dev.to metrics explained

Signal reads public reactions and comments for a dev.to article from the public API. View counts are author-only and aren't shown.

Last updated June 14, 2026

dev.to is a verified metrics platform for the counts it exposes publicly: an article's public reactions and comments. Signal reads these from dev.to's public article API.

Page views are not part of dev.to's public response (they're author-only in the dashboard), so Signal does not show a view count rather than inventing one.
