01History
Hackaday was founded in 2004 by Phillip Torrone as a web magazine for Engadget, devoted to publishing and archiving "the best hacks, mods and DIY projects from around web". Hackaday was since split from Engadget and its former parent company Weblogs, Inc. by its at the time owner Jason Calacanis. In 2007 Computerworld magazine ranked Hackaday #10 on their list of the top 15 geek blog sites.

In 2015, Hackaday's owner, Supplyframe, acquired the hardware marketplace Tindie.
In 2021, Hackaday's owner, Supplyframe, was acquired by Siemens.
