Handbook for The Netherland’s Shortest Hackathon

Welcome to the hackathon! Here’s everything you need to build your MVP lightning fast using AI and Groq’s blazing-fast inference.

Sponsor Tools & Resources

  • Fiberplane: Debug and test your Hono APIs efficiently with Fiberplane’s playground. Check it out at fiberplane.com.
  • Groq: Harness Groq’s LPU™ AI Inference Technology for ultra-fast model execution. Learn more and get started at groq.com.

Best Practices for Rapid MVP Development

  • Focus on core functionality first — demo live working features, not slides.
  • Use pre-trained models and APIs to save time.
  • Keep your code modular and simple for quick debugging.
  • Collaborate closely if in a team of two; divide tasks clearly.

Demo Tips

  • You have 1 minute — show your live MVP in action.
  • No slides; demonstrate real functionality.
  • Prepare a concise pitch explaining what your tool does and why it’s innovative.

Collaboration & IP

  • Preferred team size: solo or pairs.
  • You retain full ownership of your project IP.
  • The only exception is a limited display license, allowing your submission to be publicly visible during the event and featured in event-related posts.

Good luck, have fun, and build something amazing!
