## Dev Resources

Dev Resources is a curated, community-maintained directory of programming, design, API, hosting, productivity, and developer-tool resources. Accepted submissions get a public resource detail page that can point to the submitted project's canonical URL, making it useful for legitimate developer products and educational resources that fit the directory.

Dev Resources works as a backlink source when your site is a genuine resource for developers. The backlink comes from an accepted public resource page that stores your submitted `url` and links visitors to that website.

## Steps

1. Check that your resource is highly related to programming or development and is not already listed on [Dev Resources](https://devresourc.es/).
2. Open the [Dev Resources GitHub repository](https://github.com/marcelscruz/dev-resources) and read the contribution rules before editing.
3. Add your resource to the correct alphabetical TypeScript file under the repository's `resources` folder. The entry needs a `name`, `description`, `categories`, `url`, and optional `keywords`.

4. Keep the resource in alphabetical order, use an accepted category, and make sure the URL starts with `https://` or `http://`.
5. Run the repository's formatting or checks if you can, then open a pull request and complete the checklist.
6. After approval and publication, confirm the public resource page links to the correct canonical URL.

Example: the [VeilStrat page on Dev Resources](https://devresourc.es/resource/veilstrat/bd4568c7-aed8-4dc8-bae7-71dbf7a686d6) stores `https://veilstrat.com` as the resource URL and the rendered page includes an ordinary external link with `rel="noopener"` rather than `nofollow`.

Use this only for resources that genuinely help developers. A thin landing page submitted only for SEO is unlikely to pass review and would not be a durable citation.
