Hashnode Platform - Dev community that lets you blog on your domain for free

Hi PH 👋 I am Sandeep, co-founder of Hashnode. I am super excited to be here and share what we have been working on at Hashnode. How does Hashnode work? 👀 Hashnode helps developers start a personal blog on their own domain for free and find readership from an active dev community. We realized that traditional publishing platforms offer visibility and engagement at the cost of content ownership. On the other hand if you go with a self hosted solution, your articles don't get proper visibility and reach. Hashnode combines the best of both worlds. It lets you map a custom domain and publish articles under your own branding and also distributes them to a built in developer community. We launched in June this year and have been growing 30% in different KPIs month over month. So, it has been a crazy ride so far. 😀 Why should you care? 🤔 We believe every developer must have a personal blog and they should publish content on their own domain. There is no reason you should give away your content to other platforms and get locked in. That's why we not only help developers use their own domain, but also make it super easy to exit Hashnode. By publishing content on your own domain you grow your online presence and build your authority. You can always republish on other platforms that respect canonical URLs for extra visibility. Some of the features our users absolutely love: - Ability to map a custom domain for free 🌍 - Write articles in markdown with proper syntax highlighting ✍️ - Get automated backups of your articles on your private GitHub repo - Use GitHub as a source for your articles - Automatic HTTPS - Fast CDN ⚡️ - Quick support on our Discord server - Customize your blog with CSS - Built in newsletter service - Powerful integration with third party services (e.g. Fathom analytics, Hotjar and so on) - Support for embedding any third party widget - Web Monetization support We curated some of the reviews here: https://hashnode.com/testimonials We ship features and improve the platform every day. Do try out Hashnode. It takes a few seconds to map a domain and start building your audience. I would love to have your feedback. Feel free to add a comment here or DM me on twitter (@Sandeepg33k).

I've been using Hashnode from August, and I couldn't be happier. It's one of the best platforms for dev bloggers. Also, @sandeepg33k and @fazlerocks are great human beings and developers.

Hashnode is an awesome community of brilliant devs with excellent content! The founders @sandeepg33k and @fazlerocks are responsive and super kind. Way to go! 🙌

Migrating from WordPress to Hashnode was my best decision. I get all the features I need as a dev blogger, and then some! The community is their strongest suit! No other platform puts your articles in front of thousands of readers like Hashnode does. You can join their Discord channel where the bloggers are talking about blogging ideas, requesting platform features, hanging out, sharing useful stuff, and you get to be a part of that. Feature wise, you get Custom Pages, Custom CSS, Analytics, Web Monetization, and if you invite 3 friends, you also get Custom Widgets, so you can plug your MailChimp or any other integrations you have. And, crazy enough, all of that is free!!! Just bring your own domain! ❤️ @fazlerocks @sandeepg33k and the Hashnode team, congratulations on the PH launch and thank you guys for building this. The dev community needs this. Keep up the great work! 🙌 🚀

Hashnode is such a welcoming and unique community. They really invest and take care of people blogging using Hashnode. Keep up the great work guys!

Hashnode is a great community created by awesome developers for developers. I have been learning, sharing, communicating on Hashnode for a while now, and finding it a great booster for a dev, content creator like me. The founders @sandeepg33k and @fazlerocks go to any extent possible to get the questions answered and keep the community engaged. My Hashnode powered blog is doing very well with the features it provides for content creators(draft sharing, analytics, blog customizations, SEO, service integrations, built-in Newsletter service, many more.). If you are a developer aspiring to create technical content, join Hashnode, and create your blog. You will own your content and enjoy being part of the community that is known for helping each other. If you have a custom domain, you can map that too. If you are just looking to learn and explore, you can join the community and follow the tags of your interest. You will have tons of technical resources on your fingertips straightway. Last but not the least, Hashnode is super fast with exceptionally least downtime in the past. The support thread in the Discord channel is available round the clock to help you out. It's a great platform to try out, get used to, and earn benefit out of it. Being part of it since its initial avatar, I can convincingly say that, Hashnode has come a long way so far to solve the developer's problem in a unique way. Kudos. As a Content creator/ technology blogger, I am super happy with Hashnode and highly recommending it.

Hashnode is awesome! ✨🔥 It feels great to finally own your content! Publicizing it elsewhere never gives you an opportunity to add your own custom domain. 🎉 All the SEO work (that you would normally do by yourself) is done by the platform itself, so you can concentrate more on the actual writing. 🔍 The community members are very supportive and the team behind the product is too, you can always contact them vie their Discord server or Twitter. Further more they offer regular AMAs with the specialists in the niche so you can interact at any time 👍 Also the platform has a beautiful, modern-looking UI. It also comes with awesome, feature-rich blog dashboard, offering user full control over content and insights on statistics 💯 The integrated badge system motivates content creators and trending blogs of the week and month are being displayed in the chart 👌 Not only that, the platform is constantly evolving based on the input of the users. You can leave your feature requests on the page and the team will review them 🚀

Hashnode is an amazing blogging platform & the best part is the supportive community of devs they have. Kudos to @fazlerocks and @sandeepg33k for building the one of the best blogging platform

Hey Sandeep, Syed and the rest of the Hashnode team, congrats on the launch! Early adopter here. I switched my blog from Wordpress to Hashnode. What's the story? Well, I got tired of being in charge how my blog will look and feel. I want to write blogs, not to worry is my font 12pt or 14pt. Should I put width 720px or 1200px. And with the WP, you have all the customisation you need. And that was killing me. I need a refreshment. Some "opinionated" platform where the look and feel is predetermined and optimised. With a community. I have to emphasise the support from the founders in the early days (via twitter). They really wanted to get new users. And guess what, they were offering good things in return. Free domain, and even linking your domain to your hashnode blog. And the community is constantly rising. And you really feel being part of it. Probably I couldn't get that by joining [dev to], which is already massive. You know what is also great about Hashnode - they republish your content on other platforms (reddit, hackernews) if they like your blog posts. - they allow non dev blogpost (just mark it as a non dev, and it won't go to the hashnode dev community, but will stay on your blog) - there's a Request For Articles section where members are requesting articles and you can see which articles have already high demand. Hashnode team is also organising dev writing bootcamps where they teach people how to write technical blogs more effectively. All in all, a bit of refreshment on a dev blogging platform scene. Recommendations to try it.

I have never done blogging before. I always thought that there would be no one who will be interested to read what I say. But when Hashnode started getting popular among my friends' circle, I decided to give it a try. The onboarding/sign up process was very simple. It takes less than 5 mins to set up everything and even map your custom domain to your blog. I have started my blogging journey seriously since the start of October 2020. Since then, a lot of people have read my articles. I attribute most of this to Hashnode and their team. With Hashnode, your articles will get instant visibility as soon as you publish it on the platform. Moreover, the team at Hashnode does everything they can to increase visibility for your blog posts. Creating a blog on Hashnode is the easiest way to start your developer blog in 2020. One thing I like about Hashnode is how the founders listen to users' feedback directly. Many of the features that are present on Hashnode are direct suggestions from users. They even have a public dashboard where you can submit feature requests or log a bug report. You can even talk to the founders directly through Hashnode's discord community. If you want to start creating technical content through blogs, Hashnode is the best way to do so. Thanks again @fazlerocks and @sandeepg33k for creating such an awesome platform.
