Prize: AirPods Pros (2nd gen)
Incredibly strong project that's not only feature-complete but also aesthetically pleasing. From the 🐢 in the intro screen, the food menu with 3D items, to the sleek catalog page that makes you want to go to the board game cafe right meow. GGWP, Pineapple!
#💌 Best "Stoop Sale" Hack: 1st Place 🥇

Website: https://brooklyn-stoop.vercel.app 🌱

Prize: Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses
While deceptively simple at first glance, the judges quickly realized that this checked all the boxes in an e-commerce store. "I think this one is just rock solid. Can't do much more in 24 hrs." - one of the web dev judges. Great landing page with FAQs and About page with video; it's mobile responsive and even has a search bar. Congrats, Code Riders!

Website: https://stoop-sale.vercel.app 🌱
Tools: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Vercel
Prize: Peak Desk Everyday Totepack
The cute intro screen and the bubble heads say it all... you're invited to a DIY stoop sale! And sometimes less is more, a one-pager with a jazzy BGM and a cardboard background that ties it together. Lil & Chelsea loved that this won!

#Digital Badges + Limited Edition Items
On top of the prize pool, we are giving out a rare Achievement Badge to every hacker that made it to the finish line (submitted a project):
You can find it on your Codédex User Profile (i.e., @sonny) and via email from Accredible.
And if that's not enough, we added two new limited edition items to our Merch Shop: Summer Hackathon poster (signed) + Summer Hackathon beach towel! 🏖️
#And... that's a wrap!
From the bottom of my heart and the whole Codédex team, THANK YOU to all 259 teams (!) that submitted a project for our first-ever Summer Hackathon. There were so many beauuutiful projects that completely blew us away — every one of you is seriously impressive and deserves a big pat on the back.
Shoutout to the judges (Jack, Cat, Wyatt, Juan, Emmy, Miracle) for volunteering their time and reviewing all the projects and to our sponsors (Wix Studio, .xyz, Jam, Sip & Play, Wolfram) for bringing this to life with us.
This was a huge milestone and we are beyond grateful to have you as part of our growing community. We also learned so much and aim to do it bigger and better next time~ ✨
Hope you all have a great rest of your summer! 🫶
