2.0	Hacker Noon's current version! Built from scratch via Firebase, SlateJS, Algolia and many other softwares (learn more about our tech stack here), Hacker Noon 2.0 is a living, breathing work-in-progress that allows writers to submit and edit drafts, editors to manage submission, readers to enjoy content without paywall, and advertisers to reach users in elegant, non-intrusive ways. Stories from 1.0 are also hosted here.
🎯 Ad by tag	A form of sponsorship on Hacker Noon that allows brands to surface their ad on chosen tag(s) and at the bottom of stories with those tag(s). Learn more here.
AMAs	Ask me anything! Hacker Noon's community occasionally does AMAs.
📝 Annotation	In partnership with Gun, Hacker Noon prototyped an interface to allow readers to highlight text on any story page to write a short explanation. We've since paused the partnership due to some technical difficulties using the Gun database.
