Best articles of 2023 😎
I have selected the following articles according to the number of readers on dev.to and Hashnode, or whether they have won a badge or a prize.
Price winning and featured article
My best winning article 🏆 of 2023 was How debugging for accessibility helped me finally understand useRef, originally written for the Hashnode DebuggingFeb Hackathon.
It got almost 1300 views on Hashnode and 272 views on dev.to, and got featured on Hashnode, which led to a big win at the Hackathon I am proud of.
I loved writing it as it was about accessibility, which always comes with an ease.
Article with most readers
My best article with the most readers, over 13k was HTML can do this? Part 1.
I am delighted that the article about the possibilities of HTML has been so well received. Hopefully many readers will implement some of these suggestions and make the web a little more accessible.
Price winning article
The most read article on Hashnode with 1400 readers, and runner-up 🏅 in the MindsDB x Hashnode Hackathon, was Develop Interview-Winning Portfolio Projects with MindsDB Predictions.

I did not make any improvements to the project since then, but the idea is still cool, I believe.
Best articles of all time
Best article is How To Create A Timer With React from 2022, with over 100k readers.
How To Create A Stunning GitHub Profile from 2021, is still in the Top 3, with 40k views on dev.to.
