Build Without Limits: Softr Online Hackathon
Bring the workaround. Leave with your own tool.
Every team has a workflow they keep working around: a spreadsheet that became a CRM, a SaaS tool that almost fits, a tracker held together by copy and paste. In this hackathon, you replace one of those workflows with a tool you build yourself in Softr, in 90 minutes, with AI building alongside you.
Softr has a new way to build. You describe what your team needs, and AI builds it with you: databases, workflows, permissions and all. You can switch between AI and the visual editor whenever you like.
The challenge is simple: replace one real workflow, not a whole platform. Pick the workflow your team actually runs and build the tool you'd rather use.
The Softr team and partner mentors will be on hand the whole time, moving between rooms to help whenever you get stuck. You don't need any coding background, and it doesn't matter whether you're new to Softr or have been building with it for years.
Choose your track
Replace a spreadsheet: the CRM, inventory list, tracker or rota living in a sheet
Replace a SaaS tool: the project board, ticketing system or portal you pay for and still work around
Build solo or in a pair.

How we judge
One question above all: would your team actually switch to this?
Winners will be announced on Softr's social channels the following week, so you can present without any pressure. Featured builds will be showcased as a before and after: what you replaced, and what you built in 90 minutes.

A laptop and a Softr account (free to sign up)
The spreadsheet or SaaS tool you'd like to replace
