Hey Fellas, 👋🏻 Long time.

Anyways, apologies if I kept you waiting. 🤗

Edition #4 of Life came 3 weeks back, so I indeed have a lot to share with.

I took a small break from writing this series as the pandemic situation has been bad here. I hope all of you are safe and healthy and staying strong in these times. 🤗

If you are new here, you can browse through the previous editions.

So what all happened at Hashnode? 🎉

Actually, a lot of things.

New Additions in the Team 🧑🏻‍💻

Anand Vaidyanathan - our data reading wizard who is heading Hashnode as its very first PM.

Though the whole Hashnode Team loves to talk to users, it's great that now we officially have Anand on the team to hear out all you want to say about Hashnode.

You can easily connect with Anand on Twitter or Discord - anand_1.0 #4359 and talk about New Features, Problems, Optimizations, anything, and everything.

Kieran Roberts - is the newest gem added to the Dev Team Crown of Hashnode.

You probably already know Kieran from his blog. If you don't, then his blog is the best thing you will discover today.

Stand-ups are way more fun with these additions.

Also, the number of Adventurous and Travel loving people in the team has suddenly increased.

We are considering creating a Hashnode Adventure Club once the Pandemic is over with Anand Vaidyanathan, Kieran Roberts, and Girish Patil as its leads. 😂😂

Our vision of supporting Dev bloggers became more true. 🌟

No matter how bigger the Hashnode team becomes, there is one vision that everyone working at Hashnode shares is making the lives and experience of Dev Bloggers better and better each day.

As Hashnode Sponsors supports this vision of ours. The whole team was super excited and pumped up while Hashnode Sponsors was becoming a reality.

Hashnode Sponsors is a new way by which you can monetize your developer blog and Support your favorite content creators on the platform. When using Hashnode Sponsors, every blog gets a your-domain.com/sponsor which acts as a dedicated page highlighting all the fans of the blog.

Ok, so you wanna know the BEST part of this?

Hashnode Sponsors is commission-free!

We truly believe in empowering the community and staying true to it. We are making it very easy for authors to get sponsored for their content without worrying about the commission. It's all yours to take!
