Who is it for?
This competition is a no-code / low-code hack for product developers, founders, designers or developers wanting to test and build rapidly. You do not need to know how to code to get involved.
What can people build?
Builders will be able to do everything from building:
A check-in app that rewards a user based on their proximity to an event or specific location
A way to automatically reward users with a digital twin of a product when they buy it
A fully fledged rewards system for an education app with missions, XP, a leaderboard and an achievement ladder
A way to integrate rewards and leaderboards into any existing applications as a new user engagement mechanism
And so much more… We’re going to be sharing a whole host of content to help people get started and to inspire what’s possible.
