I Built DevSheets.io - A Modern Cheat Sheet Site for Developers (And Why We Still Need Them)

Brad Traversy on October 13, 2025

We've all been there. You're deep in a coding session, need to remember that one Git command, or the syntax for a CSS flexbox property. You Google ...

Read the title, didn't read the article, and clicked the link.

It wasn't what I was expecting; I had expected some A4-sized sheet(s) with keyboard shortcuts.

Instead, there are loads of things. Had a really good browse around and found it great, both as a tool for myself, maybe to browse whilst having a coffee and myabe pick up some new things, but also as something I can link to when a developer asks me to explain something but I don't have the time.

Really good stuff! 👍🏼

One small suggestion. Please make the table of contents left sidebar of every cheat sheet independently scrollable. When I was browsing through the react cheat sheet, it only scrolled till Forms & Controlled Components > post which I had to drag the scrollbar all the way down to the end of the page to make the table of contents scroll further.

I am using Safari on Mac 14" screen.

Great website, however why say this

It does not cost a dime and there are not even any advertisements.

, when in your contact page it says

We offer targeted advertising opportunities to reach developers. Contact us with "Advertising" in the subject line to discuss options.

ads everywhere

Huh? Doesn't every developer use an ad blocker? I understand why regular folks might not know about them, but seriously, if you're not using an ad blocker, why in the world not?

Hello,
Thank you for creating this and making it free.

I know they're reference sheets, but I need more introductory context.

Perhaps it's outside of your vision of the project, but then it could include links to places that do supply the info. Perhaps add a paragraph or two at the top (or a link to a page for those of us who need it) explaining the purpose of the tool and what it's best at. Links to an introduction to the project, tutorials for those of us who want to learn how to use it as a newbie or how to use it better as someone more experienced, perhaps good instructional videos, would be useful.

Another thing that might be instructive is to include links to open source github projects that use the tool in an exemplary and/or instructive way. Could you include links to up-to-date technical docs on each tool (or suggest using Context 7)? That way, if I don't know how to implement something on the cheat sheet, or even if doing so would be an efficient or effective way to use the tool, I could learn more.

Thanks again

I was going to say "No Java" and already expecting to see "send a PR!" but the repository is not available anywhere.

Bookmarked it. Checked several items on react. I think it is nice and informative. Thanks for sharing.
Maybe you may want to add something about bundlers, tooling, especially vite.

Cheat sheets are handy, but leaning on them too much can stop developers from diving into the docs and building a deeper understanding. It is sometimes better to struggle through the details.
