SmokingFish

Online web dev hackathon

Build hot. Ship smoked.

Forty-eight hours. Any stack. One browser tab is all you need to ship something strange and a little bit great.

Smoking Fish is a fully online web dev hackathon for people who like their ideas a bit smoky. Join solo or with a team of up to four, build a working website or web app from scratch, and demo it live to the community. Beginners and veterans are both welcome.

Fresh code

Start your project after kickoff. Libraries and open-source tools are fair game.

Go solo or squad up. Everyone on the team must register.

Be kind

Our code of conduct applies in every channel. Break the code, not each other.

Some ideas smell better than others.
