In May, we announced a challenge on DEV, in partnership with our friends at GitHub: the GitHub + DEV 2023 Hackathon.

Our brilliant participants were challenged to build brand new apps using GitHub Actions and GitHub Codespaces. Submissions were to be filed in one of five categories: Maintainer Must-Haves, DIY Deployments, Interesting IoT, Phone Friendly, or Wacky Wildcards.

It's never easy for contest judges to pick just one Grand Prize winner per category and 10 runners-up and this time was no different. Even so, judges from the DEV and GitHub teams managed to pick our winners and I'm excited to share them with you today!

Let's take a look at the winning projects for the GitHub + DEV 2023 Hackathon!
