We're back with another exciting event for the open-source community - the 2nd refine Open Source Hackathon!

As with the first one, this Hackathon is about showcasing your skills, creativity, and innovation using refine.

refine is a React-based framework for the rapid ✨ development of CRUD web applications. It eliminates the repetitive tasks demanded by CRUD operations and provides industry-standard solutions for critical parts like authentication, access control, routing, networking, state management, and i18n. refine shines on data-intensive applications like admin panels, dashboards, internal tools, and storefronts.

⏰ The Hackathon will kick off on June 21, and we're proud to host it in collaboration with the DEV platform. All the other hackathon details and submission process will be announced on the official launch day on DEV.

🚀 The prizel pool is $10,000 in total and a special gifts along with limited edition swag kits!
