We are happy to share that we have published 208 #web-development stories so far, generating 45 days of reading time for the contest submissions! Kudos to our writers and readers for making this contest a success.
With writing contests, HackerNoon shares a part of its revenue with our community, rewarding the best stories. So far, we have distributed almost $300,000 in prizes to our community. We aim to get all our top tags sponsored for our writers as it encourages the tech community to share high-quality educational content, making learning accessible to everyone. We thank IONOS for supporting the web development tag and sharing the same sentiments of appreciating original and educational content by technologists, for technologists. Here’s the message from Annabelle Atchison, Head of Communications and Product Marketing at IONOS.
