Introducing Devblog 👩💻 👨💻 📝

One-stop free blogging solution optimized for developers!

Hey developers, 👋

Today, I am very happy to share something we have been building at Hashnode.

Introducing Devblog ✨ 

✅ Free blogging platform optimized for devs 

✅ No lock-in (blog on a custom domain) 

✅ No paywall 

✅ Automatic Backups on GitHub

What's the catch? 🔥

I am glad you asked!

Devblog is totally free and always will be for solo-developers. We hate paywalls as much as you do. So, we plan to charge for premium features while keeping most of the important features open. Something similar to GitHub's pricing.

No lock-in 🔓

Unlike traditional blogging platforms like Medium, Hackernoon, Devto, etc., we are giving full freedom to developers.

✅ Ability to use a custom domain (SEO juice is yours)

✅ Automated GitHub Backup of your articles

✅ Export in JSON format anytime

Visibility to your blog! 🔥

Did I mention, you get visibility from Day 0?

Every time you post on your Devblog, our system surfaces it in the Hashnode global community. We get around 500K unique visitors every month and are committed to increasing this number.✊

Besides the above, we also offer the following features for free

🔑 Free HTTPS and edge caching

🚀 PageSpeed Score of 100 for every blog

📝 Write in Markdown

☁️ Autosaving of drafts

✏️ Syntax Highlighting & rich embeds

🎨 Change look & feel

⚡️ AMP Support (disabled by default)

Give it a shot!

Finally, I would like to add that, we are committed to growing an active community of dev bloggers.

Give Devblog a shot and let me know (DM is open) how we can improve and make blogging easy and hassle-free.

Also, I really believe that every developer should have a blog and own their canonical URLs instead of giving away their content for free. Read this article on how you can #OwnYourCanonical.
