These could be performance issues, documentation problems, small niggles or even a UX issue you faced. File away with no holds barred.

The most number of bugs reported before 30th September, 2020 earns you $1000.

What is Appsmith?

Appsmith is a low code way to build internal tools. It's the only open source alternative to Microsoft Power Apps, Salesforce Lightning platform, Service Now platform and many more.

With Appsmith, you can:

  1. Create a page using pre-built UI components like table, charts, map viewers and forms.
  2. Connect the UI components to any REST API or databases like MySQL, Postgres, and MongoDB. Write any logic in JS.
  3. Deploy the interal tool to a custom URL and invite users to sign in with their Google acounts.

Why Participate?

Recently, one of our users expressed their love & frustration with Appsmith on Twitter.

We are an open source project because we believe that software built in the open becomes better. This user's tweet clearly shows that our code has issues and as a small team we can't find them all.

Also, lots of folks want to contribute to OSS but they aren't developers or just don't know how to begin. That's why we are starting our journey by rewarding users for simply reporting bugs.

If that wasn't incentive enough, we have some prizes to sweeten the deal:

1 Grand prize for most number of qualified bugs

  • $1000 USD gift card or equivalent
  • Earn an Appsmith badge
  • Recognition on our README page

10 Runner up prizes

  • $50 USD gift card or equivalent
  • Earn an Appsmith badge
  • Recognition on our README page
You need to report a minimum of 2 bugs to qualify.
