History

Hackaday was founded in 2004 by Phillip Torrone as a web magazine for Engadget, devoted to publishing and archiving "the best hacks, mods and DIY projects from around web".[2] Hackaday was since split from Engadget and its former parent company Weblogs, Inc. by its at the time owner Jason Calacanis.[5][6] In 2007 Computerworld magazine ranked Hackaday #10 on their list of the top 15 geek blog sites.[7]

Hackaday.io started as a project hosting site in 2014[8] under the name of Hackaday Projects.[9] It has now grown into a social network of 100,000 members[10]

In 2015, Hackaday's owner, Supplyframe, acquired the hardware marketplace Tindie.[11]

In 2021, Hackaday's owner, Supplyframe, was acquired by Siemens.[12]
