We are super excited to announce the winners of the #AWSAmplifyHackathon. Over four weeks throughout September, many unique projects were built using the #AWSAmplify services. It was tough to pick the winners, but we are proud of the result and our amazing community, which always provides the best open-source projects! 🥳

All the entries were individually judged (one by one by the Hashnode and AWS Amplify teams) based on creativity, product thinking, UI/UX, code quality, article completeness, and comprehensibility. We were glad to see that many of you implemented our best practices described in the announcement hackathon article.
