About the challenge
A hackathon combining Foru.ms (headless backend) and v0 by Vercel (generative frontend).
Choose Your Challenge
Pick a track that matches your skills and interests. Each track offers unique opportunities to showcase your creativity.
🎨 Bring Your Own Head
Front-end Focus
Since we are headless, we need to populate an ecosystem of starter kits. Build the wildest, fastest, or most beautiful front-end using existing frameworks.
Example Ideas:
Swipe-left/swipe-right interface for browsing threads
Retro CLI forum via terminal
React Native or Flutter mobile app
Blazing fast Next.js or SvelteKit template
Open-source repo templates for our docs.
🔌 Embedded Community
Integrations
Forums rarely exist in a vacuum—they live inside other products. Integrate Foru.ms seamlessly into an existing platform or type of software.
Example Ideas:
Comment section plugin for static blogs (Gatsby/Hugo)
Customer support ticketing system
Shopify integration for product reviews
SaaS dashboard feedback widget
Prove our API is easy to weave into existing stacks.
âš¡ AI & Intelligence
LLM-Powered Features
Our API data is incredibly easy to pipe into LLMs. Enhance community interaction using AI.
Example Ideas:
"TL;DR Bot" that summarizes long threads
Sentiment moderation for toxic content
"Matchmaker" algorithm for thread suggestions
Semantic search based on meaning, not keywords
High virality—AI projects get shared widely.
🚀 Un-Forum
Creative Misuse
Prove that our data structure (Users → Threads → Posts) is flexible enough to run things that aren't forums.
Example Ideas:
Collaborative storytelling app (posts = chapters)
Specialized job board
Q&A platform (StackOverflow clone)
Changelog/roadmap tool for software companies
For indie hackers wanting a backend-in-a-box.
🔧 Migration & Utility
Data Tools
Build tools that make moving data easier and visualizing community health possible.
Example Ideas:
"Discourse to Foru.ms" importer script
Discord channel archiver for searchable forums
Analytics dashboards for community growth
Vital tooling for adoption.
