## About the challenge

 

Reform Hacks is a 24-hour online hackathon focused on building and transforming web applications.

 

Your goal is simple:

Build any web app you want — then use Reform to analyze your UI/UX and push it to a level that feels like a real product.

 

This is not just about coding fast.

It’s about turning something rough into something polished.

 

We are looking for:

• Strong ideas

• Clear UI improvements

• Real product thinking

 

At the end, you will showcase both your original version and your improved version using Reform.

 

 

## Get started

 

1. Join the Discord:

2. Start building your web app (frontend + backend)

 

3. Use Reform to audit your UI and identify improvements

 

4. Apply the improvements and refine your product

 

5. Submit your project on Devpost before the deadline

 

⏰ Duration: 24 hours  

👥 Teams: Solo or duo  

🌍 Fully online — build from anywhere

Requirements

## What to Build

 

Participants must build a web application (frontend + backend).

 

You are free to build anything — SaaS, tools, platforms, experiments — as long as it runs and demonstrates a clear idea.

 

 

## What to Submit

 

Each submission must include:

 

• A working web application (live link or demo)

• The original version (before using Reform)

• The Reform audit or report

• The final improved version

 

Make sure to clearly show the transformation between the original and final product.

 

Bonus points for clear before/after comparisons.
