Helping Us Keep
HackerNoon
Free to Read, Forever
The internet is our generation's greatest invention. We think it works better without paywalls, pop-ups, or the abuse of data.
HackerNoon’s Tech Stack
The Products that
Power HackerNoon
We code our site from the feet up. In July 2019, we removed the Medium content management system from our site, and launched our own publishing platform. Overnight, HackerNoon became not only a publishing company, but also a software company.
We built (and continue to build) the HackerNoon platform:
For readers to enjoy access to highest quality, evergreen and topical tech content—paywall and pop-up-free
For writers to elevate their own voices with the support of our team of human editors to review, improve, publish, and distribute their words online
For sponsors to make a positive and potentially profitable impression on tech’s most influential and innovative minds
