Announcement: Project Hub is evolving
Encouraging people to share projects and tutorials has always been central to Arduino’s mission of democratizing technology. Learning from the work of others is very important as we always felt that most makers like to start from an existing project and evolve from their own creation. If you’ve been following Arduino for a while you know we went through a few tools in our history, from “Playground” to “Scuola” arriving at our current “Project Hub” in search of always simpler and better ways to share.
In 2014, we collaborated with Hackster.io to establish “Project Hub”, based on the Hackster platform. Together we grew a space that hosts thousands of well-documented projects submitted by all of you. Although this partnership is very important to us, Arduino will move Project Hub in-house. Building our own project sharing platform allows us to further integrate with Arduino Cloud and better align with our new features.
Here’s what to expect: The new Project Hub will launch in beta on December 29th and will be available at the address: https://projecthub.arduino.cc — bookmark it now! The old Project Hub will no longer be available after the end of December.
If you have created your projects with an Arduino account they will be automatically migrated to the new platform with this schedule:
- Phase 1: Projects created before August 2022 will be available on the new platform on January 1, 2023.
- Phase 2: New projects created between September 2022 and December 2022 will be available on the new platform on February 1, 2023.
If you’ve used your Hackster.io account you’ll have to re-register on Arduino and transfer them manually.
We are planning an amazing competition with great prizes to encourage users to share even more projects. We really want to break all the records. Stay tuned for the details that will be announced in January.
We want to thank Hackster.io for all the help and support throughout the years and we can’t wait to continue exploring our partnership, bringing more engaging activities to our global communities.
FAQs
Q: Where can I find the new Arduino Project Hub platform ?
A: It will be available at the same address as it is today: https://projecthub.arduino.cc
Q: I don’t see my project on the new platform; it was on the previous platform. Why?
A: The new Arduino Project Hub platform has been populated with projects that had been created on the previous platform by users having an Arduino account; if a user created their project on the Hackster.io website, their projects will not be automatically imported.
Q: I had an Arduino account and I had created my project on Arduino Project Hub (not on Hackster.io website); however, my project is not on the new platform. Why?
A: The migration to the new Project Hub platform is happening in two phases.
- Phase 1: Projects created before August 2022 will be available on the new platform on January 1, 2023.
- Phase 2: New projects created between September 2022 and December 2022 will be available on the new platform on February 1, 2023.
Q: I have a project on the Hackster platform that I want to port to the new Arduino Project Hub platform. How can I do it ?
A: In order to use the new platform, you will have to create an Arduino account. After that you will be able to use the button “New Project” to create a new project with all its content and attachments. The new platform provides the same editing capabilities, and the same support for attached files.
Q: I created an account on Arduino’s Project Hub. Why do I have a Hackster account?
A: Arduino’s Project Hub was a white label service of the Hackster platform. When you created an account on Arduino’s page, a mirrored account was created on Hackster. This allowed you to submit projects and interact with other projects on Project Hub.
