Two weeks ago my Code Jam got zero submissions because I buried it inside a chat app. So I rebuilt it as a standalone platform. Now I'm going bigger: KODA Online Fest 2026 — a 3-day coding festival, hosted entirely from a POCO C55 in Tamil Nadu. Sept 12–14. 🎪 THE THREE TRACKS 🏆 TRACK 1 — BUILD SPRINT (Day 1) Build a niche single-page app in 24 hours and submit it to the Jam wall. Niche = for ONE tribe (guitarists, night nurses, dog walkers). Ugly and shipped beats perfect and imaginary. 🧮 TRACK 2 — MATH KATA HOUR (Day 2) Open KODA, ask it ANY formula (quadratic, Heron's, Pythagoras), and screenshot the glowing animated equation. Drop the screenshot in the comments. Best screenshot gets featured. 🥋 TRACK 3 — BEGINNER DOJO (Day 2) Never used an AI mentor? Ask KODA your first question, screenshot your ⚪ White Belt in My Growth, and post it. Every black belt started here. 🗳️ VOTE DAY (Day 2 evening) Sign in on the Jam site and vote. Voters count as participants too. 👑 AWARDS DAY (Day 3) The Champion gets cyan theme + 2x memory + Pro Sensei Mode in KODA. EVERY participant gets a named shoutout in the Awards article. 🐯 THE HONORARY HOSTS VP_xudon (China) — the Silent Tiger, Senior Engineer, Fest Judge xulingfeng (China) — the Speedrunner, first reactor in the dojo Mindinu (14) — the Young Architect, youth host A 12-year-old founder, two Chinese engineers, and a 14-year-old architect. The most international staff room on the internet. 🎁 WHY I'M DOING THIS Because the last fest I almost ran had zero submissions — and the lesson wasn't "people don't care." The lesson was "make it easy to join." So this time: one link, three tracks, real rewards, and a wall that shows your name to everyone. Sept 12. The dojo opens its gates. Bring something shipped. 🥋
