The Future of...
Future is part of the core app behind DEV. Your DEV account will securely log you into Future, as well as any other subforems we create. Because Forem is open source, other self-hosted Forems can also use this subforem functionality — though we’re not prioritizing support self-hosting right now due to limited bandwidth. We hope to be more able to support this later this year.

DEV Search: 20x Latency Reduction By Layering Algolia On Top of Postgres
At DEV, our commitment to open-source development drives our decision-making process, especially regarding the tools and technologies we use. Our platform, which we open source as Forem, reflects this ethos. Forem is an open-source Rails application designed to foster community and content sharing. As a backstop for this approach, the base search is implemented in Postgres to serve small and straightforward use cases. However, to serve a high-traffic global network, it is not an entirely sufficient experience.

In the future, I think we will probs make this uniform with the others. I've logged this request here on GitHub... hmmm, maybe I should embed it here instead. 😉

I fixed the "Save draft" Button on dev.to - No Accidental Publishing Anymore 😇
I even opened a discussion, which got no responses so far (which I think existed somewhere else or I am the only one with this issue...).
