The XOJO Blog is a true gem, free for the taking. Every month and every year, they publish high-quality content for all of us, covering useful and friendly topics. Within it, we can draw insights from those who know more than we do. There are top-tier developers who often give us advice, opinions, and more. Behind the scenes of this blog, there are people who constantly publish code, news, events, curiosities, and more with great devotion.
I think the XOJO Blog is one of the best out there when it comes to code and beyond. My opinion is that if you believe in something, everything comes true: I believe in XOJO.
What do you think of the XOJO Blog? Have you found inspiration in the content and advice from expert developers?

Its like every other company blog, skewed towards only positive branding of the product. Not so much a gem, but a necessity for marketing Xojo as a product.
For me, the forum is the gem

In the beginning I found some hints in the blogs and discovered that many articles are not up2date anymore…
People here is what keeps Xojo running

If a blog sticks to generalities and to articles perhaps from developers, that’s one thing - because the articles or the entire blog could be removed without affectng much. It’s when the blog becomes an adjunct to the documentation that care needs to be taken. Then the best articles should be modified to be documentation-quality with a promise that they won’t be removed, or moved to the documentation area as notes, examples of usage, and so on. Or, simply marked as user contributions and left in the blog. The PHP docs have this and I found it helpful from time to time; their user-contributions are attached to each documentation page.
The most useful blog articles should have links to them from documentation pages that they can enhance.

I might hope that the more content that is “out there” the more content is available to the various “AI’s” to digest and then be queried. Indeed, Xojo’s own considered (Xojo.AI.Help) might be able to benefit from as many sources of Xojo code/content as possible.

Sometimes when I ask ChatGPT some question about Xojo, I see the Xojo Blog being credited as a source. Of course, I also see the Xojo Forum being credited for other things.
