Hashnode's platform is designed towards people who take interest in technology and software. This makes Hashnode communities awesome and pleasant. There is a possibility in the far future that the Hashnode platform can be made into a "communities platform" but for now I think the main focus is on technology and software which is totally fine by me.](https://hashnode.com/forums/thread/do-you-think-hashnode-can-be-community-platformif-they-open-source/comment/57ec46ffff0411d5a48bad41) Comment · Thread · Sep 28, 2016 · 5 · [Do you think Hashnode can be community platform(if they open source)?](https://hashnode.com/forums/thread/do-you-think-hashnode-can-be-community-platformif-they-open-source) [I agree with @sandeep and @chilimatic. I think what will make Hashnode Originals special and unique is that a great amount of time and effort will be put into the articles and text. This will make them thought provoking and insightful. I think Hashnode Originals will have a certain degree of quality that is high. Hashnode Originals like their name implies should be unique to Hashnode. 1. Stories I would love to read would include: Stories about similar problems that a specific software developing community faces as a whole. Examples could be similar problems game developers face in their craft. How the web development community is solving the problems of safety and security. Articles about technologies, projects, and people that are truly changing the world. I mean projects that are groundbreaking. Projects that changes peoples lives and help their communities Advice and experience articles from acclaimed developers in their industry. These articles would give background of the person as well as give others insight into their great minds 2. Stories I think should be avoided include: How-to's, simple tutorials, quick tips, or simple guides should be avoided. Articles that compare technologies. No "React.js vs Vue.js". No "Functional vs OOP". No " vs jquery". Boring articles. Articles that make me leave with nothing. Articles that don't offer me a new insight or new ideas about something. (This one is probably a little general.) Thanks @sandeep for asking for input for what content the Hashnode community wants to see.

Sometimes questions spark interesting discussions because a single question leads to more questions being asked. I think asking questions is just if not more important than answering them because for me I get a lot out of both.
