We’re teaming up with Anima to challenge designers and developers everywhere to bring their ideas to life — from concept to a live prototype — in just one week.
The Challenge
The “Zero to Live” Hackathon is all about turning imagination into reality. Starting from your own idea, or a Figma design (yours or one you love), you’ll use Anima to create a live, working prototype — beautifully designed, fully functional, and ready to share.
Whether you’re a designer experimenting with code, a developer exploring creative interfaces, or a team testing an idea — this challenge is your playground.
Your mission:
- Build and publish a live prototype using Anima
- Share your creation with the world
- Show how fast, creative, and fun design-to-code can be
How to Participate
- Sign up here (you can upgrade with coupon code CHALLENGECO25 for $50 off the Pro or Business plan)
- Design or remix something — a landing page, interactive concept, or any creative idea.
- Build it in Anima, publish it live, and share your link.
- Post your project on X/Twitter or LinkedIn, tagging @AnimaApp / @Anima and @codrops with the hashtag #Zero2LiveHackathon.
We’ll feature standout projects throughout the challenge and showcase the winners in this article.
Prizes
We’ve got some exciting rewards for the most impressive entries.
- 1st Place: 1-year Anima Pro + Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses

About Anima
Anima bridges the gap between design and development, turning Figma designs or existing web pages into live, editable code. It allows you to generate, preview, and export production-ready React, HTML, or Tailwind projects — so you can move from design to implementation without the usual handoff friction.
It’s fast, visual, and flexible: you can remix existing layouts, test new ideas, or prototype concepts in minutes. Whether you’re exploring AI-assisted design workflows or just want a quicker path from pixels to production, Anima gives you a creative playground to experiment, iterate, and build.
Let’s Build the Web We Want
Join us for a week of creativity, collaboration, and innovation. Push the boundaries of design, code, and imagination — and show the world what you can make in just one week.
