   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   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.

   🏁 Competitors: Medium

   👍 Pros:    Free

   👎 Cons:    Social justice|Basic features|Quality of content

   A Visual Wonderland for Inspiration and Creativity

   Pinterest is a treasure trove of ideas that never fails to spark my imagination. The user interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making navigation a breeze. I love how easy it is to create and organize boards, helping me keep my ideas neatly categorized. Whether I'm planning a home makeover or searching for recipes, Pinterest's search functionality always delivers relevant and inspiring results.The app's performance is impressive, with smooth scrolling and quick load times, ensuring a seamless browsing experience. The suggested pins and personalized recommendations are often spot-on, introducing me to new ideas and concepts that I may not have discovered otherwise.

   👍 Pros:    Community engagement

   👎 Cons:    Limited textual content

• Punishing myself

  I know, real original 🙄, but I had to as this is my inaugural post on Dev.to! I've been toying with the idea of writing a blog for some time now, and figured since I'm starting a new project, this is the best time for it. I've been somewhat familiar with React.js for a while now and wanted to make the jump over to React Native to capitalize on an idea I've had for a few years. I'll be blogging about the progress... - Source: dev.to / 7 days ago

• D&D 5e Google Slides Character Sheet

  - If you ever struggle to find good art for your D&D character, go to websites like artstation.com and pinterest.com and just type in core aspects of your character for good inspiration. Like if you type "Tiefling Artificer" into artstation's search bar, you'll find a ton of great art for your character. Obviously if you make any content with someone else's character art, ask for permission and credit them though. Source: 6 months ago

  Be careful. A new phishing website has been created, it is a copy of https://pinterest.com. Source: 11 months ago

• How to stop redirects (ex .com to .dk)

  When I type in certain websites with .com ending, I get redirected to the .dk ending, which is my country's domain ending. I, however, want to stay on the .com website. It is annoying as for example pinterest.dk is down for me, but pinterest.com, pinterest.es etc is working fine. How do I fix that? Source: about 1 year ago

• How do I hide my search history from my parents?

  Say, you google that thing you're interested in. If you navigate to "images.google.com" he can see that, but not the thumbnails below. However, HOWEVER, those thumbnails are served up by another website, not google, google is just wrapping it into their results page. So say that little thumbnail is coming from "pinterest.com", your dad can see that as a source for "something, at some point, in my sons history".... Source: over 1 year ago
