Featured event cards have a date overlay in the top left corner. We advise avoiding logos or text there.
Hackster Sponsored Article
Sponsored articles are written by you and posted as a Hackster News article. You'll send over a Word doc with your article write-up and a Hackster admin will import it to our editor, creating a draft version for your review. Hackster News articles have similar editor features as our project editor, so you can include links, bulleted lists, images, social post embed (Twitter, Instagram) or embed a video (a YouTube link or URL from a mP4 hosted elsewhere).
You'll also need to provide:
"Hero image" for your article topper: Both 16:9 ratio and 1:1 ratio versions
Any additional images you'd like to include in the article body, sent as separate files
Title, limit 100 characters
Summary, limit 140 characters
Up to 5 topic tags from Hackster's existing tag list. To see if the tags exist yet, work with your Hackster admin.
Products to be tagged, if any. The product will need to first be uploaded to your Hackster platform hub in order to be searchable.
Author information:
Name (person or company)
Hyperlink
1:1 image (usually company logo)
