HackMD has a brand new look! We are delighted to share some exciting news. After months of hard work, creativity, and a lot of coffee, we are proud to unveil our rebrand! 🎉 Here at HackMD, we’ve always been about empowering collaboration and making documentation a breeze for everyone. As we’ve grown, we’ve realized it’s time for our visual identity to grow with us. We wanted a look that reflects who we are now and where we’re headed in the future. So what can you expect? - A refreshed logo: Sleek, modern, and inspired by the tools we use every day. - Vibrant new colors: Bold and energetic, adding a dynamic feel to our website and teased in the latest Dark Mode update. - Revamped pages: Check out our redesigned homepage, blog, changelog, solutions, pricing, and about pages. Let us know what you think! We'd love your feedback.

Wow! I love HackMD - the line-by-line attribution makes it pretty awesome for real-time editing - thinking together on a page. Excited to check out this refresh. I've been wondering what's going on with the company! @rachel_golden what's your plan for the future?

Oh wow! So delighted to hear that you're enjoying the product, @rajiv_ayyangar. :) I can't give away too much, but at a high-level we're working to add functionality to make publishing more flexible and interactive, to streamline workflows, and to help teams connect with and reach a wider audience. Over the past year, we added native commenting and suggest edit to the text-editor, improved the LaTeX and UML capabilities, and integrated with Sign-in with ETH and Arweave to empower users to truly own their documentation. And we're always eager to learn more about the product experience. If there's a feature, integration, functionality, or anything in-between that would enhance your documentation on platform, please let us know!

Ok, I get it, collaboration is nice and all, but what happens when one person's changes overwrite another's work, does it have version control, and can't we have better integrations with other tools, feels a bit basic right now, just saying

@railsrubydev Yes! HackMD's text-editor has version control. Because you're exactly right, when collaborating with others, it's so important to be able to reference changes made and the historical data. I'd love to learn the integrations you're interested in! Right now we support GitHub syncing, Sign-in with ETH, Arweave, LaTeX, and UML diagrams.

Review HackMD?

HackMD is praised for its effective collaboration and clean documentation capabilities, especially for Markdown users. It integrates well with tools like Obsidian, Neovim, and VSCode. Users appreciate its simplicity and new design, though some desire better export options and a more modern UI. However, there are concerns about its buggy comment feature, unreliable advanced search, and poor customer support, with some users experiencing issues with account management and billing. Overall, HackMD is valued for its core functionality but has room for improvement.

HackMD is great for quick collaboration and clean documentation. I often use it to outline community SOPs before pushing to Notion. Would love better export options and a slightly more modern UI, but overall it gets the job done.
