HackerNoon

HackerNoon publishes technology writing from founders and engineers, with an editorial process that lends pieces more credibility than self-publishing.

Submission is free through their editor with an account, and articles go through editorial review before publication; paid brand programmes exist separately. Link type is unconfirmed.

At DR 87 with roughly 60K monthly organic visits, the audience is smaller than Medium’s but more technical and more concentrated. Best suited to a substantive piece rather than a launch announcement.
