Submit to Hashnode

A blogging platform for developers: you get your own publication (on a hashnode.dev subdomain, or a custom domain on Pro) and posts also surface in Hashnode's shared feed. It suits technical write-ups about how you built something. Links inside posts are marked nofollow/ugc, so the value is readers and discoverability rather than link equity.

How to submit to Hashnode

  1. Open the Hashnode submission page

    This is the page makers use to add a product.

  2. Create an account

    Hashnode asks you to sign up before you can submit.

  3. Have your assets ready

    Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.

  4. Fill in the form carefully

    Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse Hashnode (Developers and engineers reading technical blog posts), not for search engines.

  5. Check your listing

    Listings go live without review. Open yours, check the details and check the link points to the right page.

Tips for Hashnode

  • The code of conduct names 'using the platform primarily for self-promotion' and SEO abuse as spam, so write a real technical post and mention your product in context.
  • Links in posts carry nofollow and ugc, so treat Hashnode as a readership channel, not a backlink source.
  • The Pro page says off-topic Pro posts are hidden rather than deleted by automoderation, which implies off-topic free posts can be removed; keep posts technical.
  • Mapping your own domain requires Pro; on the free plan your posts live on a hashnode.dev subdomain.

From Hashnode’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.

What to prepare

The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for developer tool directories.

  • Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
  • A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
  • Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
  • 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
  • The exact page you want the link to point to
  • Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
  • Links to your docs and a quick-start or install command
  • Your GitHub or GitLab repo, if public
  • Supported languages, frameworks and platforms
  • Pricing for the API or hosted tier, including free limits

Is Hashnode worth it?

Good for discovery, not link equity

Links from Hashnode listings carry rel="nofollow", so they pass little or no ranking value. Submit if its audience matches yours: the value is visitors and being findable where people browse.

  • Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 83 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
  • Tranco rank #21,171: an established site, inside the top 100,000.
  • Listings are published without human review.
  • There’s a free option. Start free and only pay for upgrades if the traffic justifies it.

This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
