Announcing the Budibase Hackathon - Over $5K in prizes 🎉
There's a new opportunity to level up your software development skills and contribute to open-source while educating others and earning incredible prizes.
From October 1 until October 25, Budibase is offering developers an unmissable opportunity to build and contribute integrations and components to benefit open source in exchange for prizes. Read on for more details about Budibase and how you can join the hackathon.
❓ What is Budibase?
Budibase is an open-source low-code platform that helps developers build internal apps in minutes. With over 1 million downloads and 15,000 Github stars, Budibase is one of the leading open source platforms in the world. Recently, we launched Budibase 2.0, which allows users to build their own custom components and integrations 🚀.
💁🏽 Why Participate?
It's Hacktoberfest! We also wanted to emphasize that Budibase integrations and components are a perfect open source access point. We also think the prizes on offer make for a pretty compelling case to participate in the Budibase Hackathon 2022 😉.
We're encouraging participants to build Budibase integrations and components for this year's hackathon. We hope you'll walk away with a greater understanding of Budibase and the importance of low-code and extensibility for you and the open source community.
We're excited to see how you approach this challenge.

Hi there, this post might fit better as a DEV Listing. It’s a dedicated area of the platform where community members and organizations are encouraged to publish information related to events, products, services, job listings, and everything in between.
Good idea!
