Rationale

Hashnode offers a platform for creating blogs and API documentation, primarily targeting developers and teams. It features a WYSIWYG Markdown editor, analytics, AI-assisted writing, and collaboration tools. While it supports content creation and distribution, its core focus is on technical documentation and developer blogs rather than a broad online publishing platform for general long-form content with a strong reader monetization model like Medium. It has a rich text editor, reader engagement metrics (analytics), community feedback tools (inline comments, user feedback feature), publication management (for teams), user profiles and following, tags and topics, email newsletter integration (implied by 'email newsletter' in the context of a blog platform), social sharing, and search and discovery. However, it lacks a clear 'membership monetization' model where readers pay for content and writers earn based on reading time, which is a must-have for Medium. Its monetization is primarily through team plans for the platform itself.
