This month's featured contributors.

@arthur.tkachenko really needs to finish his platform for foodies and recipe creators but mostly he's too busy publishing record high numbers of your story submissions for Hacker Noon each week, as our in-house (well, in-Ukraine, technically) Software Development Editor. 
@linh used to be the COO of Hacker Noon but then she discovered a latent talent for high-brow journalism at the intersection of tech, culture, politics, and current affairs. "Real journalism" or not, @linh still let's us make her content accessible to readers for free, forever on Hacker Noon. 

Keen to get your own face pixelated by Hacker Noon's head of creative? 

Submit a top tech story within the next week and tag it #pixel-face to stand a chance to be one of next month's featured contributors.

🐛 Oh and one last HUGE Announcement
We're terrified of the worms likely to crawl out of this can, but...

You can now have your say on one feature our devs have agreed to deploy next month!

We're opening up the roadmap process just a teeny tiny bit: if there's a fix/innovation/feature that'd change your life as a Hacker Noon Writer, we want to know about it.
