We are delighted to announce the results of the fourth edition of FOSS Hack, which was conducted in a hybrid mode this year on 27th-28th July 2024. This was our largest edition of FOSSHack yet. We saw 3500+ participants, 1600+ teams and ~400 projects (which is almost twice the number of projects created in FOSSHack 3.0!) The hackathon took place at 12 local editions in cities all over India, and virtually. Lots of exciting projects were built or extended during that period. The jury has evaluated all the submitted projects and selected some based on various factors, including technical complexity, completeness, product thinking, utility and viability. Out of 398 submitted projects, of them are featured here. ## Prizes **[zide](https://fossunited.org/hack/fosshack24/p/v9eebtifcj) by team 10IQ - ₹1,00,000** Zide (abbr. Zide Is a Design Environment) is a cross-platform pixel art editor designed to provide artists with a minimalistic, easy-to-use interface. Whether you’re creating a simple sprite or an intricate animation, Zide offers all the essential tools you need to bring your art to life. **Jury Notes** This is a hacker project at heart, commendable for packaging the web app as a desktop app via Tauri (electron alternative). This could surely be hosted on the web as well would be one reccomendation. Another big kudos for keeping a good design language with a retro look and the idea of importing and exporting as usable sprites. The project has a very well documented readme and good number of features, including play using timeline which is a good add-on. **[sheeja](https://fossunited.org/hack/fosshack24/p/58rn5ki78i) by team ElementX - ₹1,00,000** Sensitive Heuristic Electrical Expenditure and Joule Analyser The project aims to build a spyware device that is able to detect small variations in current through through a load through which it can analyse what the device is doing.Essentially a spyware hacking device which works on the analogue domain rather than the software level. The device will be connected as a spy device in the mains line where it will spy on all the attached electrical devices. The device makes use of Kirchoffs third current law and exploits it. The exploitability of attached devices depends on bad practices in the electrical design of the hackable devices. **Jury Notes** Great demo, innovative and novel idea. The participant has put in a lot of effort to have completed this within the hackathon duration. Please reach out to [grants@fossunited.org](mailto:grants@fossunited.org) if you wish to continue building this project and require support. **[Batwara](https://fossunited.org/hack/fosshack24/p/o2ro33p7ds) by Build With Hussain - ₹50,000** Batwara (batwara.app) is a simple and open source alternative to Splitwise **Jury Notes** The participant has created a well documented, complete application within a span of two days along with a nice demo. The UI is also nicely done. **[Clip Kadabra](https://fossunited.org/hack/fosshack24/p/0psqrltpdq) by TheBoys - ₹50,000** A powerful and intuitive video editing web application designed to cater to all your video editing needs. **Jury Notes** Usage of ffmpeg and the dubbing features etc are useful in themselves. Integrating it via a frontend and being able to play and do this on the web is interesting. While similar projects exist, this is commendable effort. 💯 effort and integration. **[Clue Glue](https://fossunited.org/hack/fosshack24/p/slr333ha2d) by team Indiegers - ₹50,000** Self-hostable customer boards for product feedback and feature requests. **Jury Notes** Funcitonal web demo. 💯 on completeness within a short duration, very well thought project overall. **[Datadance](https://fossunited.org/hack/fosshack24/p/pftrce14oi) by Yak Shaving Devs - ₹50,000** Datadance is a simple data processing server that takes a JSON input, performs simple operations, and returns an output. **Jury Notes** This is a very well polished project, and something that could be used as a jq alternative. The playground is a great add-on. Slightly lesser features added during the hackathon as compared to the other projects in this list. **[AutoVolume](https://fossunited.org/hack/fosshack24/p/l4li8r32o8) by HackerNoobs - ₹10,000** The jury liked that this was made as a library and that the team seems to have put in the effort to do prior research. 💯 creativity. ## Special Mentions **[SecretUS](https://fossunited.org/hack/fosshack24/p/ue55rem33t) by Nuclear Codes** The jury commends the participants for taking the effort to build this. Novel and well documented project. **[Atelier](https://fossunited.org/hack/fosshack24/p/9pjn9fuvpf) by 25\_din\_me\_paisa\_double** Good demo. Great effort coming up with the workflows and schemas. **[FluxTest](https://fossunited.org/hack/fosshack24/p/tpl1gr85kr) by Team Deku** FluxTest is a simple, open-source, self-hostable tool for collecting product feedback and analysis. **[Ambaan](https://fossunited.org/hack/fosshack24/p/sn2u9vmh6e)** As a UI on top of other tools, this is a good idea. We would love to see this being built further. **[Saath-Code](https://fossunited.org/hack/fosshack24/p/sq8f47b056)** The jury appreciates the effort that went behind this project, the integration of external libraries into a product is commendable. ## Partner Projects While evaluations for partner project contributions are still going on, the maintainers have highlighted a few teams that made impactful contribtions to their projects.
