About this app
Hackers' Pub is the social network built for software engineers. Write long-form articles or short posts in Markdown — with syntax highlighting, diagrams, math expressions, and more — and share them across the entire fediverse.
This is an open-source, ActivityPub-enabled platform where developers share knowledge and experience. No ads, no engagement tricks. Just great technical content from people you choose to follow.

BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS
Unlike general-purpose social networks, Hackers' Pub treats code as a first-class citizen. Your code blocks aren't just monospaced text — they come with full syntax highlighting, line annotations, diff views, and more. Write a technical article the way it's meant to be read.
FEDERATED, NOT SILOED
Hackers' Pub is built on ActivityPub, the same open protocol that powers Mastodon and the rest of the fediverse. Your followers on Mastodon can read your articles in their home feed. You can follow anyone on any compatible server. No walled gardens, no lock-in.
OPEN SOURCE
Hackers' Pub is free and open-source software, licensed under AGPL-3.0. You can read the code, contribute, or run your own instance. Built with Fedify, the TypeScript framework for ActivityPub.
