Just submitted mine and it was a genuine pleasure. I built DuelUp Live, an AI announcer that calls beach-sport duels play-by-play (Gemini writes it, ElevenLabs voices it): footvolley, beach tennis, tennis and beach volleyball. I made it for my real futevôlei crew back in Brazil, the sport I play every single day, so building it never felt like work.

If anyone wants a look, ring the bell and it calls the match live: dev.to/vinimabreu/i-gave-my-futevo...

Good luck to everyone who joined!

Its a good way for "DEV community" to get unique ideas from people all over the world, because let's be frank, this event is tailored to get projects that have been ongoing / completed long before this "passion-week", in contrast to something like a "Game Jam" where the rules are tailored to reflect the spirit of the event, which is "A project created during the weekend."

Happy to participate! My submission is PunamIDE, an AI-powered desktop IDE built with Rust, Tauri, React, and Monaco.

One of the core goals was to go beyond AI chat by adding AST-based code analysis and architectural intelligence. I'd love to hear feedback from fellow developers, and I'm excited to check out everyone else's entries as well. 🚀

Just submitted mine too! I built PassionCast, an AI-powered experience that turns the memories behind what you love into a narrated mini-documentary using Gemini and ElevenLabs.

I wanted to explore the emotional side of passion—not just what people love, but why it matters to them.

I’d love for you to check it out and share your thoughts:

👉 PassionCast: Turn What You Love Into a Story Worth Hearing

Good luck to everyone joining the challenge! ❤️‍🔥
