However, these projects were submitted on May 13 and the deadline was May 12.

I submitted mine on May 13 around 1pm Indochina time (UTC+7). So the equivalent time in PDT time is around 11pm (UTC - 7) May 12. I barely make it in time!

Dev.to seems to display the date of each post according to the author's timezone without time. If you hover over the date, you can see a tooltip that displays the full time up to seconds.

Exactly, this.

Read below if you want to learn a lesson from my past experience.
Earlier I had been into a situation where I participated in one of the online hackathon during mid 2021(Covid time). I prepared all the code for the submission, and after all the bug fixes, I happily went ahead to submit based on my time zone 1 hour before 12am deadline, but to my surprise the form was already closed!

I reached out to the coordinators, and they shared they had already mentioned the submission deadline time zone in the event page. But to be honest it was written in really small font which I overlooked and completely missed.

So just a tip - Always carefully check the deadline/last date and the timezone, whenever you are committed to participate in any such global online events.

Thank you for your clarification!

I submitted mine on May 12, like 2 hours before the deadline, but I'm from Honduras, we are like one hour ahead of the PDT. I added an update on May 13 (Honduras time) before 12:59p.m. But still less than 11:59PDT... so both, the first submission and also the update was before the deadline. 🤷

This made me so happy!

I remember the past week breaking my back, mentally tired so many times, while listening upbeat tunes to motivate me and coding as fast and good as I could trying and to pull that project in so short time, so I worked very hard, some days I worked past midnight and some days I slept less than 5 hours I think... why so much effort? They say that when you love something you demonstrate that, I wanted to demonstrate my love for web development, for myself, my family and my God. Those were great motivations behind that project, and I hope you like it, because I Love it.

I knew web accessibility was going to take me considerable time, but, still then I couldn't leave that behind, you never know if one day you'll depend on it. But now, many people depend on it, you know? I'm glad to see how that effort is paying off.

Hey! Wanna see what else will I build to help designers and developers? Do you wanna talk? Would you like to see what else I'll add to that project? Help each other? Stick with me @schemetastic !
