From an idea to something real.
No applications, no gatekeeping. Pick something ambitious, log genuine time, and show your work as you go.
- 01
Build things.
Any project you actually care about. Software, hardware, games, weird internet stuff.
- 02
Every 5 hours, show what happened.
A screenshot or a video, and a sentence about what you worked on. That’s a checkpoint.
- 03
Show what you made.
Every checkpoint is a quick update on what you built in those 5 hours.
- 04
Start as many projects as you want.
Your hours carry across everything you build. Starting something new never resets you.
- 05
Your hours unlock grants.
Hours bank up as you go. There are no points or coins. Reach a drop on the trail and you can take a grant for it.
