Special thanks

We will be giving away the refine swag kit to projects that we did not award, but which we truly appreciate.

Here are the refine swag kit winners:

  • SnipSnap - A one-stop platform for users to save all their important coding snippets at one place so that they can refer to them later. It is integrated with overall CRUD functionality.
  • Dashed Streaks - Dashed Streaks tracks your progress as you try to spell out the desired phrase and keeps you informed of the upcoming schedule.
  • refine-sunday - A tool that allows users to place built-in or custom components within a grid design meant for websites they want to create

The refine Open Source Hackathon

refine is a React-based framework for the rapid ✨ development of CRUD web applications. It eliminates the repetitive tasks demanded by CRUD operations and provides industry standard solutions for critical parts like authentication, access control, routing, networking, state management, and i18n. refine shines on data-intensive applications like admin panels, dashboards, internal tools and storefronts.

We're proud to have reached thousands of developers who used refine in our first year, and we couldn't have done it without an open source community! To celebrate this achievement with the community, we are excited to announce the launch of the first hackathon event.

This hackathon is an excellent opportunity for developers to showcase their skills and learn refine!

You can win $1500 and a special gifts along with limited edition swag kits!

We can't wait to see what amazing projects the participants will build projects using refine.

Together with Open Source Community

refine draws its strength from the open-source community, and we are grateful to have the support of Strapi, Appwrite, Medusa, and Meilisearch which has significant contributions to the open source community.

It's worth noting that refine has built-in data provider support for Strapi, Appwrite, and Medusa. So we believe they will be excellent backend solutions for your hackathon project.

Strapi, Appwrite, Medusa, and Meilisearch will also be providing swag kits for the winners.
