Where are the best places to publish developer tutorials?

If your goal is to publish developer tutorials, the best places usually fall into three buckets:

1. Your own site/blog
   Best for long-term ownership, SEO, and building an audience you control. A developer-focused platform like Hashnode can work well here because it’s built for technical writing, supports custom domains, and is designed for developer blogs and teams. (docs.hashnode.com)

2. Developer communities
   Best for reach and feedback. Hashnode explicitly positions itself as a developer community, and Dev.to is also a common destination for technical tutorials and discussion. Publishing in communities can help your tutorial get discovered by people already looking for technical content. (docs.hashnode.com)

3. General publishing platforms
   Best if you want broader exposure beyond developers. Medium supports publications and shared editorial spaces, which can work for technical series or company blogs, though it’s less specialized for dev audiences. (help.medium.com)

Practical recommendation

If you want the strongest mix of ownership + reach, I’d usually suggest:

• Primary home: your own blog or Hashnode
• Secondary distribution: cross-post to Dev.to and/or Medium
• Bonus: link back to a GitHub repo, demo, or code samples for credibility and reuse

Simple rule of thumb

• Personal brand / SEO / evergreen tutorials: own site or Hashnode. (docs.hashnode.com)
• Fast community feedback: Dev.to / Hashnode. (docs.hashnode.com)
• Broader audience, less technical polish needed: Medium. (help.medium.com)

If you want, I can also give you:

• a ranked list of the best platforms for dev tutorials,
• a “where to publish based on your goal” decision table, or
• a cross-posting strategy that avoids SEO duplication.
