Self-hosted alternatives to Hashnode
Hashnode is a blogging platform for developers and engineers, with a community feed of posts. One listed app does its main job and runs in your own Cloudflare account.
Each answer comes from the app’s README and source code, compared with the features Hashnode describes on its own site.

- Yes Developer blog hosting. A personal blog with Notes, Links and Quotes, code attachments and Markdown text attachments.
- Partly Editor with code highlighting, LaTeX and embeds, or Markdown. A Markdown editor with slash commands; no LaTeX or editor-level syntax highlighting found.
- Yes Custom domain with a certificate handled by the platform. Custom domains with certificates handled by Cloudflare or the hosted service.
- Partly GraphQL API for headless use behind your own frontend. An HTTP API with tokens; not GraphQL.
- Partly Markdown import that keeps tags, dates and canonical URLs. Imports Jant's own exports; the docs say there is no importer for other platforms.
- Yes Posts mirrored to GitHub, with publishing back from the repo. Every edit commits as Markdown to your GitHub repository, and edits made on GitHub flow back to the site.
