Seasons greetings, Hackers! As the year 2024 came to a close, we took a moment to reflect on how YOU—our growing community of curious readers and talented writers—engaged with our platform. And what better place to start than by examining how you made use of our search feature last year? Most Searched Tags on HackerNoon in 2024 Back in August, we announced that our tag pages had been revamped for the first time since launching HackerNoon 2.0 in 2019. This update made it easier to discover stories in various niches, and with over 11,000 stories published across 22 tech categories in 2024, we were curious about the tags that piqued your interest the most. So, without further ado, here are the 15 most searched tags of 2024: Tag

7389 It’s fascinating to see what’s capturing the attention of our readers! Profit and Google top the list, reflecting a keen interest in business and tech. Token economy also stands out, pointing to a growing curiosity around blockchain and cryptocurrency. React and GitHub making the list suggests that we house a healthy developer audience actively seeking tools and resources to improve their projects. It’s also interesting to see terms like Uber, customers, and bootstrapped demonstrating an ongoing interest in entrepreneurship and startup culture. Overall, the data highlights a mixed bag of interests, slightly skewed towards innovation and practical business strategies. But wait, there’s more!

Then, we have "ball" (637 searches) — football, soccer? Maybe “Laura” (359 searches) knows since she’s clearly in high demand. And who could forget the “garage” (315 searches) — starting a band, anyone? Finally, we’ve got "meta-burger" (185 searches) — seriously, if Zuckerberg has figured out a way to turn virtual food tangible, someone better tell me right now! And of course, “orange” (361 searches)—ah! the great debate: what came first, the fruit or the color? As we wrap up the year and reflect on these search trends, it's clear that HackerNoon continues to be a place where curiosity thrives. In the new year, we hope to continue serving all your interests—niche or otherwise.
