Hashnode

What is Hashnode?

Hashnode is a publishing platform built for the tech world, serving both individuals and companies. It includes in-line commenting for team discussions on drafts, AI-powered writing tools, and advanced options for SEO metadata. You can schedule posts, keep unlimited drafts and notes, collaborate in real time, and use “advanced blocks” for embedding content and media.

You can start with a free sub-domain and switch to a custom domain as your brand grows. For more flexibility, Headless Mode with APIs lets you integrate your blog directly into an existing website, such as under a path like /blog. The editor is a block-based WYSIWYG Markdown editor aimed at developers, with in-line comments and AI tools for rephrasing, spotting errors, adjusting tone, and suggesting titles.

Who created Hashnode?

Hashnode was created by Girish Mathrubootham, who also co-founded Freshworks—a customer engagement software company—with Shan Krishnasamy in 2010. He has invested in companies including BrowserStack and Razorpay.
