Hackaday is a blog which publishes several articles each day about hardware and software hacks. A hack refers to modifications of a product or software as well as the creation of something entirely new for convenience, novelty, functional or creative reasons. Hackaday also has a YouTube channel where it posts projects and how-to videos.
History
Hackaday was founded in 2004 as a web magazine for Engadget devoted to publishing and archiving "the best hacks, mods and DIY (do it yourself) projects from around web".[2] The Jolly Wrencher, Hackaday's logo, was designed by Phillip Torrone, the spouse of Adafruit founder Limor Fried. Torrone also wrote the first article for the website.[3] Hackaday has since split from Engadget and is currently powered by Wordpress.com.[4]
Hackaday.io
Hackaday.io started as a project hosting site in early 2014 under the name of Hackaday Projects[5] to provide a hosting space for documenting hardware and software projects. It has now grown into a social network of over 350,000 members[6]
Accolades
In 2007 Computerworld magazine ranked Hackaday #10 on their list of the top 15 geek blog sites.[7]
