Exciting news❗
We’re launching the first-ever Baserow Challenge! The challenge is to create a new Baserow app that increases productivity while using the Baserow API. This is a great opportunity to showcase your development skills, creativity, and have fun while building with Baserow. Build it, and you could win a [Sony PlayStation 5](https://www.playstation.com/es-es/ps5/)! 🤯
**❗ If you haven’t yet, register now: [Baserow Developer Challenge](https://bsrw.io/XUi4i7) (REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED).**
## Getting started
[Check this thread](https://community.baserow.io/t/the-dev-challenge-has-just-started-check-out-our-app-ideas-and-resources-for-a-smooth-start/4551) where we shared the app ideas and problem statements related to productivity. This way, you can decide what to build if you’re not sure about any ideas. Moreover, we shared a live coding session on how to use the Baserow API as a backend for an application. It will help you get started smoothly!
## Challenge details
You will have 17 days to create a new application using Baserow as a backend:
- The challenge starts at 09:00 am CET on Thursday, February 22nd, 2024.
- Submit your work by 11:59 pm CET on Sunday, March 10th, 2024.
- Develop anything you want—a project, app, tool, extension, integration, or plugin—as long as it’s created around the Baserow API (Baserow is used as the backend), and makes some type of workflow more productive.
## **Additional rules**
The winner will write a blog post detailing the process of creating the app. This post will be published on the Baserow blog, with full credit to the winner.
## Prizes
There are three categories for which prizes will be awarded:
🏆 **1st place:** Sony PlayStation 5 and a Baserow swag box
🥈 **2nd place:** $100 gift card
🥉 **3rd place:** $100 gift card
## Submission

- App built with Baserow (URL to your app and documentation)
- Link to a repository
- Text description explaining the features and functionality of your app
- Screenshot demonstrating the app’s capabilities
- 2-3 minute demo video (optional)
## Guidelines
- You must use Baserow as a backend.
- You must publish the source code of your application.
- You should create a working software application (it does not have to be fully completed, but it should be an app that can be launched).
- Your project should be created during the event or include significant updates if you have previously built it.
- You can use any programming language or framework (except for visual ones, ex. low-code tools like Bubble).
- Bonus points if you include a simple video demonstrating the app and how it works.

Are we allowed to use [`tkinter`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html#module-tkinter), as a front end to the BaseRow backend?

It seems if `tkinter` is not a low-code or drag and drop tool for the frontend, then you can use it

Hey @cameronpak, the app looks great, and I really like the clean UI. 😍
At first, I wasn’t sure if this app was related to our productivity theme, but meditation does increase productivity in some ways, so I think it counts. Don’t forget to submit your app [via this form](https://baserow.io/form/UUxoQm4wtrghLLLuK5ilxt3jmsCgDLLg4XxMy9Eg9bY) by the 10th of March. 🙏

Precisely, gotta slow down to speed up!
And, thank you. I’ll submit the app soon once I wrap up a few things 🙂

Got to know about this challenge and I am excited to participate in this. Will be exploring the api and docs while ideating what to build in next couple of days.

Can I get more info on setting up user tables and JWT authentications?

Hi @arjun ,
There is an [article](https://baserow.io/blog/authenticate-baserow-using-database-json-web-token?utm_source=community&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=baserow%20authentication%20tokens) on the blog that explains the difference between database tokens and JWT tokens in Baserow.
To generate a JWT token, you can use the api endpoint [token\_auth](https://api.baserow.io/api/redoc/#tag/User/operation/token_auth) where you generate a token based on a baserow user.

Glad to say that finally got a very novel idea to apply baserow based on something I made couple of months ago. May have to reuse front visually but everything at the back would be very 'baserow’y and with a new approach.
The problem is that previous one was 20 days non-stop work. I am weekend free and would be pushing to do this before deadline and if it does, then would also demonstrate how easily baserow simplifies things. Will update my progress.
