LaunchWakeCan I post my startup on freeCodeCamp News?
You can share here directly, provided you follow the format. Posts are rarely removed when they lead with substance instead of a pitch.
Why the ban risk is low
- Built for sharing what you made — no promo-specific restrictions beyond the format.
The rules, in plain English
How to post here safely
- Publish a real, useful article; keep any product mention to one CTA at the end.
- Canonical-link to your own blog and disclose affiliation.
- Don't make the post a thin wrapper around a sales pitch — editors reject it.
Account requirements
- Apply via the Publication Style Guide with links to 3 articles you've already written — only a small percentage are approved.
- Once accepted you publish through their Hashnode publication; every article needs both the Hashnode submission AND an email to editorial.
- Pitch tutorials that teach the problem space — this is an educational publication, not a launch board.
