100% Developer Community-Driven Social Platform
Filling the gap in developer-centric vertical social platforms. Where your contributions become voting power, algorithms serve developers instead of shareholders, and every share is a contribution to our collective future.
🤝
Developer Communication & Collaboration
While GitHub handles code and Stack Overflow answers questions, GistFans fills the gap as the first developer-centric vertical social platform where developers truly connect, collaborate, and collectively create their ideal community.
🌐 How GistFans Works
📚
Experience Sharing
Share your development stories, technical insights, and lessons learned. From architecture decisions to debugging adventures.
Beyond tutorials: Real developer experiences, challenges, and the human side of coding.
🤝
Developer Networking
Find developers with complementary skills, similar interests, or working on related challenges. Connect for projects, mentorship, or learning.
Smart connections: Move from networking to actual collaboration on GitHub and other platforms.
⭐
Community Governance
Earn Stars through contributions, then use them to vote on platform features, policies, and development priorities.
Your platform: The first developer platform where users truly control its evolution.
🏛️ Community-Driven Development at Its Core
Where developers collectively create their ideal community
No corporate overlords. No hidden algorithms. No top-down decisions. User-driven community development, where the community serves developers.
