a Hack Club YSWS
make a thing for the web
Braize is for browser-adjacent projects: extensions, little utilities, from-scratch browsers, cursed experiments, anything someone can poke at.
- build it in public
- keep notes and proof
- submit through the form
- get reviewed for prizes
Braize is a Hack Club YSWS. Make something browser-ish, keep a little trail of what happened, and submit it through the submission form.
Scope can be tiny or huge. A practical extension counts. A cursed tab toy counts. A from-scratch browser counts if you are brave.
full browser
Go big if you want: rendering, tabs, the whole messy thing.
Example: Vertex, a fully from-scratch web browser, written in C++.
extension
A tab hoarder intervention, a dark-mode-everything button, anything that lives in the toolbar.
browsing buddy
A desktop pet that judges your tabs, a sidebar pal, something that hangs out while you browse.
something weirder
If it touches browsing in any way, it probably counts. Not sure? Ask in Slack.
- Build. Use whatever stack you like. Small is fine if it works.
- Log. Keep quick notes and proof as you go so reviewers can see the trail.
- Submit. Use the Hack Club submission form. It sends entries into Airtable.
- Get Rewarded. If it runs and fits the theme, Hack Club sends prizes.
Account connection is unavailable in this static edition.
Prizes are intentionally simple: submit working browser stuff, get reviewed, maybe get browser credits, gear, or a monitor.
