Do it, you won'tRules
You can build whatever you want as long as it's a web app
Could be a game, app for an idea you have, some sort of useful tool, etc...
Frontend must be JavaScript/Typescript
Backend can be another technology, but we encourage use of Node.js
You can form teams or go solo
All commits must be open-source in Version Control
Judging will be scored on
Creativity
Try to think of something interesting to you, instead of something boring like a todo app
Usefulness
Build something that's useful to at least one person
Completeness
