Participants can use any tech, including AI, though winners must be able to explain how their submission works. Three winners get invited to a special Coffee With Developers session and a free ticket to a WeAreDevelopers event in Berlin, Bengaluru or San Jose. Submissions go in via pull request, and Chris Heilmann already added a text mover and a shuffle effect example. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
