🎄 Holiday Shipping Spree is LIVE!

[sarahs]

December is one of the few times of year when things slow down enough and you can actually think.

If you’ve got an app idea sitting in the backlog — or you’ve been meaning to try AI-assisted development on something real — we just kicked off the Holiday Shipping Spree challenge!

We’re seeing builders already diving in, and we’d love to see what this community ships over the quiet weeks.

And of course, what’s a challenge without some sweet rewards? Ship and submit for a chance to win:

• Builder Bundles (A MacBook Air, AirPods Max, Studio Display, Remarkable, and even more )
• A full year of Retool Business for your team

Learn more and sign up here →

Share what you’re building, post progress, or drop your final app in Community Show & Tell. We’re excited to see what this community ships before the year wraps up!

Welcome to the community, @sakshi_ranglani! It looks like you have a few different organizations associated with your email - which one have you been using for the Holiday Shipping Spree?

Hi there!

My friend and I submitted our project yesterday, but we didn't receive any validation or confirmation message after filling out the submission form. Is this normal, or should we have received some kind of acknowledgment?

Just want to make sure our submission went through successfully. Thanks for any clarification!

[sarahs]

Hi @Simon_Damiaens - Can you message me the email you submitted with? I can check to make sure it was properly submitted.

Hey Retool Team,

I am experiencing a similar issue like others with the confirmation of entry. Could you please confirm my submission?

My email: meetdhruv.23@gmail.com.

Thanks.

Hey team, i reached out to Retool Support and they have directed me towards this forum!

I uploaded my app submission on the evening of the Holiday Shipping Spree contest deadline, however on first submission I received an error message so reuploaded it - just wanted to confirm that a) it's been received and b) if you receive 3 copies from this email address, they are all the same one, apologies..

Thanks for your consideration! Had a great time creating it

Hi Retool Team & Community,

I know the announcement was slated for on or around January 27th—just curious about the announcement timeline for the Holiday Shipping Spree winners.

Will the winners be announced here on the forum, or should we keep an eye on the blog/email?

Wahooo! Thanks so much @sarahs.

This was a great way to spend my christmas break. So many ecommerce companies spend so much shipping air.

Feel free to check out the video on how we created it here: Box-it
