Literally Everything the Hacker Noon Dev Team Did in 2019

by Austin PocusJanuary 27th, 2020

Too Long; Didn't Read

Below is a list of every PR that was merged at Hacker Noon in 2019. In the coming weeks, expect to see regular product updates with a bit more context. Some PR numbers are skipped because the PR was not merged, or the PR closed/merged before or after 2019. Some numbers are out of sequence -- this indicates a PR was closed a while after it was opened. The list is a dump of commit messages I put together in 15-20 minutes in just over a few minutes.
