A Month of Innovation & Building: Storyblok x Code & Coffee Hackathon 2025

This September, we created a space for everyone to experiment, learn, and build meaningful projects powered by Storyblok. In collaboration with Code & Coffee, Storyblok hosted a month-long virtual hackathon, bringing together builders, developers, and innovators from across the globe for a collaborative learning and building experience.

From solo hackers to small teams, participants had the opportunity to showcase their creativity, connect with mentors, and compete for $4,500 in prizes 💰 and a chance for a US-based team to attend JoyConf NYC 2025! ✈ 🇺🇸

The hackathon wrapped up last week, and what a journey it has been! Over the course of Sept 1–30, 2025, developers from around the world brought ideas to life, from apps and websites to integrations and tools – proving that innovation knows no bounds.

Hackathon Highlights

• Participants had 30 days to brainstorm, prototype, and implement their projects.
• 700+ builders joined solo or in teams of up to three members, making it a fully virtual event.
• Developers from 60+ countries collaborated and competed, making it truly global.
• 10+ mentors, judges, & speakers guided participants, offering valuable feedback & support.
• In total, 60+ innovative projects were submitted, all built with Storyblok at the core.

These numbers reflect the collaboration and engagement that made this hackathon a huge success! 🎉

Special Shoutout

The hackathon wouldn’t have been possible without the mentors, speakers, and judges who guided participants and fostered collaboration. From answering questions on Discord to providing feedback on demos, their support was invaluable.

A special thank you to our community partners, who helped spread the word and encouraged builders to participate! 🤝🏻

What’s Next

While the hackathon has officially ended, the projects continue to evolve! We encourage participants to:

• Keep experimenting with Storyblok and share project updates and improvements.
• Stay connected with the Storyblok developer community and showcase your project in the #made-with-storyblok channel on our Discord.

We’ll continue hosting more events like this, so stay tuned for new opportunities to build, learn, and collaborate.

Until next time, keep building with Storyblok! 💛
