We run internal hackathons at Oso as a way to experiment with new ideas, prototype wish list features, build some off-the-wall things and have fun. In the past, we've prototyped features like data filtering in Python and built games like Polar Adventure. For the first time, in our most recent hackathon earlier this month we opened up the hackathon to the Oso community members, and they took the 🎂.
