Google Unveils Site Showcasing Google-Approved Open Source Tools and Tutorials for Google-Technology Developers


Developers around the world are constantly creating open source tools and tutorials but have a hard time getting them discovered. The content published often spanned many different sites - from GitHub to Medium. Therefore we decided to create a space where we can highlight the best projects related to Google technologies in one place - introducing the Developer Library.

The platform showcases blog posts and open source tools with easy-to-use navigation. Content is categorized by product areas; Machine Learning, Flutter, Firebase, Angular, Cloud, Android, with more to come.

What makes the Developer Library unique is that each piece featured on the site is reviewed, in detail, by a team of Google experts for accuracy and relevancy, so you know when you view the content on the site it has the stamp of approval from Google.

This is the most obvious grift in the world.

1. Host opensource tools

2. Monetize the output from those tools.

they want to establish themselves as the trusted approver of open software.

and then they can slowly create their own and shift approvals in favour of their own stuff (like they do for "search").

they want to create a trusted ecosystem that is the first port of call.

then once they control a particular niche and have co-opted "approval", fees, memberships, books, training courses, not-so-free google versions, demands for "search" information etc will start to appear.

they will do what amazon does with marketplace.

it's in no ones interests to have google's fingerprint everywhere in IT.

horrible company
