Saying Hello to Hashnode šŸ‘‹ blog

For almost two years now, I have been hosting my writings on a self-hosted blog. I crosspost all my writings to Medium but the big problem is that I cannot monetize it since the Medium Partner program is not available in India. Also, the audience on Medium is too diverse and my focus area is programming. I wanted to join a platform that has more people from the developer community and also allows me to monetize the content. So, I decided to give Hashnode a try.

The first thing I did was made a quick google search and looked for the pros and cons of using Hashnode as compared to the other platforms like Medium, Dev.to.

After clearing my doubts, I am excited to be on this platform.

I am pretty happy with the current setup so far. My portfolio website is separated from the blog. I have designed my portfolio in Jekyll and hosted it on Netlify. I write for various publications like RavSam, CSS Tricks, Vonage, ATA, and more. So, in the coming days, I would be working on a system to fetch my writings on these blogs and automatically create a blog on Hashnode using Hashnode API.

In case you are interested to know who I am and what I do, here's a brief introduction.

I am a Full Stack Developer and Technical Content Writer based in India šŸ‡®šŸ‡³. I run my one-man Digital Product Development agency,Ā RavSam, via which I provide myĀ freelance services to startups and businessesĀ around the globe. I have written blogs forĀ CSS Tricks,Ā Vonage,Ā ATA, and recently forĀ Twilio. I am currentlyĀ pursuing my Master in Computer Science and EngineeringĀ at Guru Nanak Dev Engineering and will beĀ post-graduating in 2022.

P.S.: If you are a developer, then having a blog can change your life.
