Top 3 announced. Every shipper gets their premium month.
The rules
Short and honest.
Solo or teams up to 3 — vibe coding rewards the solo builder just as much.
Real and working — it has to load and do the core thing it claims. Not a mockup.
Built during the jam — start fresh at kickoff. Bring ideas, not finished code.
Build what you love — the boldest, most creative work wins.
Ready
Build something
worth showing.

Free account, free AI, a weekend, and a room full of builders. Ship it and the premium is yours.
