This is very exciting! I'm looking forward to reading amazing articles by the community and write some myself 🔥🔥 Really recommend new bloggers to do this challenge to start developing consistent writing habits!
Looking forward to this too!
You're a consistent writer, but with this writing challenge, your audience (including myself) will get to meet you better and, of course, learn from you!
Aww thanks Eleftheria Batsou! I'm actually reading the #week1 articles right now and learning from others' stories and lessons have been so inspiring! I feel like I gained so much just participating as a reader haha 😊 Kudos to the Hashnode team for this initiative!

Of course !! Eleftheria Batsou

Thank you, Eleftheria !
Great initiative Eleftheria Batsou. Looking forward to publish great articles.
We are looking forward to reading your articles too! Good luck.
Excited to participate in this!! I think the topics given are interesting, and I look forward to reading others' blogs, as everybody will share different experiences and learnings.
Yes!! Looking forward to reading people's stories too! I enjoy these types of articles :)
Interesting! This is an opportunity to challenge me to improve my writing.
Exactly! Will you take part?
First article is in 1 week!!
Eleftheria Batsou definitely
Tempting... I have my long list of ideas and half-finished drafts I wanted to polish but a community event sounds fun!
Yes, do take part! There is a chance to win some cash prizes too!! You can always finish your draft articles after this hackathon :)
Eleftheria Batsou You got me with the challenge, I wrote articles for the first two weeks yesterday. I think I have a tendency to be competitive, good job! A friend I ask for proof reading from time to time already hates this event.
In that case, I'm sure you'll do a great job Karol Horosin!
And proofreading is important so keep sending your articles for a quick review :)
If you already have your articles ready you can take advantage of the scheduling feature at the settings of each article...
Yeah, I love the scheduling feature, was waiting for this one for quite some time.
First article is out!
I will participate in this! wish me luck 😆
Good luck Eliaz Bobadilla
Best of luck 🤞!!
Benjamin Semah Thanks, I'll give my best!

Eleftheria Batsou Definitely😌
This sounds so cool! Let's goo. 🔥
Yeah!! Let's do this!
Sharing my story while inspiring newbies is the best moment in my life, I can't wait to participate in this hackathon #week1 we go 😊
Yes!! Looking forward to read your stories 🚀
I was thinking of starting writing blogs on a regular interval and there comes a Hashnode hackathon 🫡, Thanks for giving the motivation I'll try to be creative and post an engaging article similar to the lifestyle vlogs I'm hooked up with 👽
I have a lot of interesting things to share like my freelance experience, startup experience, working/earning while studying, my GSoC Experience, MLH interview experience, failed and pass interview, resume, and some other interesting stuff (Why degree doesn't matter in tech like I'm a BCA grad from 3rd tier college but had international offers), etc.
Nice that you have so many stories to share Sagar Khurana, we are looking forward to reading them!
Informative and interesting
Yes! Will you participate?
Okay.... I'm in, lets do it!
#4articles4weeks
Best wishes Prakhar Sinha

