Auto-publish to dev.to
dev.to puts your writing in front of a developer audience you do not have to earn twice. The catch is that a copy on a high-authority domain can outrank the original — so DraftRank canonical-tags every article back to your own blog.
Canonical back to your site
Each article points at your own published copy, so search engines credit the original rather than the syndicated duplicate.
One API key
Paste a key from your DEV settings. No OAuth app, no review, nothing to install.
Updates in place
Re-publishing edits the same dev.to article instead of posting a second copy, so a draft can go live later.
Tags handled correctly
dev.to allows four lowercase tags. DraftRank picks and formats them so what publishes is what you expect.

Questions
Will syndicating to dev.to hurt my SEO?
Not when the canonical tag is set, which DraftRank does on every article. Publish to your own site first and the dev.to copy points back at it, so the original keeps the ranking.
Can I post under my company's dev.to organization?
Yes. Add the organization ID to the destination and articles publish under the organization instead of your personal profile.
