Today the Hashnode + daily.dev integration is making a big step forward!

Announcing a brand new exclusive daily.dev badge on Hashnode! After lengthy discussions between our team and the incredible founders of Hashnode, we decided that it makes sense to let bloggers on Hashnode get recognition for their achievements, such as being featured on the daily.dev feed 💪🏼

‍Why is it a big deal for indie bloggers?

For a long time, we’ve been thinking about how we can provide a proper stage for personal bloggers on daily.dev alongside the A-list tech magazines. 

It’s a complicated task, but we believe we found a solution through this fantastic partnership with Hashnode! From now on, independent bloggers can have it all:

• Have their blog hosted under their own domain.
• Publish valuable content ridiculously easily.
• And... get a bunch of traffic through the daily.dev and Hashnode networks!

So how can you get the “Featured on daily.dev” badge?

Get your article picked by daily.dev

• Unlock your blog on Hashnode, if you haven't done so already
• Publish your articles as usual
• If it gets sufficient reactions from the Hashnode community, it will be automatically picked up by daily.dev.

Getting your article featured on daily.dev

Once every 24 hours, we will pick one article from the Hashnode network that got the most significant engagement and recognition through the daily.dev community. The selection process is entirely automatic, and the featured post will be selected based on a combination of:

• Upvotes received on daily.dev
• Unique views of daily.dev users

After an article gets featured, the lucky author will get a notification on Hashnode that their article got featured on daily.dev! Here’s how it looks like:

What’s next?

We are cooking more awesome things for you! We care about the developers’ community and want to make knowledge sharing easier and accessible than ever before. That’s our mindset, and we can’t wait to tell you more soon! Stay tuned 🚀