That's interesting, Let's do it.
Yeah!! Good luck!
Looking forward to trying this out!🚀
And we are looking forward to read your articles :)
What a great idea for a hackathon!! Just like the #2Articles1Week challenge but I think this hackathon might drive even more writers to participate.
Thrilled to participate!!
Yeap exactly! Now there are deadlines, specific topics and also a big cash prize..!
Yeah!!!
This is going to be my first writing contest super excited 🥳🥳✌️
Good luck Anas!
This sounds super cool! I wanted to start writing since really long and this is an awesome opportunity!
We're glad that you liked it! Looking forward to read your stories!!
Yay. I want to jump on this. Hope it's not late?
Nope, it's not too late!!
The 1st deadline is the 22nd of Aug.
me - Late comers Lets start
Yes!! You have a few more days left before the 1st deadline! 🔥
Hi, I am not a developer, I just started using Hashnode to blog about my learning journey as a User Interface/experience designer and also personal experiences. Can I participate?
Hi Oyiza Kharimat Usman, yes, of course you can participate!
Just please make sure you cover one topic from each week! And on week4 you can write whatever you like :)
This is a good challenge. I started my Hashnode account to compete in one of the earlier write-a-thons and put so much time and effort (w/ coding and deploying and testing) into such a big long article that I almost burned myself out. This is good opportunity to get back on track with shorter articles and improve my blog.
Yes Jason Williams, that sounds like a good plan! I'm sure we'll enjoy reading your stories 🤗.
Good luck!
Its awesome, the idea is to keep growing, I'm glad the platform is encouraging our personal growth
Always! Let's keep growing 🚀
Good luck with the challenge Mokutmfon James.
This is really exciting but I noticed it's developer specific. What about people from other tech fields, can they engage?
Yes, they can Aniefuna Chisom Victoria!
Just make sure you cover one topic from each week (and on week4 you can write whatever you prefer).
The topics can change according to your tech field, we are not very strict with that :)
This seems like it will be fun.
Oh it will! Are you taking part?
Good luck Prince Nwaonicha!
Thank you!
Sounds like a challenge! I have a question about item (3) of Week #3:
"[...] technology would be most revolutionary for solving [...] social problem"
I don't think my current project is solving a social problem... I've been in projects with social impact as I'm a former Mozilla and Greenpeace dev (I could tell you more about it in the posts!), but my current project is just... fun... not sure if it's specifically "solving [X] social problem"... can I do it anyway? Or it would be off-topic?
Thanks.
It's ok Pablo Cúbico, you can absolutely do it!
We are not very strict with the topics and everyone can write whatever best suits them :)
Good luck with the challenge, it seems like you'll write some interesting stuff!! 🔥
This is Lovely, and I am looking forward to participate!!!!!!!!!
Yes! Good luck Esosa otu!
I've been planning to resume writing on my hashnode blog. By my plan schedule, I should hit the ground running from next week 😊😊😊. . I guess this contest came at a perfect time. . My first article drops next tomorrow - I am all innnnn. Thank you hashnode.
Woohoo!! 🚀 Good luck with the challenge Andrew James Okpainmo.
Eleftheria Batsou hi 👋, my article dropped just as promised. It came in late last night. . But I have a question. . The rules stated that we should share on social media with the relevant tags and also to mention hashnode right. What if I submit the article before the deadline but do the social media sharing after the deadline. Does it cancel my submission? Must everything be done before the weekly deadline? . Or it's ok to submit before the weekly deadline and still go ahead with the social media sharing after the weekly deadline.
Can I talk about how I got my first job as a Software Engineer in the first week's thread? The topic specifically mentions Developer so I just wanted to confirm.
Yes, do write about that! We'd love to read your story!
Awesome. Thanks!
Sounds interesting. Maybe this is a good way for me to continue writing articles again :)
Yes! And I'm quite confident you have some nice stories to share 🚀
Oh wow cool! I thought that we might have to build some apps which would have taken a lot of time. But this seems pretty straightforward I just might join in on the fun 😁
Hey Andrew Baisden, do join us in this writeathon, you write beautifully and... you don't have to build any project!
It's still summer and we don't want any hard challenges!
Thanks for writing this article. I have been trying to inspire myself to get started blogging on Hashnode. The writeathon looks like a great opportunity, and this article explains the requirements, expectations, and intended outcomes well. Thank you for sharing the information!
What great motivation to write consistently AND possibly win some cash! get-vidmateapp.com get-mobdroapk.com
I'm glad you find it helpful Marki! I'm wishing you the best of luck with the writeathon!! ✨
Thankyou! Eleftheria Batsou
Done for the first week, here is the article. Nice writeathon, I hope I'll make it through the 4 weeks.
It's all about consistency, and this writeathon focuses on that!
I'm wishing you all the best for the 4 articles, you got this!!
Eleftheria Batsou And here is 2nd one
Eleftheria Batsou here is 3rd one techwatching.hashnode.dev/how-did-i-automa… One article by week is definitely challenging. It takes me a while usually to write, review, and publish an article
Eleftheria Batsou and here is the 4th one: techwatching.hashnode.dev/discussion-about…
Amazing writeathon. Kickstarted my blog with the first post as my submission!
That's amazing, good luck with the next 3 articles!!
And nice to have you in the hashnode community :)
Thank you so much! Eleftheria Batsou
While getting ready to post this week's article, I realized I used #4weeks4articles tag instead of #4articles4weeks. I corrected it, but was wondering if this will cause any issues in terms of the writeathon?
Regardless, I am using the writeathon to help me start writing more consistently! 😀
We created this writeathon to help people be consistent and I'm glad you're using it!
It's ok that you changed the hashtags, it won't affect your participation!
Good luck with the rest of the hackathon!
This is a great idea. I love it and I am definitely getting started on my first article today.
Yes! What topic did you pick?
since i joined , haven't published nothing... Great opportunity to start
Yes, it's a great opportunity to make more people follow you and find your content... who knows, maybe even win some cash! 😻
That's great! I started my journey and shared my week1's article 🎉 Can't wait for the next ones. 🤘🏻 Thank you hashnode 🚀
I just read it 🙌, great tips Irem!
This is super awesome and I cannot wait to participate. I have a question: do we have creative freedom over our topic titles as long as the content of the article relates to the subject being discussed for that week, and are slight deviations allowed and encouraged as long as it relates to the theme?
The answer to both questions is yes!
You can change the title (please do it 😅) and you can slightly deviate from the original topic.
Eleftheria Batsou Does it have to be about tech as in how I became a software engineer etc? Or it can be about tech In general.
Like I want to write about my own experiences and how I used tech in it.
Does that work?
Yes, that counts too!
Good luck and looking forward to read your articles :)
Can the 4th-week article be non-tech - movie review?
I have a blog post I would like to share, here: My Coding Experience So Far with Scratch
I will be joining the challenge for sure, good luck everyone!
I will be joining the challenge for sure, good luck everyone!
This is very exciting! I'm looking forward to reading amazing articles by the community and write some myself 🔥🔥 Really recommend new bloggers to do this challenge to start developing consistent writing habits!
I hasn't been so active lately I am reading about the challenge now, but the suggested topics are so good that I am tempted to give a try.
Any way thanks for sharing and good look to all the participants.
We're glad that you like this writeathon.
make sure to catch the final deadline and good luck!
