# Slack Platform Developer Hub

> slack.dev is the official developer portal for the Slack Platform. It serves as the primary destination for developers building on Slack — covering tools, SDKs, learning resources, community, and editorial content. slack.dev is part of the broader Slack developer ecosystem, which also includes docs.slack.dev (canonical technical documentation), and the Slack App Marketplace.

## Home

- [Slack Developers Home](https://slack.dev): Portal entry point; highlights what's new and trending on the platform, the latest developer newsletter issues, platform positioning, tools overview, and community CTA. Features a curated collection of links organized around common developer journeys (e.g., building your first app, publishing to the Marketplace, adopting AI/agentic capabilities). Also includes a developer newsletter signup and surfaces how slack.dev fits within the broader Slack ecosystem — alongside docs.slack.dev, api.slack.com, and the App Marketplace.
