Mostly.AI Vibecoding Hackathon

Theme: Build Something That Solves Real Problems

Friday | 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

🎯 Mission

Use vibecoding tools to build working solutions that solve real friction in people's lives—whether at work, at home, or in their communities. Ship something that matters.

"The best products come from personal frustration. Slack started because a game studio was frustrated with email. Dropbox started because someone kept forgetting their USB drive."

💪 Pro Tips for Success

  • 1.Solve YOUR problem. The best hacks come from personal frustration.
  • 2.Start with UX Pilot. Even Younglings benefit from designing first.
  • 3.Be specific in prompts. "Build a dashboard" → "Build a dashboard with a sidebar, 3 metric cards, and a line chart"
  • 4.Don't over-engineer. Pick the simplest path that solves the problem.
  • 5.Ship ugly first. A working prototype beats a beautiful mockup.
  • 6.Record a backup video. Live demos fail. Murphy's Law is undefeated.
  • 7.Tell a story. "I built this because..." beats "This app does..."
