What we look for before publishing
Send original writing only. Avoid copied, spun, or AI-dumped content without real review and ownership.
Keep the article useful: teach, explain, compare, document, or share practical experience.
Use Markdown formatting for headings, lists, code blocks, tables, and references.
Credit sources, tools, documentation, screenshots, commands, and external references clearly.
Avoid promotional writing unless the article is openly framed as a product or workflow explanation.
Do not include unsafe instructions, credential leaks, private data, or misleading claims.
