Bog-a-thon 2
Last Saturday at Index, we reconvened with new faces and old friends and even a few participants from Bog-a-thon 1.
Creativity sprang forth!
We got a real look at what it looks like to hand people a new digital material. People built incredible and highly functional hacks this time around: A few games driven by our incremental computing framework were created and insanely performant search systems were built for a number of domains.
This time around, we established a new system involving trusted judges assessing the hacks people submitted. We sent a few people home with rewards.
A clip, video stills, and photographs from the second Bog-a-thon:
Our various submissions this time around:
- Semgrep: Zero-dependency, fully local, semantic search for agents
- Bogchat: Our digital meeting space for the duration of the hackathon
- Flowerdocs: A collaborative document editor with efficient derived views
- Papermech: An arena shooter using fold to determine damage/scoring
- Bog Video Search: A very fast YouTube transcript embedding and search system
- Flowersheets: A functional spreadsheet in fewer than 500 lines of code
- Bog Bench: An incremental benchmark harness for agent tooling
