Hack to the Future

Pick any app. Ship its future.

Hack to the Future is a hackathon about upgrading software that already exists. Instead of starting from a blank page, every team picks a real app people use today and builds the feature it doesn't have yet: the one users keep asking for, the fix for something everyone hates, or a bold idea that app might ship years from now.

You don't need access to the app's code. Teams can build a working add-on, extension, integration, clone of the relevant screen, or interactive prototype that shows the feature in action. Judges are looking for ideas that feel like they belong in the original app and could actually ship.

Open to developers, designers, product thinkers, and first-time hackers. Solo builders and teams are both welcome.
