We know that engaging developers isn’t easy. They despise flashy ads and can spot “marketing” from a mile away.
But there’s one thing developers consistently show up for:
Hackathons.
They’re hands-on. They’re competitive. They’re creative. They let builders actually use your tech, instead of just hearing about it, and
Incentivization + gamification + awareness = win-win-win!
HackerNoon Remote Technology Hackathons: Built for Longevity (Not Weekend Noise)
Unlike 48-hour sprint events, HackerNoon hackathons run 6 to 12 months.
That gives you sustained developer attention, compounding SEO value, and continuous story submissions.
That’s what we call sustained, EVERGREEN ecosystem growth.
