DEV.toBower may still be of some use to maintain legacy projects that originally relied on it. However, for any new projects or updates, it's recommended to use npm, Yarn, or other modern package managers and build tools.
As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.
However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.
My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).
Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

To think that all of this happens under the hood when Iโm just trying to access YouTube to listen to my favorite music playlists to go through the day is insane! It all happens so quicklyโฆ to think that all eleven of these steps occur instantly when I was first entering a website like https://dev.to, for instance, is mind-blowing. - Source: dev.to / 1 day ago
And keep an exit. This is the argument I made about small models from a different angle: the same task that costs $14,000/month at frontier scale often costs approximately nothing on a 4B model running on your own hardware. Not for everything - for the long tail of focused, repetitive work that makes up most of what we actually automate. Knowing which of your workflows would survive a 10x price increase is cheap... - Source: dev.to / 5 days ago
P.S originally it was only daily.dev. Now it is (dev.to)[https://dev.to] as well! - Source: dev.to / 6 days ago
That is the gap Arcade.dev is purpose-built to close. Unlike a routing gateway that simply proxies requests, Arcade is a full action runtime. It's a secure execution environment for production agents with per-user authorization, vaulted credentials, structured audit logs, and hosted tool execution. It delivers a hosted catalog of over 8,000 pre-built agent-optimized MCP tools, designed for agent intent rather than... - Source: dev.to / 10 days ago
I do sort of miss bower [0] for this reason. It was really just a way to download javascript and plunk it into your application. It was standard practice to check all of your vendor dependencies into SCM. [1] Of course a good chunk of it was transformed through something like Gulp or Grunt before being added to the bower repository so you were unlikely to maintain those once checked in, but there was still quite a... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Bower: A web package manager for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, fonts, and even images. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
Bower is a package manager specifically designed for front-end web development. It can be used to manage JavaScript, CSS, and HTML packages and dependencies. It was developed by Twitter and is known for its simplicity and ease of use. However, it is worth noting that Bower is no longer actively maintained, and developers are encouraged to use other package managers like Yarn or PNPM instead. - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago
Bower dependency directory (https://bower.io/). Source: over 3 years ago
What we see, a decade ago, are that many of the "popular" libraries, frameworks, and methods, not surprisingly, have gone by the wayside, a lot that have remained in current code as difficult-to-removemodernize legacy cruft (Bower, Gulp, Grunt, Backbone, Angular 1, ...), and then we have the small minority that are still here. Some that remain have had their utility lessened/questioned by platform and language... - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago
