Hashnode

Hashnode — Developer blogging platform with custom domains, newsletter, and a GraphQL API for content.

-

Our Verdict

The cleanest managed blogging platform for devs who want custom domain plus zero ops.

Pros

  • Free custom domain for personal blogs
  • GraphQL API for content management
  • Strong developer SEO out of the box
  • Built-in newsletter and analytics

Cons

  • Smaller audience than dev.to
  • Theming flexibility limited
  • Direct monetization tools thin
  • Platform risk if strategy pivots
Best for: Developers running a personal blog on a custom domain without self-hosting. Not for: Teams needing full ownership, advanced theming, or monetization-first platforms.
