What Hashnode is
Hashnode is a blogging platform for developers and engineers. Its writing tools support raw Markdown, syntax highlighting in 25 languages, LaTeX, tables, and embeds. Authors can schedule posts, view blog analytics, and connect a custom domain; Hashnode handles the domain certificate. The platform also offers a GraphQL API and can act as a headless CMS behind a custom frontend, though reading and publishing through that API require Pro. Pro adds an in-editor AI assistant, inline generators for outlines, rewrites, and summaries, plus webhooks that send content-change notices to Slack, Zapier, or any HTTP endpoint. It can sync posts and drafts to GitHub as Markdown and supports bulk import from Markdown files. Analytics integrations include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Plausible, Fathom, Hotjar, Matomo, Meta Tags, Koala, and Microsoft Clarity. Free includes one publication and unlimited articles. Pro costs $5 a month and allows up to 10 publications per account, including one Pro publication and nine free publications.
