The brief
The finale is open domain and closed standard. Ship a complete, usable product: a landing page, the product itself, and the craft in between. After five weeks of constrained briefs, this is the one where you choose the problem. You get two weekends. Don't enter a project. Enter a product.
Required features
These are the floor. Hit all of them or you're not in the running.
- A finished landing page and a working core product, both at a public URL
- Onboarding that takes a stranger from cold visit to first success without help
- Loading, empty, success, and error states all handled, on mobile and desktop
- One distinctive capability you can name in a sentence, and a coherent visual identity carrying the whole thing
- A short note on the page or in the repo: what you built, who it is for, and why
Bonus
The required list makes builds comparable. Everything above it is where you win.
- A product a voter would bookmark, not just upvote
- Evidence of real users, even three of them
- Craft in the details: onboarding, microcopy, the feel of the thing
- Anything that makes this the screenshot you pin to the top of your profile
Constraints
- Must be deployed to a public URL.
- Repo must be public.
- Built during the build window. Commit history is the receipt.
How it's judged
Community vote during the voting window. One upvote per submission. Top 3 take a trophy. Voters are asked to reward usefulness, originality, completeness, user experience, technical execution, visual quality, and polish.
