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

I like it, looks nice and simple

I am great fan of your UI & UX!

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?

Any plans for an iPhone / Android app?

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

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.

Congrats on the launch @fazlerocks!

love what's in there so far! Feature request: easier way to add contacts by importing from twitter/github and others

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

Great design!

Just signed up! Really cool idea and can be a great resource

Seems like a friendlier StackOverflow!

Really unique site --- with quick onboarding process -- love the look and feel --- super mobile responsive too

congrats and love the UI! one question, is it like a mashup between SO, Codepen, coderwall?

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.

Really great, been using this for a while now and I've recommended over a hundred people..
