About this hackathon
A free, month-long online hackathon run by Reskilll for Nexconn: build a real-time, chat-driven app on the Nexconn Chat SDK (Chat UI counts; the Call SDK for voice/video is optional) for Web, iOS, Android or Flutter. Tracks cover social, gaming and live streams, workplace, marketplace and support, social good, or anything open. Teams of 1–4; existing projects are fine if you add a real Nexconn integration during the challenge. Submit an app link, public repo, demo video and write-up by Nov 22, 2026, 23:59 AoE. $5,000 cash across five winners (1st $2,000) plus a two-year free chat plan.
