Coming up with project ideas for a hackathon is tough work, but we got you covered!
Hi! I'm Ale (Ah-Lay), a Mexican back-end Software Engineer with experience in the automotive and manufacturing industry. I specialize in Java and very recently started my journey to learn front-end development.
I'm particularly enjoying making CSS art, which I share on my Twitter & CodePen.
These ideas are superb in this season (tho I picked mine already)! Good luck to everyone ✌✌✌
Hey Ale Thomas, thanks for the mention!
I could not find the time to get Neates/Geonotes to production, but had an incredible time working with Hasura. The hackathon sounds super interesting, I'll probably join and submit my own project, hope you all will too!
Of course, and thank you! I liked how you shared parts of your process-would love to see your contribution to the Hackathon!
The Breaking Apps Hackathon ran for four weeks, sponsored by Bug0. The brief was simple: write Passmark tests for any web app, then publish a Hashnode article about what you found. The entries made th

As you may already know, Hashnode is hosting a 3rd consecutive hackathon this month—this time partnering with Hasura, a powerful and free GraphQL server that helps you accelerate API and back-end development instantly. You can participate by building an open-source app or API using Hasura and documenting your process on Hashnode for a chance to win one of a total of 15 cash prizes!
Sounds pretty straightforward, but we know coming up with ideas for things to build can get tough, so don't worry, we got your back. 😉
In this article, we'll list some project options and tutorials you can take inspiration from to start building and winning big:
To-Do list apps are common go-to projects for developers of all levels of expertise. Building one with Hasura makes everything even easier by facilitating the creation of a GraphQL API.
