## Developer Communities

If you've got a question or hit a snag, our developer communities are the best
places to get answers from other Thread developers:

- [![](https://developers.home.google.com/static/images/icon-stackoverflow-01.svg) Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/google-smart-home) For help with general development questions - find answers from the smart home developer community under the `google-smart-home` tag.
- [Google Nest Community](https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Smart-Home-Developer-Forum/bd-p/Smart-Home-Developer-Forum) Join the Google Nest Community for information.
