Major League Hacking

🚀 3 Hackers, 3 Innovations, 1 Notion MCP. We recently teamed up with Notion for the Notion AI Challenge, asking the student developer community to build the future of productivity using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The results? Absolute game-changers. These hackers didn't just build integrations; they built workflows that give users superpowers. Huge congratulations to our three winning submissions! 🏆 ✨ NotionOS – A seamless bridge between your OS and Notion workspace. 🔗 Check it out: https://lnkd.in/enyaPVcm ✨ Rosetta – Streamlining developer onboarding through AI-driven documentation. 🔗 Check it out: https://lnkd.in/eaJ8xF4v ✨ Momentum – An automated productivity engine to keep you in the flow. 🔗 Check it out: https://lnkd.in/etZDUz5H Each of these winners is taking home a $500 prize, and one lucky winner will be heading to a 1:1 chat with Notion Co-Founder & CEO, Ivan Zhao! To everyone who submitted: your ability to build with cutting-edge AI tech is what makes the MLH community so special. Keep building! 💻🔥 #NotionAIChallenge #MLH #NotionMCP #StudentDevelopers

We are thrilled to announce a new partnership! Major League Hacking + Backboard.io Our mission has always been to help developers learn by doing. By integrating Backboard's stateful API into our hackathons, we aren't just teaching code, we are helping students move beyond stateless prototypes and build complex, production-ready AI applications without the engineering tax. What does this collaboration mean for developers? Everything you need to build production-grade agent systems on a single, coherent API. Free State Management: Students receive free state management for life. With bring-your-own-API-key support, any of the 17,000+ models they use become instantly stateful. Support: Access to free software credits for premium AI memory features, plus specialized swag and high-value prizes. Global Reach: We are introducing the "Best Use of Backboard.io" category across hackathons worldwide, Global Hack Weeks, and a DEV Challenge. From Jonathan Murray, CSO and Cofounder of Backboard.io, “We believe the next wave of world-changing tools will come from this community. We’re making Backboard.io the starting point of the AI stack for MLH builders, ensuring they can scale from weekend tinkering to enterprise-ready deployments without reworking their foundation”. dev-a-forem-community 🔗 read more on DEV https://tr.ee/7XUxUVWMB8

Tired of taking screenshots and copying console logs just to fix tiny UI bugs? Meet Ayn, is an AI-powered tool designed to save frontend developers time and headaches. Instead of manually feeding context to your IDE agent, Ayn uses Google Cloud Gemini 2.5 Computer Use to automatically scan your website. Just ask it to find problems on your webpage, and it will orchestrate the prompts to: 📸 Gather screenshots automatically 💻 Pull logs straight from the console 🧠 Feed the data into a large language model to diagnose the exact issues and provide solutions Ayn can instantly identify a broken link, a hover animation error, a console error, and missing alt text! Huge shoutout to the Freetail Hackers HackTX 2025 winner, Best Use of Gemini 2.5 Computer Use Model! Nathan Negera, Abel Tadele, Kidus Beshah, and Bemnet Beshah! 👏 🔗 Check out how they built it on Devpost and connect with the team! https://lnkd.in/gbwHBpiP

As a Computer Science student at UCLA, Jasmine W.'s perspective shifted when she saw that coding could be about more than just logic; it’s about intentionality, creativity, and problem-solving for real-world issues. After finding her community at Kode With Klossy, she’s dedicated herself to making the tech space more equitable and inviting for everyone. Jasmine's impact as an MLH Top 50 hacker is all about the community: ➡️ Leading the way as an MLH Hackathon Organizer, ensuring student events are inclusive and impact-driven. ➡️ Championing social good and fostering a collaborative environment where every beginner feels they belong. ➡️ From her first lines of code at AthenaHacks 2024 to mastering JavaScript, she’s proving that it’s never too late to find your passion. Jasmine believes the most important part of any project is the community behind it. Congratulations on the Top 50, Jasmine! Your commitment to inclusive innovation is exactly what the future of tech needs. Jasmine’s story: https://lnkd.in/g62AkSWv
