HackerNoon strives to provide developers with the best platform to publish their work, share their stories, and learn through their peers and like-minded individuals working in similar industries. To help provide devs with something to strive for and a fun topic to write about, we partnered with Wix to host the Velo Writing Contest. Each month, we’re giving away up to $4,250 in prize money to the best articles showcasing the potential of Velo and Velo APIs to seamlessly build web pages and web apps. The Selection Criteria For the first round, we selected the 5 stories published with the tag on HackerNoon that received the most views. #build-velo-web-app From those 5 stories, HackerNoon editors voted on which stories were best based on the scale of the Velo project showcased in the article and the quality of the writing and presentation of the project throughout the story. It's time to present our favorite stories, but first, let’s look at all the nominees: 1. - by Building a Website for a Dental Clinic Using Wix and Velo @webdentist 2. - by 3. - by How to Make an Online Timer via Velo's GUI or JavaScript Editor @amateurweb Building a Wedding Website in 5 Minutes from Scratch @webdeveloper123 4. - by Building Advanced Forms and Custom Interactions with Velo: A How-To Guide @ritwik 5. - by How to Add a Blog to Your Wix Website and Edit JavaScript via Velo @augustkim The Voting Process We used Polly (a slack app) to build the voting panel and true to the spirit of decentralization, everybody on our Editors Slack channel got to pick their three favorite stories each.
