DEVAE vs daily.dev
DEVAE vs daily.dev: daily.dev aggregates developer news into a personalised reader; DEVAE is a social platform where developers post their own work and collaborate live.
daily.dev is a personalised developer news feed that aggregates articles from across the web into a browser extension and app. DEVAE is a social platform where the feed is made of developers' own posts and where you collaborate in live rooms with screen and terminal sharing.
The two solve different problems. daily.dev is about reading: staying current with less effort. DEVAE is about doing: posting what you shipped, getting a review, finding a collaborator. If you want the best developer reading experience, daily.dev is hard to beat. If you want a place where the content is people you can actually talk to and build with, DEVAE is the fit.
