Habr

Habr (since 2018; formerly Habrahabr) (Russian: Хабр, Хабрахабр) is a Russian collaborative blog about IT, computer science and anything related to the Internet, owned by TechMedia. Habrahabr was founded in June 2006, and the English section of Habr was launched in 2019. Habr is often compared to other technology sites, such as Engadget or Hacker News. The parent company of the site, Habr Blockchain Publishing, developed a group of websites ("Habr Q&A" qna.habr.com, "Habr Career" career.habr.com, "Habr Freelance" freelance.habr.com after they developed habrahabr.ru). In 2007, Habrahabr received two nominations in the ROTOR contest (Russian: РОТОР), which awards prizes to Russian-language web projects. It was nominated for Discovery of the Year (Russian: Открытие года) and Online Community of the Year (Russian: Интернет-сообщество года) prizes. The website's author, Denis Kryuchkov, was nominated for the Producer of the Year prize (Russian: Продюсер года). In 2009, the website was again nominated for the Online Community of the Year prize.
