🚀 Are you ready to engineer the future of the web? Join the Baseline Tooling Hackathon and help us accelerate the adoption of modern web features by building innovative tools.

🧑‍💻 Ever hesitated to use a new feature, wondering, "Is it safe to use yet?" Do you spend time jumping between MDN, caniuse.com, and various blog posts just to decide if it can go into production? This uncertainty is a tax on productivity for every web developer. What if your tools could give you the answer instantly? What if your linter, your IDE, and your CI pipeline automatically knew what's universally supported?

⚡ That's the power of Baseline. And for the first time, it's ready to be integrated everywhere! We’re calling on you to participate in the Baseline Tooling Hackathon and build the tools you wish you had. 

 
Unlock new possibilities: 

🧩 Shape the Future: Integrate Baseline with new or existing developer tools and solve real-world developer needs. Your project could become a key component in the web's evolution.

🛠️ Showcase Your Skills: Develop a project that integrates Baseline with frameworks, linters, transpilers, IDEs, or other developer tools.

💲 Win Big: Compete for a share of $10,000 USD in prizes!

👀 Gain Recognition: Get your work seen by industry experts at Google and Devpost, and contribute to the developer community.

Judging Criteria

  • Innovation
    Is the Project integrating Baseline data in new and interesting ways, for example solving a problem that no existing tool solves, or doing so in a totally novel way?
  • Usefulness
    Does the Project solve real-world developer needs, for example by integrating Baseline with tools used by a significant number of developers or by creating something new that an average developer would use?
