set the canonical link so search engines credit the original.

#Lead with the problem

Open with the bug or the goal, not the backstory. Developers skim until they find the part that helps.

#Avoid

• Tag stuffing with unrelated tags that bury the post.
• Publishing without a canonical URL and splitting SEO across two copies.
• Code samples without language hints, which render flat.
