Relio wins Best Start Up

The second Convex hackathon on Devpost has come to a close, and we're still reeling from the sheer volume of creativity and innovation on display. From startups tackling real estate and job listings to AI-powered tools for developers, the submissions showcased the versatility and power of Convex.

We were blown away by the caliber of projects submitted, and we're thrilled to see the Convex community growing and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. After careful consideration, our judges have selected the winners of the hackathon, and we're excited to share the results with you!

Winners and Prizes

Best Fullstack App (Overall)

fireview

Winner: Fireview live app

Description: Notion for your application data

Why we chose it: One of our judges responses was "amazing" and "one of the more complex use of Convex I've seen". The timeline for Fireview works as they made more than a significant amount of changes to their app at the start of the hackathon. We're fans of Fireview and the problems it solves for developers. Great job team!
