About Dynamo Geeks

Dynamo Geeks is built and run by Playxoft Studios Private Limited, a software company registered in Tamil Nadu, India (CIN U58203TN2025PTC178070). We started it because the best technical writing we kept reading was scattered across a dozen personal blogs, gists and forum threads, and the best technical conversations were happening in private Slack and Discord servers nobody outside could search or learn from.

Our mission is simple: give developers one place to write about what they actually built, ask and answer real questions, and talk to each other, in public where the next person with the same problem can find it, and in private (including true end-to-end encrypted chat) where that is what the conversation needs.

• Write long-form articles, or share a short update, a link, an image, a video or a poll.
• Ask a question, and accept the answer that solved it so the next person finds it first.
• Join topics, the communities built around a subject, and talk in their discussion rooms.
• Chat and send direct messages in real time, including “secret chats” that are end-to-end encrypted so even we cannot read them. See our privacy policy for how that works.
• Follow people whose work you want to see, earn reputation and badges as you contribute, and climb the leaderboard.
• Find people by country, city, time zone and language on /people, whether that is a local meetup or someone who speaks the same language as you.
• Find a role, or post one, on the jobs board, and keep up with weekly digests and events like AMAs.

Reputation and badges are earned, point by point, from what you actually contribute: questions answered, answers accepted, posts and comments other people found useful. There is no way to buy, gift or transfer reputation between accounts, and nothing on this page or on our pricing page changes it. The same goes for your rank on the leaderboard and your placement in a post's answers: those are earned signals, not inventory.

Faking it, sock-puppet accounts, vote rings, bought likes or follows, is against our guidelines and is reversed when we find it.

Each topic is run by its creator and the moderators they appoint. They set the topic's rules, keep it on subject, and decide who is let into a private topic. Private topics are invite-only, and nothing posted in one is shown to anybody outside it.

Across the whole site, the guidelines apply everywhere: spam, fake engagement, plagiarism and harassment are removed. Very short posts that nobody has replied to yet are kept out of search engines until the community engages with them.

Report a post, comment, message or account from the site itself using its report option, or tell a topic's moderators, or write to us at the address below. See reporting and what moderators do for the full process, including appeals.

The core site is free: posting, reading, chatting, joining topics and using the jobs board cost nothing, and we intend to keep it that way. We make money from a few clearly separated things instead:

• Showcase, a labelled sponsored placement for businesses: a sponsored card in a feed, and a sponsor name beside the leaderboard. Never inside a post, an answer or a ranking. See /advertise.
• Pro, an optional paid plan for writers with deeper post analytics, more profile customisation and scheduled posts.
• Recruiter, an optional paid plan that lets recruiters search members who have opted in to “open to work”, and message them in-app.
• Featured jobs, a paid pin at the top of the jobs board for a listing; posting a job at all stays free.

Full prices are on our pricing page.

What is never for sale: reputation, badges, your rank on the leaderboard, placement inside an answer or a “top” list, and removing a label like “Sponsored” or “AI-assisted”. Money can buy clearly labelled visibility next to the real content; it can never buy standing inside it.

Questions, a problem with your account, or something on the site that should not be there: email support@dynamogeeks.com.

Who owns Dynamo Geeks?

Dynamo Geeks is built and run by Playxoft Studios Private Limited, a company registered in Tamil Nadu, India (CIN U58203TN2025PTC178070).

How is Dynamo Geeks different from a general Q&A site?

It's built specifically for developers: first-hand write-ups from people who actually did the thing, real-time chat and topic discussions alongside the usual posts and questions, reputation and badges that can't be bought, and a jobs board and recruiter search aimed at the same audience.
