Copy your code block
At the beginning of this year we implemented a small but effective update that you may have missed: you can now copy your code blocks directly in HackMD.
This feature enables users to interact with their code by allowing them to copy source code from code blocks and rendered blocks (mermaid.js, etc) with the single click of a button. Take a look 👇
🎉 Holiday giveaway winner
This past holiday season, we launched our biggest giveaway yet: one year of HackMD Prime free for one lucky winner. This giveaway celebrated another amazing year with our incredible community of creators, collaborators, and innovators.
During the month of December, HackMD users had the chance to participate in our 2024 Holiday Giveaway by interacting with us on our social media and showing off their workspaces.
A user was picked at random and now, we’re thrilled to announce the winner of the giveaway: BillyGrass! They are a long-time user and we are so glad to have their support.
Congratulations, BillyGrass! We’ll be reaching out with details about your prize.
To everyone who participated, thank you for making HackMD a part of your journey and if you missed it then be on the lookout for our next giveaway.
