note: >-
  There is no API, so there is no API versioning, deprecation or sunset policy to record.
  What HackerNoon does operate is a public uptime dashboard, and one dated forward-looking
  commitment published to machines in llms.txt.
status_page:
  present: true
  url: https://status.hackernoon.com
  status: 200
  vendor: Checkly (checkly-dashboards.com)
  rendering: client-side
  note: >-
    Real, provider-operated status dashboard. The served HTML is a 1,223-byte Nuxt shell
    whose inline config points at api.checklyhq.com, so the incident history renders only in
    a browser; the page itself is genuinely served by HackerNoon on its own subdomain.
versioning:
  scheme: none-published
  current_version: null
  note: No API, no version scheme, no version header or path segment on any public surface.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  rfc8594: false
  note: >-
    No deprecation or sunset policy is published, and no RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation headers
    were observed. The company DOES retire surfaces without notice: llms.txt still advertises
    https://hackernoon.com/ai-licensing, which 308-redirects to the site root, and robots.txt
    still advertises https://hackernoon.com/llms-full.txt (308 to root) and
    https://business.hackernoon.com/ai-licensing (404).

    status: 403
    note: >-
      HackerNoon publishes immutable story backups to the Arweave permaweb, per its GitHub
      organization profile. The subdomain answers a Cloudflare interstitial to non-browser
      clients, so the surface was not readable in this pass.

    - item: Live content feed API
      target: Q3 2026
      source: https://hackernoon.com/llms.txt
      status: not shipped as of 2026-08-22
      note: >-
        The only dated API commitment HackerNoon has published. It appears in llms.txt under
        "What's available" for AI licensing, addressed to machines rather than on a roadmap page.
