For those who don’t know, some time back I posted about starting a hackathon/community in JSR. Things got delayed a bit because I got busy with work and life, so sorry about that.

But now we’re finally starting. 🔥

Introducing Build-stack 2026, an online AI SaaS hackathon for developers, students, freelancers, creators, and builders.

You can participate:

- Solo

- With your own team

- Or find teammates after registering within the community itself

The goal is simple: build a real AI SaaS product in 1 week.

Participation is free, and valid submissions will also receive certificates. Top projects will get recognition, promotion, feedback, and more.

I’ll personally be participating and guiding throughout the hackathon too, so this is going to be more community-focused and fun instead of just another random online event.

We’re also planning to bring in some well-known and respected judges from the tech space, so there’s going to be real exposure, real learning, and real opportunities for everyone involved.

This is only the beginning. 💻⚡

If you’re into building, coding, AI, design, startups, or just want to experience a serious developer community, register now at:

build-stack.space

See you inside the hackathon. 🚀

I get a lot of DMs from students (especially 2nd/3rd semester) asking for work opportunities, internships, and guidance. But honestly, many of them haven’t worked on real-world problem-solving projects yet — which is what companies actually look for.

I have some connections with HRs and startups, and in the coming time, I’ll also need to hire a few people for startup roles. So I was thinking — why not create something meaningful for the JSR community?

The idea is to host a hackathon where students can:

• Work on real-world problems

• Build actual projects

• Learn how to think beyond theory

I’m currently working on a startup in its early stage, and I’ll also be participating in the hackathon myself — building alongside everyone and learning in the process.

Top performers could:

• Get internship/job referral opportunities

• Win prizes (we’re planning a prize pool as well )

Before I move ahead, I’d love your suggestions:

Would you be interested in participating or collaborating?

What kind of problems/themes should we include?
