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
- Check that your resource is highly related to programming or development and is not already listed on Dev Resources.
- Open the Dev Resources GitHub repository and read the contribution rules before editing.
- Add your resource to the correct alphabetical TypeScript file under the repository’s
resourcesfolder. The entry needs aname,description,categories,url, and optionalkeywords.
- Keep the resource in alphabetical order, use an accepted category, and make sure the URL starts with
https://orhttp://. - Run the repository’s formatting or checks if you can, then open a pull request and complete the checklist.
- After approval and publication, confirm the public resource page links to the correct canonical URL.
Example: the VeilStrat page on Dev Resources 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.
Provider overview
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.
Minimum requirements to get a backlink from Dev Resources
- GitHub account
- Submit a real developer-focused website, tool, API, template, course, or resource that belongs in the directory
- Prepare the resource's name, clear description, category, canonical URL, and any useful search keywords
- Ability to edit TypeScript files and open a pull request
Key challenges to get a backlink from Dev Resources
Dev Resources is moderated through its GitHub repository, so a backlink requires a real developer-focused resource, a correctly formatted TypeScript entry, and an accepted pull request. Submissions must not be duplicates and should fit one of the site's resource categories. The public resource page links out to the submitted URL, but low-quality or promotional-only entries can be rejected during review.
