Similar to a forum site like Reddit, Daily.dev even allows you to comment, upvote, downvote and interact with fellow users of the platform on the posts/content that you are currently interacting with. Daily.dev markets itself as a platform where you can grow in your knowledge as a developer along with the rest of the developer commmunity.
Devs together, STRONG!
Squads on Daily.dev allow you to create discussion forums with fellow developers in the community, discussing changelogs, new projects, or upcoming developments within circles of the Software Engineering world. Daily.dev allows you to gain Reputation points that show people how dedicated you are to spending time enriching the platform with your discourse.
