Shiny Hackapalooza at KPV Lab - Work on something new!

RSVP on Meetup Now

Biome curious or just keen to Remix the stack of your Nuxt side project? Sick of hearing Svelte is Lit when you’ve never had a Solid chance to try it? Angular-ing to try Bun but had bad React-ions? You get the idea. The theme of the Hackapalooza is SHINY.

There’s so much worth exploring going on in the JavaScript ecosystem, but there often isn’t time to sit down and actually try it out. For one day only, EdinburghJS is inviting you to do exactly that.

Select a new (to you) library, framework or tool. Use it on an existing project or build something new. Share what you learned at the end of the day.

Let’s get TanStack Started!

Who is the Shiny Hackapalooza for?

Developers of all experience levels who are interested in spending a day tinkering with code in the company of like-minded people. The event is JavaScript focused but participants are welcome to use any programming languages they wish. (Maybe it’s time to try Rust?)

Who is hosting the event?

Ljupche Vasilev and James Harding
