Site is good , just make it mobile responsive for mobile devices

Love the simple design and great idea.
Looking forward to checking the repo

I just came across the Dev Encyclopedia, and it looks like a fantastic addition to our developer toolkit! If you’ve ever struggled with understanding tech terms or concepts, this resource is a game-changer.

What’s Great About It:

• Clear Definitions: Breaks down complex terms into simple explanations.
• Practical Samples: Provides examples to help clarify concepts.
• Open Source: Ad-free and created with the developer community in mind.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, this tool is invaluable for demystifying tech jargon. Dive in and explore it here: Dev Encyclopedia on Product Hunt.

Want to Contribute? Check out their GitHub repository to add new terms or help improve the content.

Let’s support this project and make tech knowledge accessible to everyone. Upvote and share if you find it useful!

Nice. Simple is great! Simple but powerful is a motto of mine :)

What are the next step of actions that we are looking forward in this project?. I would like to contribute.

Muy, pero muy bueno. Muchas gracias por compartir

Is there a particular reason for putting everything in the index.html file?

really cool!!! Love the idea! I've bookmarked the site, and will try to contribute!

Really cool project, love it

Thank you so much! I believe this will be incredibly useful for all developers, as it addresses a common aspect of their daily work. This is very much appreciated!

Very nice initiative 🙏

wow!

Nice Idea, just the layout looks a bit outdated. Is there really any need to use hundreds of large "Explain" buttons? The content boxes look like buttons, so it is evident that you can click on the box to get more information. Or use a mouse over effect to show the explanation and a click leads to further content.

A good layout will make this clear without any explanation. You do not neet to mark every button with a "click here", as the form already suggests that you can click a button. And users already have an expectation how a button works.

I like this! I also love the simplicity/clean look of it.

Hello, our team in Iran is working on the field of digital currencies and on a project that is my idea. One of my ideas is Crypto Card to produce bank cards and use it to buy anything I want compared to the fluctuation of the market. has it. You receive our notification and you buy on our website or software, and the ribbons inside the card that you have in your hand will give you a significant profit compared to the products from fluctuation, because it will remain in your card in the form of crypto and will be absorbed. High capital for global ecosystem development site Our team has many ecosystem ideas and needs to attract capital.

love this

It will be great but there is needed a lot of effort to make like Wikipedia. I can write articles with resources, I have a huge archive. I have around 200+ books for computer science. But there is need for markdown support. Every article needs a template like in Wikipedia. I love the project, I hope we can make it.

It'd be a good idea to buy a domain name for it, like encyclopedia.dev, it looks more professional and is probably easier to remember

I had gone through the website, It was highly appreciated work bro. I did visited the github too. It would have been much more simpler if the data is stored in a database with a backend. Currently each values are hardcoded right. But I must appreciate you for doing this much of work to make our developing journey smoother👏

This is awesome.

Promise?

i'm very happy with the Dev Encyclopedia, and I feel like it is one of the most helpful additions to a beginners toolkit due to its simplicity and focus. surprised this hadn't come along sooner!

Cool website 👍🏻

Wow, love it. 👏

Cool!

It's cool!

You never know how useful is something till you test it out. This looks like a magic resource. I think this will be the first open source project in which I will contribute. 👍
@buzzpy Thanks a lot for your efforts.

Why does the short description for "API" end with: ". For 12 year olds" lol?

I love this idea but I would say keep the humor to a minimum

I totally love it I hope Developer Wikipedia to grow more in coming days the project initiated really appreciative I wish every domain expertise related to Computer Science contribute to this project and make it treasure for every developer

Just found this. I already love it!

Love the design! Can't wait to make some contributions.

@buzzpy, when (exact date) did you launch this? Happy to feature the project on @frontenddogma (that is, on frontenddogma.com).

On another note, under the Frontend Dogma umbrella I also run WebGlossary.info. The project is growing steadily, and I think the glossary will hit 4,000 web dev terms by next year.

Mentioning not to sway the work on this (overlap ≠ identity), but in case that could be of interest also for other developers here, who look for reference sites.

Good luck and much success with the encyclopedia!

Hi! I would suggest to store each topic in a separate markdown file. And then have a build script that iterates over all markdown files and converts it into html.

For example content/code-smell/code-smell.md, content/code-smell/code-smell-illustration-1.png

---
title: "Code smell"
---

content goes here

...

![](code-smell-illustration-1.png)

This way it will be easy to contribute to separate content without conflicts and easy to iterate html design without having to modify the content.

If you unsure how to do it but like the idea let me know, I could create a pr.

Hi !
I really like what you have done it's a wonderful idea. I hope it spreads well in the community, new devs could really use this.
Just wanted to add a perspective : I think your website would really benefit from a JS framework. Thing is, you have so much data and you need to copy/paste the template every time you wan to add another card.
Worse, if one day you decide to change the layout, you would need to update every card one by one (!!).

I made a fork of how the project looks like with Vite using React. If you want to add data, you just have to add to the data.json file. If one day you decide to segment into categories it will be easier too.

I have not done the modal and there are a few things missing, but since this is only a proof of concept and not a final thing, I decided to stop at that :)

If you want to check it out : github.com/404mat/Dev-Encyclopedia...

Cheers !

I kinda want to contribute to this project as a frontend. Do you need one?

You could add some RSS to it to make it possible to make users see when a new item is added. I have one on my website chesedgames.online

Is it a tool for people who don't know how to use Wikipedia? Or, you know, Google?

Also, if you can't ask questions at your workplace, maybe don't work there 😕

This is a very nice web page.
This is a web page, not an app.
Only once you can add a new "article" (a user can post new content) does it become an app.
When I examined the github repo, I was boggled to see that all of the data is in the script.js file.
So, this is a static web page.

Let me know if you convert it to a web app. It will be really cool when you do that.

I'm actually stunned at how large your index.htm file is.

It's just a listing like the following via copy / paste for each individual term:

`<div class="card">
  <div class="card-title">Chaos Engineering</div>
  <div class="card-subtext">Practice of testing systems to withstand turbulent conditions</div>
  <button class="explain-button" onclick="showModal('chaosEngineering')">Explain</button>
</div>

<div class="card">
  <div class="card-title">Reactive Programming</div>
  <div class="card-subtext">Handling data streams and changes in real time</div>
  <button class="explain-button" onclick="showModal('reactiveProgramming')">Explain</button>
</div>

It's shocking, because no dev is ever going to type all of that in one time, because it is static.
This needs to be moved to a sqlite database so you can add new items quickly.
Would be a perfect React project.

@buzzpy are you interested in improving your existing Dev Encyclopedia by building it upon an existing Frontend framework? I'd be eager to help you on this. I'll leave comments in your github project

It is fantastic.
Congratulations.

Good UI and Bad UX.!
Well done for UI 👏

Thanks for thinking about the little guys around! I am one of those. Happily learning MERN stack yet flummoxed by the jargon some experienced folk use on the DEV platform 😅

Your altruistic purpose to build the app is even more impressive! Following you and this project right now! Thanks for making learning even more enjoyable! 😄

Just a thought - Would it be possible to make this a PWA ?

aren't most theorems cap theorems
