# daily.dev

> daily.dev is the developer community where millions of engineers come to discover what is next. Personalized news feed, dev communities, mobile and desktop apps, and a browser extension that turns every new tab into a curated feed of developer news.

Site: https://daily.dev

Marketing, blog, and AI Handbook links below also work as LLM-friendly markdown via `.md` URLs. For rendered HTML, omit `.md`. App pages (posts, squads, sources, tags) are HTML only, except the markdown directory endpoints listed under "The app".
