Improvement
SEO and performance
Behind-the-scenes work.
OG images
Tag pages and profile pages generate their own Open Graph images now. When you share a link, it looks good in Slack, Twitter, LinkedIn.
Structured data
Every public page has proper schema.org JSON-LD markup. Profiles, tags, the homepage, individual posts. Search engines can parse all of it now.
Canonical URLs
Canonical tags and absolute OG image URLs across the board. Duplicate content issues should be gone.
PWA
Web app manifest, app icons, mobile-friendly metadata. Add Hashnode to your phone's home screen and it behaves like a native app.
Database work
The queries behind trending bloggers and trending tags were slow. We rewrote them. The homepage is noticeably faster.
