These are the criteria the Hashnode editors (in-house team members and community managers) look for before picking an article to be featured
The article should be original and not plagiarised.
The article should be targeted towards general programming
We pick articles that are well-researched, which would benefit readers and impart knowledge
The articles should be grammatically correct
Articles should cover trending topics
Articles should NOT be promotional or spammy in nature.
For example, intelligently include a bunch of backlinks to some products without offering substantial value in an article.
Additional determining factors
There’s no specific algorithm that we follow.
Reactions and comments have no bearing on our choice. However, we do have a look while going through the articles.
We generally avoid featuring really short articles unless they are exceptional. Nevertheless, Read Time is not the only factor.
