Great hackathon!! We at Rowy (an open-source low-code backend platform on Google Cloud and Firebase) want to support this as well 🙌
We will add $500 to the grand prize winner's amount 😍 - if the winning entry uses Rowy for managing their database or to build automation using Rowy's APIs/Webhooks/Cloud Functions in low-code 💜
Check out Rowy demos and message us on Discord
is it real ?
Well Harini is the CEO and Founder of Rowy so why doubt?
I have the same question. I'm interested in seeing some unconventional use cases of codespaces.
Yes it is real :) You can use hosting platform like Firebase easily - depending on what you are building - you can use Codespaces for building your app frontend, have your database on Firestore - manage it easily on Rowy's CMS and when your app is ready you can host it on Firebase hosting with custom domain etc.
@yuhuishishishi I'm curious to know what "unconventional use cases" mean to you when it comes to Codespaces. Do tell!
I mean cases when it is not used solely as a coding environment. E.g., (I am not sure if this is achievable), maybe on a PR, click a button to start a codespace as a temporary deployment of the app, expose the ports and let your team mates to preview changes in a full automatic away.
Rowy needs a bit of visual programming in their life :)

This will be a fun one
I'm wondering how I can use Codespaces for more than just setting up a development environment. Should I host my web app with another provider?
Codespaces is similar to your local IDE, so you're not able to host an application with it.
You can use Netlify, GitHub Pages, GCP, AWS and other services to host your app. Codespaces allows you to code in the cloud instantly - its a dev environment hosted in the cloud. So you can build your application, just as you would locally, without needing to set anything up on your machine.
Read more about Codespaces here: docs.github.com/en/codespaces/over...
Thanks for this explanation. I was thinking that GitHub Codespace had another usecases apart of hosting and configure a dev environment in the cloud.
I test it, and it looks like VSCode :)
It's very cool
Hi 👋 I know we are all busy, but maybe a follow up on when results will be announced could help :) hope I didn’t miss it, anyway it’s not straightforward where results are announced :)
Hey there, sorry for the delay! The GitHub and DEV teams needed a bit more time for judging, so announcements were delayed! Winners will be announced on 6/13!
And where can we see the post regarding winners?
This is literally the first post I see after the initial results announcement date and I saw it by coincidence 😁
I'd love too some updates thank you 😊. If things are that tight for the organizers, a roughly estimated week perhaps? Hope any of the organizers sees this 🤞
Agreed, would love to hear some update on this!
Woohoo, so exciting! Can't wait to see what you all build!
Sounds great! Count me in ;)
Awesome
Looking forward to seeing your entry.
Today's June 8 and the winners has not been announced.
Hey there, sorry for the delay! The GitHub and DEV teams needed a bit more time for judging, so announcements were delayed! Winners will be announced on 6/13!
Submission published :D dev.to/jbrocher/ai-powered-automat... . A small github action to automatically generate PR Bodies and refactoring suggestions based on the diff. OpenAI powered of course to be fashionable.
It was a great opportunity to get my hands dirty with prompt engineering.
Nice project! So we've got an AI-powered tool showdown, huh? 🤖✨ My project is also AI powered as many others, I start to see a trend lol
Thanks ! Yup our submissions look pretty similar haha. To be honest I just quickly threw mine together after stumbling onto this post, I didn't really take the time to check what was already out there. I might have abstained if I saw you GA before I started working on mine, sorry 😅.
Your project is great, I'm going through your repo right now. This is my first time making a custom Github action and working with OpenAI, so it's great to be able to check how you went about things.
If I find the time to continue working on this before the deadline, I guess I'll try to focus the feature I add around problems that are specific to a Pull Request since yours is focused on issues. Although I'd like to try and and add some automatic labeling as well if that's all right with you!
Maybe we'll find a way to merge the two project afterwards (or at least the prompts) to end up with an AI powered repo management toolkit !
No need for sorry, you misunderstood me. Your submission is fine. Mine addresses different problems while yours focuses on pull requests. I've seen that many people have found lots of creative ways to use AI, and that's what I meant. You can implement whatever feature you like, don't limit yourself. Feel free to use any idea. I'm excited to work together if you're interested in collaborating.
Wow I have already started thinking of what could be built. Most probably in the last category 😂
And btw its almost a month to submit the entries, and I have tried to prepare a structured approach which can be beneficial for this use case
Check it here in my DEV post dev.to/zubairanwarkhan/30-day-plan...

All the best 💯
What languages?
Thanks for catching this! We'll fix this typo shortly. There's no language restriction or requirement. Feel free to use anything that fits the Hackathon category descriptions!
nice, is it necessary to create a new repo for the application or I can use an existing repo?
You can use an existing repo but you'll need to show what you've built for the hackathon, ie. tell us what's new, what was existing.
sounds great, thank you!
Psyched to give this a shot! I have an idea for the "wildcard" category, and I'm wondering if we're still required to use Github Actions or Codespace to implement it (e.g. deploy it in a Codespace)?
Without giving away too much, the project I'm thinking about is very Github-focused and would make significant use of the Github API to interact with different repos.
That's what I'm wondering as well.
Is GPLv3 license allowed?
git check it out: OpenCommit — GitHub Action to improve commits with meaningful messages on every git pushPlease take a look at my work in progress submission

I am curious on what some projects can be built on top of / using github codespace.
I can imagine you can build different workflows by utilizing actions.
Wondering what are some interesting use cases of codespaces, besides using it as a dev environment.
Here's a blogpost on unexpected capabilities of Codespaces: github.blog/2023-02-28-10-things-y...
Still haven't gotten what the hackathon is all about, I need someone who can work me through this
Just in the same pot here.
WOW, I think it was a great opportunity!

MooptOS: Open IoT Platform for Decentralized Urban Farming #GitHubHack23 submission published. It is an open Internet-of-Things (IoT) platform, consists of modular software and hardware, for decentralized urban farming.
We leverage Github Codespaces for an automation workflows in application deployment, i.e. setup environment, testing and running at localhost (nodejs, meteorjs, blazejs, johnnyfivejs, webixjs, PWA ready, ... etc). At the same time, we're using Github Actions for deployment testing.
As it is built within a very short time period from scratch, our PoC was built purely based on temperature sensor only. Our prototype can currently helping the users to deploy a real-time Water Temperature monitoring system based on open hardware like Arduino with DS18B20 sensor, as well as open software like MeteorJS and JohnnyFiveJS.
Step-by-step to Click & Launch a Real-time Water Temperature Monitoring system based on Arduino & MeteorJS at Github Codespaces
Submitted the entry for the Hackathon. Please refer the submission details here
I've created a Github action workflow to trigger the Terraform validation and infra deployment of Kubernetes in minikube cluster. Check this out and share you're thoughts folks.
Done!
I've open-sourced my AI-powered GitHub Action that posts change logs directly into Slack every Monday morning
Hi, being a guy into operations as well I'm thinking to setup a project and integrate multiple GitHub actions & scripts over the repository to demo on what can be done to make some automations in any open-source project, like in issues, PRs and more.
Would that be considered a valid project? Thanks

Does a backend only project qualify? Do I need to build out a frontend?
You can build what you want!
Where can one Apply to participate?
Read the rules above and you can participate. You only need to build something on GitHub, make sure it's open source, and then write a post about it.
good luck to anyone participating!
