Calling all developers! We’re happy to announce the kick off of the Voucherify API Developer Challenge series. Each month we’ll be announcing a developer challenge and the most original applications will be awarded a Chromebook, some cool Voucherify swag, and vouchers from our partners.

Our first hackathon turned out to be an amazing event. It was both fun and a learning opportunity. We met some great developers, found hidden bugs in our platform and discovered new ways of improving our API. This made us think about how we can roll out this kind of event on a larger scale. As we’re only a handful of devs, we decided to take it online. And here we are! So, if you:

• want to pick up a helluva lot of new dev skills
• can deliver fast under crazy conditions devised by our dev team
• can’t wait to configure every little option of your brand-new Chromebook you should join the contest right now!

How to enter

Every first day of the month we’ll be releasing a new challenge in a dedicated repo. Submit your application in the form provided by the deadline given. Bonus points for explaining your solution on your blog or in the readme.md on Github.

If you have any questions, please feel free to create an issue on GH.

How to learn Voucherify API
