Dev Share

A building block you don't see very often, but has huge potential in building a community is a developer share section of your community.

A Dev Share section of your API provides a kind of flea market for your developers to share ideas, code snippets, and other tools with their community.

This is definitely an excellent example of tools you can provide that allow developers to engage with each others and build community around your API.

Dev Share is not a building block for all API communities, but can definitely encourage innovation amongst your API developers.
