The smoothest experience I've had with an online publication. Been having a blast publishing articles on HackerNoon. My favorite part is the emphasis on total time readers spend actually reading the piece. Awesome contributor submission process of working with editors too. The smoothest experience I've had with an online publication. 10/10 HN - you guys built a cool thing.

I am a follower and avid reader of HackerNoon since the early days on Medium. When Medium pulled up a paywall, HackerNoon stepped up and took the community with which it helped Medium platform grow and started their own. I loved the way you pulled that one! HackerNoon bootstrapped vs Medium very well VC funded. Maybe it hit home, as we are not VC-funded ourselves either.
