Ship in a Day is a fast-paced online buildathon designed to challenge developers to go from idea to working product in just one day.

Hosted by the GitHub Community SRM, this event focuses on practical, real-world projects — no slide decks, no half-built demos. Participants will build functional applications, collaborate in real time on Discord, and showcase their work through live demos.

Whether you're a beginner looking to ship your first project or an experienced developer testing your speed and creativity, Ship in a Day is all about:

Rapid prototyping
Clean, working solutions
Learning by building
Open collaboration

  Did you actually ship a working prototype, or just a Figma file? Does the core feature execute without crashing? (40)
• The "Dopamine" Factor (UI/UX & Gamification)
  This is the theme! Are there fun animations, quirky interactions, or gamified elements? Does it feel delightful to use? (30)
• The "Why didn't I think of that?" Score (Innovation)
  How creative is the solution? Did you take a boring problem and solve it in a wildly unique way? (15)
• The "Under the Hood" Score (Code Clarity)
  Is the GitHub repo structured reasonably? Are the setup instructions in the README actually followable? (15)
• The "Ship & Show" Score (Presentation/Demo)
  Can you explain your project concisely? Is your pitch as fun as your app? (10)
