Welcome
Ready to build?
H4ck&Stack is a global community where developers and security researchers ship real work every month — projects, writeups, and tools — and earn XP with a public portfolio on the site. Everything runs through Discord: submissions, voting, and feedback, with dedicated spaces for builders and for security-focused work.

Step 4
Submit your work
Use My Submission on the site (signed in) or /submit in Discord for a link to the form. Include a repo link, optional demo URL, and optional writeup. Submissions are reviewed for the challenge rules.
