Submissions are now open and will run until November 11th! So if you have a burning idea for a decentralized permaweb app make sure you join our hackathon and you could win from a prize pool of $5,000 in ETH, plus: AR bonuses, Arweave SWAG, and more!

 [New on the permaweb]
Here are some highlights of the awesome new apps built on the permaweb:
🌎 Ar-Wiki 
Think Wikipedia, but permanent: The Ar-Wiki platform is for everything, everyone, everywhere. Ar-Wiki offers a space for you to dive into anything you find interesting, connect with people who share your interests, and contribute your own perspective. Dive in and contribute now!

📝Weave Voice Memos

We're all familiar with recording thoughts, messages, ideas, texts, and other kinds of brain blurb on our phones - but with Weave Memos, you can now trust that your audio notes will be saved forever. 

💻 ArBrowser 

Easily explore wallet-based content with ArBrowser by pasting a wallet address into the search bar, and scroll through all archived content linked to this wallet address. Top marks for a slick UI!

Community Spotlight

In our recent Community Spotlight series, we get to know a little more about the people behind the hacking and learn what motivates them to join, build, and share their creations within the permaweb. Head over to our blog to find our latest community catch ups with Kostiantyn: the creator of HiringChain, Josh: mastermind of decentralised app store Albatross, and Almaz: chemical engineering student, blockchain enthusiast, and builder of Arweave.Design and WeaveWatcher.
