Writing on HackerNoon with Codesmith: Contributor Guidelines

We partnered with HackerNoon to highlight our alumni writing through their open tech publishing platform!

HackerNoon is an open community of technologists - home to niche ideas, deep research and analysis, daring opinions, and even tech roasts. All tech-related POVs are welcome, as long as they’re factual, clearly articulated, and verifiable.

How to get involved?

This is a great way to stay active in the software engineering community, build your technical brand, and share your unique perspective.

Use our hashtag #codesmith-builds when submitting posts so they can be featured as part of our community partnership. You will get expedited editing support and be featured on our tagged page.

Who can contribute?

- Codesmith alumni (primary audience for this initiative)
- Current students & mentors who have a relevant technical story or tutorial

Already have a Medium post? You can repost it on HackerNoon with a fresh title and reach a broader tech audience.

Stay tuned for writing contests hosted on HackerNoon - we’ll be sharing opportunities right here so you can showcase your work and maybe win some cash prizes!
