Congrats to our 2021 GitHub Actions Hackathon Winners!

For the second year in a row, we co-hosted the GitHub Actions Hackathon with our friends at GitHub.

This contest took place over the last month and challenged the community to create and document usable workflows that utilized GitHub Actions (— existing or newly-built). Participants picked one of five categories for their submissions: DIY Deployments, Maintainer Must-Haves, Phone-Friendly, Interesting IoT, or Wacky Wildcards.

After much deliberation between the DEV and GitHub teams, the final results are in and we're so excited to announce the winners of the 2021 GitHub Actions Hackathon.
