Getting started

Do I need to sign up before every episode?+

Just once. Create an account and you're set for every future episode β€” sign in and submit whenever you build something.

Is there a cost to enter?+

No. Signing up, building, and submitting are all free.

What do I actually need to bring?+

A working environment for whatever you plan to build with, and the ability to describe what you made β€” how it works, what models you used, and the prompts or issues along the way.

Building & submitting

What counts as a valid submission?+

Anything you built during the episode's window that fits the theme. You submit a title, how it works, the models you used, roughly what it cost, and the prompts or issues you ran into.

How does rating work?+

Anyone signed in can rate a build 1-5 stars on four things β€” name, pitch, product, and UI β€” once each, and leave a comment. That's up to 20 points per build from a single rater. The top-rated builds show up on the home page.

Can I edit or delete a submission after posting it?+

You can edit it anytime from the builds page, and delete it entirely from the edit page. Submissions aren't final once posted.

Judges

How do I become a judge?+

Pick "Judge" when you sign up β€” it's instant, no application required.

What does a judge actually do right now?+

Today, judges browse, rate, and comment on builds like everyone else. There's no separate scoring system yet β€” if that changes, it'll be announced on the Rules page.

Profile & portfolio

What's the portfolio for?+

A place to list things you've built before β€” a title, a link, and a short description. It shows up on your public profile page.

Can other people see my profile?+

Yes, your profile (including your portfolio) is public at /u/your-handle.
