An article published under your name is public evidence of what you work on. Each article carries its own visibility switch, so you decide one by one what appears on your profile.

Connect Dev.to

1

Open the Connections panel

Go to your profile and add your Dev.to username.
2

Let Dapping check the account

Dapping confirms the account is yours by checking that your public Dev.to profile lists a GitHub or X account you have already connected here. No password is involved, and nothing is posted on your behalf.

Fix a failed check

Add one of those accounts to your public Dev.to profile and try again.

What appears, and when

Your public Dev.to articles are collected automatically and refreshed on a schedule, so a new article can take a little while to appear. Each article shows its title, tags, and publication date, and links to the original. People browsing builders also see a Writing chip on your card when you have visible articles. Every article has its own visibility switch, so you can keep a piece out of your profile without deleting it anywhere. Disconnecting the Dev.to account removes your visible articles and stops new ones from arriving.

The same connection also feeds Advocates boards

Your Writing view keeps every article you connect, whether or not you are on any board. An Advocates board reads the same account but counts only articles tagged with a term that board tracks, over a short recent window, and only for that company. The per-article visibility switch controls your profile. It does not control what a board counts.

What it does and does not prove

Published work shows what you write about and how consistently you write. It is displayed evidence rather than verification, so an article carries no verified badge and does not change your Karma. Readers weigh it the way they weigh any public writing.

If an article is missing

Check three things: the article is public on Dev.to, your connection is still active in the Connections panel, and enough time has passed for a refresh. If all three hold and the article still does not appear, report it through the feedback portal with the article link.
