Hi Sandeep,

Hashnode its good initiative for Programming community. Appreciate you and your team.

I have some feature requests and Questions.

Feature Requests:

Make pagination , If i want to go to last response i have click Load more responses again and again. Kindly check attached image.

Make content's more Categorized and fastly accessible, may be via left sidebar or tags. Like even this post If I want to read questions related Future of Hashnode , Now I have to click Load more responses again and again.

Questions:

Initially you have learned Angular but used React to bulid Hashnode , Why ? Is react better than Angular in speed ?
Hashnode UI looks similar to medium.com , Is this FLAT design or Material design ? and What UI technology has been used for UI design ?
What makes Hashnode fast ? is it because of NodeJS and React or because of high end cloud edge servers or caching servers ?

Thanks for the feature requests! I'll discuss more about them internally.

It's a matter of taste. Some devs like Angular and some others (like me) like React better. I switched to React primarily due to the fact it supported SSR out of the box which was quite necessary for me at that time (around 2013). However, today both are great choices, imo.
I am mostly into development. Maybe our co-founder Syed Fazle Rahman can shed some light on the design aspects. :)
We cache everything aggressively on Cloudflare's edge cache and try to make sure our APIs return response in milliseconds whenever possible. There are still bottlenecks in a few areas and we are working on them.

Hope this helped. :)
