Zero Friction Hackathon
Come with a complaint, leave with a product
What it is
A six-hour hackathon co-hosted by OX1 Incubator and MunOx, sponsored by Lovable and EnSpire Oxford. Pick one piece of everyday friction and build something that removes it: the form that only exists as a PDF, the three websites you check for one opening time, the queue everyone complains about but nobody fixes. By the end of the day you’ll have a real, clickable tool you can send to a friend.
You’ll build with Lovable, an AI tool that turns plain English into working software. The event is designed for complete beginners, with help on hand all day. If you can describe a problem, you can build the solution.
What you’ll get from the hackathon
- A working, shareable product by the end of the day
- Hands-on training in Lovable, with support throughout
- A small group, so everyone gets proper help
