🌟 Partnership Announcement
We’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with the OpenJS Foundation! 🌐✨
HackMD is teaming up with OpenJS to support open source maintainers and contributors with real-time Markdown collaboration — helping them create, share, and document projects more efficiently than ever.
Built on core OpenJS technologies like Node.js, Express.js, Webpack, ESLint, Lodash, Mocha, and Moment, HackMD’s platform is deeply connected to the same ecosystem it’s now empowering. By donating HackMD Pro workspaces to OpenJS projects, we’re helping maintainers focus less on overhead and more on innovation.
Together, we’re strengthening the foundation of open source collaboration — one note at a time.
