<p>Hey daily.dev community,</p>
<p>So it’s been several weeks since we officially launched Squads, and I want to share the journey and purpose behind why we built it.</p>
<h2>The Genesis: from single-player to multiplayer</h2>
<p>Since the inception of daily.dev, our core mission has been to foster a community where developers, regardless of their skill level or background, can come together to learn, share, and grow. We’ve noticed an increasing demand for more personal and niche interactions amidst the vast ocean of global discussions.</p>
<p>While global communities are great, we believe there’s something magical about having <a href="https://app.daily.dev/squads" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">dedicated spaces for specific niches and interests</a>. They allow for more focused discussions, personalized interactions, and deeper connections. It’s in these close-knit groups that most of us find our tribe, our mentors, and sometimes even friends for life.</p>
<h2>Squads as the Solution</h2>
<p>With Squads, we wanted to give every daily.dev user the power to carve out their space within the larger community. Whether you’re passionate about front-end frameworks, intrigued by AI, or just want a space to share cool tech memes with friends, Squads gives you the platform to do just that.</p>
<h2>A Safe Space to Grow</h2>
<p>At daily.dev, we understand the importance of creating a respectful and inclusive environment. Squads aren’t just about discussions, they’re about trust. That’s why we’ve integrated basic moderation tools from the outset and are committed to evolving these tools to empower every Squad admin to maintain a healthy digital space.</p>
<h2>Our Commitment Going Forward</h2>
<p>The launch of Squads is just the beginning. We’ll be iterating, refining, and expanding based on your feedback. This is your platform as much as it is ours. We’re committed to ensuring that every voice is heard, every member feels valued, and every Squad has the tools to thrive.</p>
<p>To conclude, Squads is our tribute to the diverse, passionate, and ever-evolving developer community we’ve had the privilege to serve. It embodies our belief in the power of community, the importance of individual voices, and the magic that happens when like-minded souls converge.</p>
<p>Thank you for being a part of this journey, and here’s to many more shared learning experiences on daily.dev!</p>

Why did we build daily.dev Squads?

<p>Hey I love this idea of squads. I discovered Daily Dev just yesterday and I’m loving it 🙌🏾 I’ve noticed a few things that can be improved and I’m not sure if this is the place to list them but here they are:</p>
<p>1- When I open an article on mobile (iPhone 13, Firefox) and want to go back to my feed it goes back to the top, instead of returning to my previous position in the page
2- Saving an item in my bookmarks doesn’t work, I have to do it a few times and then it’ll show in my bookmarks
3- Two of the articles I found have showed the “&amp;” string instead of an actual ampersand so it makes it a little bit hard to read</p>
<p>This is not a criticism, I love this site and I’m not sure if the code is open source, but if it is, I would love to contribute to solve these issues in case anyone else is having them</p>


<p>I like the idea about squads, but when I want to “Subscribe for updates” the button didn’t work. I tried on iPhone and iPad, Chrome and Safari.</p>
