We Listen, We Don't Judge: Here Are 11 HackerNoon Editor Features Writers Keep Missing
Discover 11 HackerNoon Editor 3.0 and Chowa features writers often overlook, from co-authors and preview links to sticky notes, embeds, and code formatting.
HackerNoon editor features often go unnoticed by writers, but these eleven tips highlight some lesser-known capabilities designed to streamline the writing, organizing, and submitting process. Co-authoring is as simple as adding a collaborator in story settings, allowing multiple contributors to maintain proper credit. Linking future stories before they publish is useful for series or tutorial content, with a temporary preview link auto-relinking to the published version once live.
Checking the inbox within story settings can help avoid unnecessary rejection fears, as editors may have already provided feedback there. Sticky notes serve as personal organization tools without submitting alongside the story. Feature images are essential for engaging readers, and selecting relevant prompts for image generation enhances the visual appeal of articles. Editor 3.0's Markdown syntax offers shortcuts for formatting, and code blocks should be properly formatted to benefit from syntax highlighting.
When attributing stories originally published elsewhere, indicate this status in the settings to ensure proper credit. Hierarchy is crucial for readability, with H2 used for main section headers and H3 for subheadings inside those sections. Finally, embedding links allows for interactive content without disrupting the reader's flow, with options to include videos, transcripts, or both in the embedded content.
