What this means for posting in r/webdev

r/webdev has consistent global activity, with the strongest window during US business hours (14:00-22:00 UTC) when the largest cohort of working developers is most active. Tuesday-Thursday posts typically outperform Monday or Friday submissions. Late-evening US posts (after 02:00 UTC) often get a second wind from European morning traffic — this can be a useful angle for posts you want to keep alive longer.

Times above are UTC — the heatmap reflects the trailing 12 months of top posts, so it captures long-term patterns rather than this week's activity. Have questions about how this works? See the main tool page for FAQs.
