E-commerce x Vibecoding Hackathon
E-commerce × Vibecoding Hackathon by Growzilla | Forest City
Build the most unreasonably smart Shopify app in just 5 hours with Claude.
We built the full infra so you actually ship real stuff (no coding in the dark):
• Real test stores pre-loaded with live products, orders & customer data • Ready-to-fork starter repo (OAuth + GraphQL + strong Claude prompts) • Zero Shopify experience needed
5-hour build sprint → live pitches → winners announced same day.
Prize Pool: $1,500 BTC/USDC • 1st: $1,000 • 2nd: $300 • 3rd: $200
Everyone gets: • Exclusive Growzilla cap (50 limited) • Food, coffee & Red Bull
Winners also get: • Growzilla Pro lifetime access • Direct intro to Shopify Partner Program
Judging Criteria (Each category scored 1-10 by every judge — Shopify experts will weight integration & viability heavier, AI experts will weight Claude efficiency heavier. Final rank = average score.)
AI Efficiency & Cleverness (how smartly you used Claude to ship fast & clean — fewer prompts, smarter architecture, real “wow I can’t believe Claude built this” factor)
Shopify Integration (depth, seamlessness, real merchant value — does it actually feel like a native Shopify app?)
Taste & Design (Next.js dashboard polish, UX delight, overall vibe)
Business Viability & Market Potential (originality + uniqueness + clear positioning. Is this a real B2B SaaS people would pay for and that could raise money and scale? We’re looking for the one you could actually spin out and build a company around.)
Launch Video (bazaar.it video that makes us instantly get it and want to buy)
Highest total score wins. We’re crowning the project most likely to become the next big Shopify-native SaaS.
