Hey guys, what an eventful (and somehow bittersweet) end to the chillaton. I'd like to first and foremost apologize for the bug regarding the winners. It really sucks for those who celebrated and for that I'd like to apologize. I should have checked for bugs regarding this area, and as such the fault falls on me. However, I want to thank each and every single one of you for taking your time to participate and submit your wonderful projects. I really enjoyed each and every single one of them, and looking at all this talent and hard work is really pushing me to do the best in my dev and professional journey. Again thank you so much for joining this second iteration of the chillaton. The entire point of the chillaton was to basically chill and code as well as throw the main message of building in public. As such everyone got the recognition that they fully deserve, and I hope this pushes you to build even more and share them wonderful creations with everyone.

That being said, there were some projects that were not built within this week but within the course of months. I should've clarified that it the projects were meant to be created within a week and not any project that was already started beforehand. As much as this was a pain, I will be lenient this time around. For the next one (if you do decide to continue participating), projects should be made within the week of the hackathon.

To the judges, @mo_tries, @dot_ruth, @corax_cave, and @SoloDevChronicles, thank you so much for taking your time to judge these amazing projects. Thank you for sharing the submissions you found interesting on your channels and allowing the participants to get some much needed recognition. I really appreciate each and every single one of you for doing this, it really means a lot.

Unc you write too much🗣 Sorry😂

Some final words to end this event. I started this channel a year ago (tomorrow marks the one year period but who's counting😂). I never thought this channel would reach to this level. I don't think I deserve it at all to be frank with y'all. I opened this channel to be a place where people can chill (as per the name), hang out, and share their passion. Through it all I managed to increase my connections, meet amazing people, get interviewed by GDG, ragebait the bros, get into chess, host competitions, and many more.

To be honest I'm not as good at coding as a lot of the other tech channels which makes me feel like an imposter for having this many subs. I genuinely don't deserve this at all, but I am really thankful for each and every single one of you for joining this channel. I hope we can grow it to greater heights and that I can leave you with a place full of positivity, fun and learning. I hope I have left an impact on your lives, even if it is the smallest.

Thank you once again gang. To many more years and many more wins🫡

I'd write more but I guess this is more than enough😁

Congrats @DEVLUTO for first place for this chillaton!

The other two winners ( one of which is @n3ptun3_labs), text me on stark DMs or me personally through @Welcome2Ucode (dont spam me😂)

TL;DR thank you for 623 subs and happy one year channel anniversary🔥
