HackerNoon Anmeldelser 32

HackerNoon is essentially the "Global Square" for anyone who actually works in tech. Whether you're a hardware engineer, a web dev, or a founder, it’s one of the few places left where the content is written by practitioners for practitioners.

The platform's editorial standards are what really set it apart. Unlike other open-publishing sites that are flooded with low-effort marketing fluff, HackerNoon has a human-in-the-loop system. When you submit a piece—like a deep dive on VLSI or the "Silicon Renaissance"—you’re getting actual feedback to ensure the piece is readable and technically sound.

Plus, the UI is fantastic. It’s clean, lacks intrusive ads, and the "Reading Time" and "Audio Player" features make it incredibly accessible for busy engineers on the go. If you want to stay ahead of the curve in the AI era without the corporate filter, HackerNoon is the bookmark you need.

So far their support staff is very cooperative and the user interface is very simple. I have posted my first post and it is in waiting for getting approval

I used to really enjoy publishing on HackerNoon, but lately my experience has been less positive.

First, the writing interface itself has been challenging. The editor was buggy. I couldn’t import my story, and when I tried to copy and paste sections of my post, I found it very difficult to add code blocks. This made the overall writing process frustrating.

More importantly, however, I was disappointed with the editorial process. The title of my article was changed from “How to Migrate Your Flutter Apps to Support Android 16KB Pages — A Clear and Simple Guide” to “How to Make Your Android App 16KB Page Size Compliant Before the Deadline.” I had expected that the editor would request revisions rather than unilaterally changing the title.

This is a significant issue for me because the article specifically addresses Flutter apps, not Android apps in general.

I kindly request that there should be some sort of confirmation before certain changes are made to the article.

The website lacks professionalism.
I wanted to post a comment on an article, but HackerNoon said that I needed to be logged in to add comments. I was already logged in and had successfully set up my profile, but I still couldn't post any comments.

What was the issue? Was it some Next.js misconfiguration or something? Please fix this.

HackerNoon provides a superior venue, easy posting (and illustrating from millions of free, legal, sources), excellent editorial support and very good exposure to one's peers in tech.

Incredibly rewarding experience seeing multiple articles reach the top 20 and trend for weeks.Written 87 articles on HackerNoon with nine Top Story of the Day awards. They also have ranks for multiple expertise domains, and I have been ranked #1 for AI for almost two months last year. Very supportive community and a fantastic experience! One warning for new writers: no payments allowed for articles on HackerNoon.

HackerNoon is one of the best platforms for publishing and reading content about technology, startups, and innovation.
I really appreciate the quality of the articles, the variety of topics, and the ease of sharing ideas with a wide audience.
The platform is user-friendly, the editorial team is supportive, and the content resonates well with professionals.
It’s an excellent place both for learning and for building a personal brand in the tech industry.
Highly recommend it to anyone interested in IT, entrepreneurship, and emerging trends!

They are tough about the material they let you publish, Content Reviews, Quality control, etc. But they compensate for it with everything else. Quick review: Equal opportunity ( They hype you big if the content is good), and of course, they are welcoming.

If you are someone who wants to start your writing journey, Hackernoon is the place to start. If you are a seasoned writer, you are going to love it anyway.

Very professional and very prompt review of the articles. Kushal as an maintainer and editor is simply great to work with. He keeps things simple and ensures the article is top-notch in quality.

Hackernoon is the best tech publishing platform for me. It is probably one of the rarest platforms to back all users’ articles in the blockchain to guarantee top security. They have an excellent app for your smartphone, which allows you to be up-to-date with the latest technology news, articles, and new advancements in the field.
It has been more than four years since Hackernoon, and I have managed to publish more than 50 articles on the platform. I am among the top 10 finalists more than 16 times in their different writing contests and managed to win the contests more than seven times. They reward hardworking-winning authors, which is impressive. Additionally, I have been receiving genuine support from Kushal and his support team to address different issues. The editors are cool and supportive. They were fair and well trained to filter genuine submissions.
Whenever I find spare time, I write and publish articles on the platform. Just locating my work on Hackernoon, some projects have shown interest in me and offered really cool opportunities, so it is also about the prestige to include Hackernoon’s profile link in your public portfolio. I ask you to ignore false rumors about the platform, and you can actually be on the platform and publish genuine articles. Remember that the Hackernoon editors are experts in finding plagiarized and AI-generated stuff so that you need to work carefully on your draft before submission.

