Hashnode - A friendly and inclusive Q&A network for coders

by

Hashnode is a place where programmers share knowledge and get appreciated by fellow programmers. We encourage developers to start insightful discussions, and share projects they have created. There are multiple forums to solve your bugs and errors; but none to ask open-ended developer questions, and discuss opinions.

Thanks @noxowe for hunting us. We launched Devmag in early 2015 in order to build a global community of software developers who are willing to help each other by sharing their knowledge. Fazle and I developed it in a short time and launched last year to see how developers perceive this. We got good response from the developer community and eventually got featured on PH. Devmag was good, but we thought there was a room for improvements. We talked to some of our active users and got really useful feedbacks and suggestions. So, we went ahead, built a team and relaunched an improved Devmag i.e. Hashnode. Hashnode doesn't aim to be a Q&A website. Rather we are focussing on building a community with emphasis on connecting developers on a global scale. We are super excited to know what you guys think of Hashnode. We would love to have your feedbacks/suggestions. :)

I love using the site - super fast, clean and simple. Not sure if I need yet another place to keep up with a feed of things I inevitably add to Pocket to never be seen again, though. :)

I have been a Hashnode lurker for past two months and am the biggest fan of their weekly newsletters . The whole community over at Hashnode is 'Extremely Knowledgeable & Helpful ' I presume they rebranded as Hashnode for the purpose of becoming more than just a developer magazine . The concept of nodes and distinct communities is very apparent in their current iteration . The website is alive with questions , tips , tutorials from seasoned veterans of the developer world and its a joy to participate in the discussion I suggest check them out for their newsletter alone

Beautiful design! Some questions: 1. How does this differ from StackOverflow? 2. Or rather, what keeps SO from integrating a more social-oriented component into their existing product? 3. Is this a newsletter, an information site, or a niche social networking site?

Hey Steven, Thanks for appreciating the design. Well, there are many things we are doing different from SO and other Q&A forums. SO is doing a great job in solving bugs and errors. Here, we are encouraging developers to ask subjective and opinion based questions. Imagine beginner/intermediate developers - they don't encounter bugs always. They need suggestions and opinions before starting to learn new technologies. Also, we have support for Codepen, GitHub and YouTube etc. This will give them options to showcase what they have done and take feedback. I don't think social networking is going to be the focus of SO. You can imagine Hashnode as a daily destination for opinions, news and networking among developers. Thanks. :)

@fazlerocks very nice, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the response!

Good job, guys! Keep it up! And maybe in few years we'll see the bigger community than StackOverflow has now. Not a bad goal, right? :)

Would love to know the story of why you decided to alter DevMag to Hashnode... DevMag was featured a few months ago so why has there been so much change? @sandeepg33k @fazlerocks

@bentossell Hey Ben.. I just wrote a comment above explaining why we changed Devmag to Hashnode.

Great design! The "5 reasons to join" is refreshing and echoes a very approachable vibe from the design. Also really like the "less than 30 seconds to join" callout. Nicely done.

Glad to see someone come up with an alternative to StackOverflow. I can't wait to see how this evolves.

I moved my blog from Wordpress to Hashnode a little more than a week ago and I wasn't disappointed. I was looking for something less bloated that would allow me to write my posts using markdown and where I could have a bigger reach. Basically, my Google search was "blogging platform for developers". I was thinking about dev.to initially but they don't allow custom domains so this was the main reason that I picked Hashnode. After using it for more than a week I think it has what I need to run my blog. They have: - analytics, and you can integrate other services for this (Google Analytics, Hotjar, etc.) - backup in GitHub repo so if you want to move to other platform you have all your posts as markdown - newsletter integration - widgets - pages - and much more I think these satisfy the basic needs for my blog and I'm happy to see the team has a fast development pace adding new features quickly.
