Notable hackathon projects, with evidence.
A curated archive of projects built at hackathons, game jams, internal hack weeks, and similar rapid-build events. From weekend prototypes to products used by millions.
Each entry answers:
- What the project is and does
- Where it was built: the hackathon, game jam, or internal hack event, when verifiable
- Any awards or distinctions, only when backed by evidence
- Links to official pages, source code, demos, and videos when they exist
- Evidence: public sources backing the claims in the entry
Award winners are included, and so are notable non-winners and lesser-known projects with genuine merit. If a detail is unknown, it is left out rather than guessed. A missing field means the information was not verified, not that the project lacked it.
