About the challenge

Participate in the Zero to One Hackathon by Convex to build fullstack apps with the backend that your product deserves. Designed for the modern web developer and startup founder, Convex handles everything in your backend that isn’t your application logic, letting you focus on writing your app. Drop your standalone databases, file storage solutions, search, realtime libraries, crons, and ORM for a thoughtfully designed experience with powerful developer ergonomics.

You can join as a solo developer, team up with others to build new apps, or clone an existing app that leverages Convex. We're not looking for any one particular type of app, and we encourage you to be creative: build a web app, use AI, or create a game or mobile app. If you have a startup idea, use the Zero to One Hackathon by Convex as your jumping-off point and let Convex take care of your backend.
