At Hashnode, we want to help you build docs and blogs that are highly customizable, follow accessibility standards, and offer a great developer experience. We have been adding features and enhancements every week that focus on helping you build effective docs and blogs.

This week, we worked on:

  • Adding steps component to Hashnode’s docs product.

  • Accessibility improvements on Hashnode’s blog starter kit.


Addition of steps component on Hashnode docs.

Writing step-wise guides and tutorials is now easier and more intuitive on Hashnode. The new step component can help you write and organize guides easily.

Here’s how you can make use of it:

  • Go to the docs editor.

  • Type / and then click on the Advanced tab.

  • Then scroll down to add the Steps component.

  • Then keep adding the step title and description to build your step-wise guide.


Accessibility improvements on Hashnode’s blog starter kit.

Hashnode’s open-source blog starter kit can help you build blogs in Headless mode in three themes:

  • Enterprise

  • Hashnode

  • Personal

We have made updates to improve accessibility in the Table of Contents component in the Hashnode theme of blog starter kit by adding aria-label and aria-expanded attributes to buttons for screen reader support, ensuring better navigation and context for users with assistive technologies.


We hope these new features will help you write better docs and blogs. If you have any feedback or questions, reach out to us on Discord.
