Their guides are indispensable for my occasional dabbling.
Just saved flexbox and grid guides using the SingleFile extension, something I discovered a couple of weeks ago here on HN. HN warns and provides solutions.
I bet it is in the millions. I help manage some sites which have CSS tutorials on them, and even if the article is about something like "How to use the CSS counter() property" - if you have the words "center" and "div" mentioned in the article, Google Search Console will report impressions for that article with keywords like "how to center a div". Funny!
As others have said in other threads, I don't think you have much to worry about.
DO seems to value quality over quantity for documentation. Documentation appears to be their 'doing well by doing good' strategy. What BackBlaze is to hard drive reviews, DO is to a subset of platform agnostic cloud technologies. I don't know what they do now, but at one point a couple years ago they were soliciting 'paid' articles, but rather than paying you directly they would make a donation to an organization on their list on your behalf.
If I were telling an intern where to look for technical knowledge on the internet, my advice would be something like this: start at their website (mostly for due diligence, since 4/5 times you won't find what you want there), Stack Overflow, Google, Digital Ocean, and then look for either books by the authors (if you're a bookish sort), or find conversations with the authors on the internet.
Though now Google is falling fast. I'm on the cusp of demoting it below DO. I feel that camel straining under the weight on its back. SEO is turning into Search Engine Sabotage lately.
If DO starts buying up knowledge bases that could flip for positive reasons instead of negative ones.
Their Flexbox and Grid guides are the best. I've been using both since pretty much the start and I still look up syntax from them at least once a week.
No!!!! Please don't!! My muscle memory would go totally out of whack if this happened. You can continue to use reader view and enjoy your muscle memory workflow, but don't go changing mine. Parent info on the left, child info on the right.
Also, requesting your non-flexbox layout for your documents on how to do flexbox seems rather ironic.
Their flexbox article kind of ended my (hobbyist) interest in front end styling. I just turn everything into flexboxes and everything behaves just like I want it to. And yes I do visit it every time I do front end styling.
