Hello Ethereum community! We last spoke on August 5 – how are you? We’re here to talk about something new we’ve shipped.
Maybe you’ve already noticed, but we have a new Developers section. For a long time, this content was a wall of links to products that might be useful when building a dapp. We’ve provided very little context and left you with a lot of connecting the dots. We thought we could do better.
Technical information about Ethereum is often fragmented, which can be a barrier for new developers trying to navigate it.
Getting to grips with Ethereum development can feel like running into a sea of Stack Exchange threads and outdated Medium articles. Or like having to wade through obscure depths while you scroll through crypto Twitter looking for something useful.
So we decided to create an updatable repository for developer content that helps you:
- Get to know Ethereum under the hood
- Experiment with code
- Understanding the dapp technology stack
And perhaps most importantly, we wanted it to be a place for community collaboration. Anyone can submit PRs to improve and maintain content. We’ve already seen a fantastic willingness from the community to jump in and help us improve the documentation, which is awesome.
In other words, we wanted to create DND for Ethereum. And use our pool of fantastic translators to help you educate globally.
We on the ethereum.org The team doesn’t have all the answers, but as a community we’re great at sharing wisdom. Now you have the place to do it.
How to get involved
As ethereum.org In general, the portal is open source and there are ways to help you, whether you are technical or not.
- Share your wisdom: we need experts to provide insights, code examples, and more.
- Submit tutorials: iIf you’ve written a tutorial to help Ethereum developers, add it to ethereum.org to expand its reach
- Review the content and PR: expert on a subject? Help us ensure our content is as accurate as possible.
- Provide feedback: any feedback on your experiences is really useful for our team. Contact us Twitter Or Discord.
- Send us your ideas: everyone can help us design the best learning experiences possible.
- Send to your friends: Do you have budding developer friends? Send ethereum.org/en/developers in their own way.
Contributors are credited wherever possible.
Okay, it’s time to take a little tour…
So what’s new?
Check out the site and let us know what you think Twitter or on our Discord. But here’s an overview of what’s new at the moment:
Ethereum Documentation This gives you the information you need to understand how Ethereum works and how to build on the web3 stack.
You can now access community tutorials and write tutorials for ethereum.org to reach a huge audience – we will translate them to increase their reach.
There are links to dapp development frameworks and others development tools to help you move from an idea to a deployed dApp. And to support the fantastic efforts of the community.
This project is largely in the MVP phase. Our priority was to distribute a basic level of documentation. In the short term, we will work on a series of improvements that:
- better categorize the projects we list and add more filtering options, to make it easier to choose the right tool.
- create more guided learning experiences, specifically for absolute beginners.
- enrich documents with useful diagrams and videos (know any that would be great on one of our pages? Open a PR!).
- get more contributors to help make the documents as useful as possible.
Many of these ideas came from usability testing we did with some amazing members and potential members of the Ethereum community – many thanks to them!.
Long term, we want to include more features that show (and tell), inject more Web3 into the portal itself, and develop incentives/rewards for contributors. If you have any ideas, we would like to receive your input.
