HackerNoon is how hackers start their afternoons.

We are an online technology publication powered by a global community of 45,000k+ writers, and a great place for you to publish content, expand your reach, and connect with a non-toxic community of devs and dev-adjacent tech professionals, marketers, founders, investors, cat people, memers, and of course, hackers.

HackerNoon is the best place for tech professionals to publish.

Most of our 45,000+ writers work in tech. They write about how they do their jobs: what they’re building, why it’s cool, and how exactly they’re building it.

People publish with HackerNoon because we offer:

• Free editorial story improvements by a team of real live human editors
• Unparalleled story distribution to multiple communities collectively numbering over 1M+
• A paywall and pop-up free reading experience for your audience

General Guidelines for Great HackerNoon Stories

1. Don’t Be Afraid to Write in the First Person (‘I’)

Tell your story. Leave the pronoun ‘we’ at home, because only branded content should come from an celestial-sounding conglomerate.

2. Write about Technology (how its made, what its impact is, and how it’s changing our world)

While tech is a topic that infiltrates all industries and people from all walks of life, we still receive a fair amount of high-quality content that has nothing to do with the tech industry.
