In their own words
Hashnode
Hashnode is a blogging platform for developers and engineers, with tools for writing technical posts and managing publications. Articles support raw Markdown, syntax highlighting in 25 languages, LaTeX, tables, and embeds. Users can schedule posts, view blog analytics, and connect a custom domain; Hashnode handles the domain certificate. It can also serve as a headless CMS behind a custom frontend through its GraphQL API. The Free plan costs nothing and includes one publication with unlimited articles. Pro costs $5 a month and allows up to 10 publications per account—one Pro publication and nine free publications—with unlimited articles. Pro adds an in-editor AI assistant and inline generators for outlines, rewrites, and summaries. It also provides webhooks for content-change notifications to Slack, Zapier, or HTTP endpoints, GitHub syncing for posts and drafts as Markdown, and bulk import from Markdown files. Reading and publishing through the GraphQL API require Pro. Hashnode is available on web and through an API, and lists integrations for analytics and measurement services.
