Research direction

Start with docs/first-contribution.md, then copy the structure of lib/social/templates/telegram.ts or substack.ts and register the new template in lib/social/registry.ts, typed by lib/social/types.ts. Set the Hashnode cover to 1600 x 840 using brand tokens only, with light and dark variants. Done when the template shows in the Social Media Studio list and ZIP export, and the template tests pass with a 60 character name and website, after running pnpm typecheck, test, lint, format:check, check:dashes and build.

Description

area: social difficulty: easy enhancement good first issue

Summary

Add a Hashnode cover at 1600 x 840.

Where to look

  • docs/first-contribution.md (a full walkthrough of adding a template)
  • lib/social/templates/telegram.ts and substack.ts: recent templates to copy
  • lib/social/registry.ts and lib/social/types.ts

Acceptance criteria

  • The template appears in the Social Media Studio list and in the ZIP export.
  • Text and logo stay inside the safe area, also with a 60 character name and website (the template tests check this automatically).
  • Brand tokens only, light and dark.

Getting started: fork the repo, then pnpm install and pnpm dev (Node 22+, pnpm 11, no API keys). Before opening a PR, run pnpm typecheck && pnpm test && pnpm lint && pnpm format:check && pnpm check:dashes && pnpm build. See CONTRIBUTING.md and the first contribution walkthrough.
