Hey PH community - so excited to be back with my team at Hashnode for another hunt after a long time. Missed you all! 👀 We’re thrilled to share Hashnode’s journey, from helping developers and companies create blogs to now powering their product and API docs. This was a natural next step for us and one of the most requested features by our community. Docs for Hashnode is everything we wished current documentation tools would solve: - Unlimited UI customization - Build and use custom components - No build time - Team collaboration on docs—not just for developers - An intuitive writing experience like Notion and Google Docs Over the years, we’ve tried many tools at Hashnode. Readme felt restrictive in UI, and Docusaurus was a hassle to maintain and deploy. We think our Documentation tool is the one-stop solution for developers and teams of all sizes. Start with the hosted version, and as your company scales, switch to headless mode for full UI customization. Here are a few things I personally love about this tool: 1. Host multiple guides and API references in one project. 2. One-click API reference playground generation from OpenAPI spec. 3. Go headless and tweak the Next.js + TailwindCSS project to suit your team’s needs. 4. Rich and familiar MDX visual editor. 5. A powerful “Ask AI” search for docs. We can’t wait to see what you do with our new Docs product. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback!

@fazlerocks I absolutely love the flexibility of the three formats! • Headless • Hashnode subdomain • Custom domain This really gives developers the freedom to choose what works best for them!

Hey Product Hunt community! 🚀 I am Sandeep, co-founder of Hashnode. 👋 As a blogging platform, Hashnode recently crossed a few milestones like 150M views, 1B+ annual API calls and 10M+ monthly views. From early-stage startups to large communities like freeCodeCamp, many rely on Hashnode to run their publications at scale. While helping individuals and teams build their blogs, we observed a common problem across many dev tools and software companies. Every software company needs a blog and documentation, yet there’s no standard way to create and manage them. Businesses often spend a lot of time and money using different solutions for blogs and docs, which leads to a disjointed experience. If they use a hosted service, they eventually need more customizations and end up building their own. With Hashnode, we’re trying to solve exactly this. You can now manage your blog and docs together using Hashnode, saving time and effort. For example, the team at Outerbase manages both their blog and docs using Hashnode, which is 10x faster and easier than their previous home grown solution. Our new documentation product helps teams build content for their public documentation websites and collaborate easily. It combines Hashnode's powerful editor, dashboard, and custom domain mapping, with an optional headless mode, to create any public-facing API docs or guides. What makes us unique? We're the first to launch with best-in-class GraphQL APIs and an open-source frontend (early preview). This means you get unmatched flexibility and customizations if you outgrow our hosted frontend. Some key features include: - Sync from GitHub or write using Hashnode’s WYSIWYG editor - Custom domain - Headless mode - Subpath installation - Unlimited guides, API references, and custom pages - AI-assisted writing and search at no extra cost - Built-in Algolia search - Best-in-class support for versioning (upcoming) - Built-in analytics and integrations - Realtime collaborative editing - SEO, accessibility, and speed - batteries included … and much more You can check out another Hashnode-powered documentation project in action over here. Everything you need under the resources tab of a dev tool company — blog, docs, or changelog. Hashnode can handle it all and help you grow. We're excited to see how this new product will help you scale your documentation and resources effortlessly. Check it out, and we'd love to hear your feedback! Thanks for your support! 🙌

@sandeepg33k So proud of what we have built! Cannot wait to see more teams use our docs product! :)
Shaydee Coder
@sandeepg33k It’d be really nice to be able to create private-facing documentations for internal team members as well.
Hitesh Choudhary
It really makes sense to have docs as a product. You have already nailed down editor, GitHub integration, custom domain etc. Now all of this integrated into Docs so that tech products can have better docs, this is really a natural graduation of a product. Very excited to check out all features. Of course, you folks have already started a trend of headless.
Florian Fuchs
@hiteshchoudhar We're excited that you see the natural fit of Docs in our product lineup - like we did when designing the product. Can’t wait for you to explore all the features. Thanks for your support! 🚀
Brandon Strittmatter
Huge fans of the new docs, congrats @fazlerocks @sandeepg33k and the rest of the hashnode team! They're beautiful out of the box and they are incredibly easy to customize, we have been loving them at Outerbase. :)

Congrats on the launch @fazlerocks! What motivated you to create this tool for developer docs and API references?
Haimantika Mitra
@suprabhatbiyani That is a good question! Our co-founder has written an article on why we built a documentation tool. You can read here - https://hshno.de/why-docs-by-has...

Hashnode has always been about building experiences that the developer community can benefit from. Evolving from blogs, our next chapter now includes docs as the new offering. We are extending the powerful hosted+headless experience for docs as we did for blogs. Excited to finally share it with everyone ✨
Thrilled for the team to have arrived at launch day! Hashnode has made managing my blog as breeze and I can’t wait for us to bring this experience to documentation as well. Building your custom documentation for API’s and product has never been easier with Hashnode’s top class editor, ever growing list of features, and collaboration tools. It’s gonna be easier than ever for dev rels, developers, and anyone else to maintain and manage docs and blogs under one roof. Excited!

We’re live! 🎉 After months of hard work, we’ve created what we believe is the easiest tool for building docs. Tried my best to solve DX issues and making it the best designed docs product on the internet. Cannot wait to see you all trying it and sharing your feedback with us!
Ayodele Samuel Adebayo (Unclebigbay)
One of the best things you can do for your DevRel team is to gift them Hashnode for managing your product blogs and documentation. I’m thrilled to be part of the team launching this exciting product, and I can’t wait for you to see how it transforms the way we handle developer content!
Harsh Gandhi
Today’s a special day! After months of hard work, we’re launching Docs by Hashnode. Having been part of this journey, I’ve seen firsthand the dedication the team poured into creating a documentation solution that’s powerful, flexible, and a joy to use. Our goal was simple: make documentation as intuitive and delightful as writing a blog. I’m genuinely excited for everyone to experience it and can’t wait to see how it empowers developers and teams around the world.
Ammar Mirza
The launch day is finally here! Super proud of the whole team who worked very hard for this. Can’t wait for people to actually get their hands on and experience how superior Docs by Hashnode is 😁 I’m sure this will receive the same love from community as blogs did 🫶🏻
Dev Shekhawat
Super excited. We have put our hearts and souls in building Docs by Hashnode and today, we are launching it to the public. Building beautiful an feature rich documentations for your product and APIs is now as easy as thinking about it.
Rohan Mendiratta
Just checked it out. Amazing UX! Does it also support two way Github sync?
Alessandro Volpicella
@rohan_mendiratta1 Hey not yet! We are currently working on the feature GitHub -> Docs. Is GitHub two-way sync something you would need for your current workflow?
Sandeep Panda
@rohan_mendiratta1 GitHub sync is in early preview. For now, we are focusing on only syncing content from GitHub and will soon add support for syncing content back to GitHub.
