Hashnode — A friendly and inclusive Q&A network for coders
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.

@joshuapinter a very interesting product is going to come very soon , just keep yourself updated my twitter feed :)
Hey @fazlerocks, I hate having to login with socials, is there a way to login with email?
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.
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. :)
isn't this similar to Geeklist https://geekli.st ? if not, what are the differences? It seems, geeklist is timing out right now for me.
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? :)
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
congrats and love the UI!
one question, is it like a mashup between SO, Codepen, coderwall?
Do you plan on opening the platform to build on top of it? Chrome extensions, other clients...
love what's in there so far! Feature request: easier way to add contacts by importing from twitter/github and others
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. :)
