Bram Cohen

Hello, Developers,

Another week of progress! Hello to the more than 2000+ developers that joined us since I last wrote you. Every week I'll reveal what's happening on Showwcase, the latest features, and interesting resources for the community on engineering, technology, and finance. I NEVER spam you. And if you’d like to unsubscribe, no hard feelings if you want to keep your mailbox clean.

As many of you know, I am building Showwcase, a network optimised for developers to hang out and find new opportunities together as a community. Feel free to explore it here:

Onward!

What’s new on Showwcase

Hackfest2023

Hackfest2023 is live and we’re about to be 1 week in! Have you found your idea? Got someone to collaborate with? Joined a mentor session?

Here’s a breakdown of everything we’ve prepared for Hackfest 2023:

Mentors, office hour, and technical support sessions
Cash prize money for the coolest builds
List of ideas to help you if you’re struggling
Community to engage with other developers participating

At the end of the day, you’ll be building for 100,000 developers so think through what problems someone like you faces and build for them.

We’ve also prepared an end of first week launch banner for your ideas. Here’s mine below. If you want us to generate one for you, just DM us on Showwcase with your Idea, Description, and Showwcase username.

My idea if I was allowed to participate

Check it out and let us me what you think. As usual, if you ever wanna chat, my DMs on Showwcase are open!

SparkLabs Demo Day 20 in Korea

Representing Showwcase in KoreaDemoDay20

Skipped the last 2 weeks of newsletters because we were in Korea for DemoDay and hanging out with the startups there! Was amazing to see the wealth of innovation coming out of different countries across APAC!

Flutter Roadmap

The official Flutter Roadmap is now available on Showwcase! For those learning mobile development I highly recommend Flutter as a leading choice. Check it out and let me know what you think 👇🏼
