Hashnode
Hashnode is a free content creation platform and community that allows you to publish articles on your own domain and helps you stay connected with a growing developer community.
About Hashnode
Hashnode is a blogging platform built for developers and engineers to publish technical writing. It supports syntax highlighting in 25 languages, LaTeX, tables, and embeds within its editor, and also accepts raw Markdown. Custom domains are supported, with certificate handling included.
The platform exposes a GraphQL API for headless use behind a custom frontend, and provides a command that hands a coding agent the full schema. Content can be imported from existing blogs with tags, dates, and canonical URLs preserved, with redirects to maintain old links. Every post and draft mirrors to GitHub, and posts can also be published back from that repository.
The site itself operates as a network of individually authored blogs hosted on Hashnode, covering technical topics such as software architecture, security, networking, and AI/LLM development.
