TechDug

Invite-only technical publishing

Dig into the details. Write them down properly.

TechDug is a publishing platform for tutorials, how-tos and deep dives: the posts that show every step, the exact command and the reason it works. Clean code blocks, numbered sections and a blog of your own.

  • Invite-only authors
  • Free to read
  • RSS for every blog

What you get

Made for writing that explains how things work.

  1. Code that keeps its shape

    Monospaced blocks on a dark panel, original indentation, sideways scrolling for long lines and a copy button when JavaScript is on.

  2. Steps you can follow

    The main sections of every post are numbered, and long posts get a table of contents that jumps straight to each step.

  3. A blog per author

    Each author writes at their own address with a profile, a start-here introduction, categories and a full post list.

  4. Feeds and reviewed replies

    An RSS feed for every author and for the whole site. Readers comment with just a name, and a moderator reads each reply first.

For readers

Pages that respect the code.

Reading on TechDug is free and needs no account. Posts use one calm column for prose, a dark panel for code and numbered sections you can jump between, so a twenty-step guide stays easy to follow.

  • Inline code, keyboard keys and tables styled for technical text
  • Vietnamese and other accented text rendered correctly everywhere
  • Server-rendered HTML that loads fast and reads well on a phone
  • No ads, no analytics, no tracking pixels, no reader cookies
