Dev encyclopedia is a simple, easy-to-use, and ad-free website that simplifies technical terms, concepts, jargon, and whatnot. It has a simple UI, covers various fields like UI/UX, Backend Development, AI/ML, and more, with 420+ simplified terms.

It is fueled by contributions and donations (and coffee, of course).
