Hey Hashnode Community. Here are the new updates on Hashnode.

Bulk Markdown Importer

With the new bulk markdown importer, you can import a zip file containing posts in markdown format.

Your zip file should contain a .md file for each post. The importer will read the markdown frontmatter (title, slug, date, and image) of your .md file and use it for your blog post.

To use this feature;

Step 1: Go to your blog's dashboard, navigate to the IMPORT tab, and click on Bulk Markdown Importer.

Step 2: Click on UPLOAD YOUR MARKDOWN ZIP FILE to upload a zipped version of the markdown file.

Step 3: Finally, click on the Publish button to publish the markdown file(s) to your blog.

Page rules (301 & 302 redirects)

You can now create arbitrary 301/302 redirects. For instance, a link that redirects to your YouTube channel, courses, etc.

To do this, go to your blog's dashboard, click on the ADVANCED tab, add the required information and click on Add Rule.

Improved UX on blogs

We modified the infinite scroll on Hashnode blogs, so it continues when you click on the Load More button. This has been done to improve the UX where blog users cannot reach the blog's footer.
