Zed x TRMNL | Hackathon: Berlin
Build Fast, Display Clean
This event focuses on using Zed to build a plugin for TRMNL that puts information where it belongs: visible, but not distracting.
Challenge ideas can includes:
Developer tools (e.g., build status, PR reviews, deployment alerts, who's working on what)
Team coordination (e.g., standup summaries, availability, focus mode indicators, meeting reminders)
Personal productivity (e.g., todo lists, calendar + weather, transit times, workout tracking)
Data monitoring (e.g., analytics dashboards, API health checks, system status, uptime monitors)
Ambient awareness (e.g., GitHub activity, crypto prices, news feeds, community stats)
Judges and mentors:
Andrey A. - Self-hosting at Supabase
Cameron Mcloughlin - Zed dev and TRMNL fan
