The foreword is a global tech magazine and news site by Hashnode. What's next in tech, for the people building it.
What we cover
How software gets made, and the companies making it. That means AI, coding agents, developer tools, infrastructure, startups and funding, from everywhere in the world.
How we work
We go to primary sources and check the numbers ourselves. When we get something wrong, we fix it and say what changed. Every post carries a named human byline.
What you will find here
News. What happened and why it matters to people building software.
Guides and comparisons. Longer pieces that answer the questions people keep asking.
Living pages. Pricing tables, release timelines and feature matrices, updated in place rather than republished. If a number on one of them is wrong, that is a bug and we want to hear about it.
Sponsorship
The foreword is read by people who build software and choose the tools their teams use. If that is your audience, we would like to hear from you. Tell us what you are launching, who you want to reach, and your timeline, and we will come back with what is available.
Sponsorship is separate from editorial. Placements are labelled, and buying one does not buy coverage, a review, or a place in a comparison. That separation is what makes the audience trust what they read here, which is the thing you are actually buying.

Get in touch
Building what's next? We want to hear about it.
Most useful: a link to the docs or the changelog, what actually changed, and who it is for. Least useful: a press release.
We honour embargoes agreed in advance. Reach us at theforeword@hashnode.com.
