How we approach content
Our aim is practical: an article should answer the question that brought you here, using information that can be checked, laid out plainly and without padding.
Our process
- Establish real demand. We look at what people actually search for before deciding to publish, rather than guessing.
- Gather and cross-check. Where a fact is verifiable, such as a Unicode code point, a platform rule or a sequence of steps in an app, we check it against the primary source before it goes into an article.
- Test in practice. Symbol tables and generator output are pasted and viewed on several common devices and platforms to confirm they render correctly.
- Edit. We review spelling, structure and terminology, and cut anything that repeats what the page already said.
- Review over time. Articles that depend on platform rules or app versions are revisited when something meaningful changes.
What we avoid
- Republishing another site content verbatim.
- Publishing a page purely to fill a gap when it adds nothing for the reader.
- Making promises the tools or the information on this site cannot support.
Use of assistive tools
We use software assistance during drafting and proofreading. Every article is read, edited and signed off by a human editor before it is published. Assistive tools do not replace the verification step.
Reporting a problem
If you find something inaccurate or out of date, contact us with the page link. We check every report that comes with specifics and correct the page when the report holds up.
