Hi, Sam nice article. Hashnode is a great place for blogging. What's more amazing is that it's free.
I have been writing on Medium for almost a year now and I really loved it. There is a huge audience for developers on Medium too. If you check out the popular publications on Medium, you will realize that most of them are related to programming and software development.
For example, "better programming" has over 100k followers. "JavaScript in plain English" has more than 50k followers. There is a huge audience on Medium that pays 5$/month to read programming content. Medium is more like a social platform, if you're thinking about ranking on Google, having your own blog is the best option.
But Medium has a built-in audience, I write about frontend and JavaScript stuff. Even if I don't get ranked on Google, I still have the chance to get thousands of reads from the existing Medium audience. Some of my articles got over 20k views without ranking on Google.
You can add code snippets on Medium too. You can use a chrome extension, embed a GitHub gist, or use backticks to do that.
Your article helped me a lot. thank you so much. About 45 of my 54 blog posts have arrived, but there are some I want to get more, either it gives an error or the circle is constantly spinning. I've tried this too many times. Have you ever encountered this problem? Can you suggest a method? thank you.
I'm excited to complete my profile and submit more articles. I can see this becoming an invaluable resource to network and share knowledge very soon! I didn't see too many articles revolving around iOS development so maybe I'll start filling out this space!
Hashnode is a great platform managed by even greater people
Sad to share, but I pay for the Medium paywall.
It frustrates me that so many people decide to post to Medium.
If you're learning Data Science it seems that's the only place people decide to post.
Yea I agree with all you just said, Sam. Hashnode really is a great platform. I stumbled on it from a lockdown conference I attended last year and my experience here since then, has been so amazing.

Is this a good place to ask to consider allowing a user to keep multiple blogs on hashnode?
