Write for the Community program: learn, grow, connect.

At Strapi, we believe in the power of collaboration, learning, and sharing knowledge. That's why we're launching the new version of the Write for the Community program, with a sharp focus on Community.

Why a new version for the program?

We currently have a 'Write For the Community' program, where developers can be compensated for the content they create. This program has allowed us to connect with several talented and passionate community members and writers. However, to be transparent, the mixed format of having a community-driven program that proposes compensation has also brought us some challenges. Increasingly, we noticed that we were attracting individuals primarily seeking paid writing opportunities, often lacking Strapi knowledge. As a result, the quality of the submissions deteriorated.

This situation diverted us from our original goal: writing with and for you.

We will continue to collaborate with some of the authors we had the pleasure of meeting during the program to address specific content needs. Nevertheless, our primary focus will be on the Strapi Community: assisting you in your growth and enabling you to share your expertise on topics you are passionate about, while connecting with other developers.

What is Community Content?

At Strapi, community content holds a special place in our hearts. As an open-source company, we understand the power of collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Strapi is not just a company; it's a community-driven platform, built with and for its users. With a vibrant community comprising thousands of developers, we believe in harnessing the collective wisdom and experiences of the Strapi Community members.

Community content matters because it's a reflection of our commitment to empowering developers and enabling them to showcase their expertise. It's a testament to the strength of the Strapi Community and the wealth of knowledge that resides within it.

By offering developers the opportunity to contribute to our blog, we aim to foster learning, creativity, and innovation, making Strapi a true hub for developers to connect, learn, and grow together. Your insights, ideas, and experiences are what we value the most, and we want the Strapi Community to enjoy them as much as we do.