HackerNoon has been an exceptional platform for publishing my articles and sharing my ideas with a broader audience. The team is incredibly supportive, offering valuable feedback and guidance to help writers improve and even increase their chances of being featured.

What truly sets them apart is their personalized approach—one of their editors took the time to provide direct contact information to assist me with publishing questions. This level of engagement shows their dedication to fostering a strong community of writers and tech enthusiasts.

If you're looking for a platform that amplifies your voice, provides real value, and helps you grow as a writer, HackerNoon is the place to be. Their commitment to promoting quality content makes them stand out in the crowded space of online publications.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to connect with a vibrant community and share impactful content.

HackerNoon always does an excellent job editing my stories and getting them published in a timely fashion. HackerNoon also provides an easy way to alert the publication if your story is not published within the time frame you expect, and its team follows up promptly.

So far, I've published more than 130 articles. What I appreciate the most is that there's no paywall for my readers. HackerNoon has had only human editors from day one. That's the legendary HackerNoon Second Human Reader Rule. There are always writing contests which are amazing credibility boosters for any writer. I use my HackerNoon profile as my writer's portfolio.

There are a lot of tech content to read and the customer support is out of this world. 🥹 Lastly! There is always a contest.

Definitely recommend Hackernoon!

A lot diversed interesting content to read, and a customer service support out of this world, that helps instantly.
5 stars.

great platform if you're into web3, finance, and current events in the tech realm. if you are a writer, you'll also enjoy their editor features, writing contests, etc.

Great contributor support team, easy platform to use as contributor, good content. Overall a big fan

My experience as a writer was amazing. The staff is super helpful - the editors pick the stories really fast (max 1 day turnaround time), the support staff (a person by the name Kushal) is very helpful in guiding the writers step-by-step across the platform and helping them getting published and noticed. Way to go Hackernoon! I am very pleased and will continue writing for them.

Dear online community,

I wish to share a rather unfortunate experience I had on HackerNoon, and I do so with the broader online community. My primary request is aimed at projects that are already partnered with them or those considering such partnerships in the future, especially concerning their so-called article writing contests. I urge you to explore alternative options. Through my continuous observations as a user, I have confidently concluded that their evaluation criteria are seriously flawed, as they lack the necessary technology to filter out bot-generated traffic. Scammers have identified this weakness and are attempting to exploit it in the following ways, which I will now describe in detail.

One of their key rules for evaluating contest articles is that the top 10 articles must have generated high traffic (including bot traffic - test this by disregarding their responses). So, what do scammers do to take advantage of this rule? They create multiple articles from multiple accounts or the same account, generating artificial internet traffic for all their submissions. This way, they secure most of the available slots within the 10-article quota to increase their chances of winning. In 95% of cases, the article with the highest traffic wins the contest. It's disheartening to acknowledge that a significant portion of the funds from such contests likely ends up in the hands of scammers because quality is not a priority. High-quality articles either go unapproved or are severely underestimated by editors who often lack the expertise to evaluate such submissions.

If you examine the works of past contest winners, you will be astonished. AI-generated articles and articles with non-functional, flawed code have frequently emerged as winners. Hence, it is not difficult to conclude that the concept of HackerNoon is not inherently flawed, but several factors may eventually lead to its downfall. As an experienced developer, I submitted high-quality articles for their "Unity Writing Contest," but none of them were selected as winning entries. This, I boldly claim, is due to the presence of scammers and their flawed evaluation criteria. Low-quality articles have won, and such articles can be easily found on the internet. Consequently, I decided to withdraw all my articles from their platform and republish them on my personal blog, where they are now attracting decent traffic. My frustration does not stem from not winning but from their erroneous methods of selecting contest winners.

Another concerning trend is the scammers who won previous contests gradually changing their bios to match the nature of upcoming contests. For instance, if the contest is gaming-related, they update their bio to claim they are an "Experienced Game Developer." If it's a DevOps contest, they change their bio to "Professional DevOps Engineer." Astonishingly, they continue to win. This might be because editors have no clear criteria for evaluating submissions and are turning to circumstantial evidence in the contestants' profiles. If your bio states "Marketer," participating in a gaming contest will almost certainly result in a loss.

My request is simple: if you are organizing a contest in a public forum, please ensure fairness and recognize the hard work of participants. Your announcement writer comes across as extremely rude and fails to appreciate participants who do not win. Consider removing the top ten quotas for evaluating submissions and assuming a less active role in evaluating articles from HackerNoon's Editorial end because their roles should be already there while approving the submissions. Most of the judging responsibility should be granted to the projects launching the contests. Thank you.
