AI 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. You're encouraged to use Zed to build your project, and we'll have plenty of help and documentation to help you get started.
And we are super excited to announce OpenRouter is sponsoring AI credits for each attendee! 🥳
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
Dino Costa - Zed dev
TRMNL dev
