Helping founders & devs go from idea → production backend in minutes

The Zero to Query (ZTQ) Hackathon has officially come to an end. 🚀

Over the past few days, I've been reviewing every submission, and I have to say that I'm genuinely impressed by what builders created with Sub0.

One thing stood out across multiple teams:

"Once things clicked, it got fast. Faster than anything I've built with Node, genuinely."

Another builder said:

"I kept looking for where to write the controller... then realized I didn't have to."

And another:

"I'll try to use Sub0 a lot more going forward."

These weren't prepared testimonials. They came from developers after building and shipping real projects during the hackathon.

Seeing builders create production-ready apps with authentication, real-time features, AI integrations, cron jobs, and complex backend workflows—all without writing traditional controllers and services—has been incredibly validating.

To everyone who participated: thank you for trusting Sub0, pushing its limits, and giving honest feedback. Every suggestion has already helped shape where we're taking the platform next.

The judging process is now underway, and the winners will be announced on August 5th. 👀🏆

Good luck to every team—you've all built something worth being proud of.

The best metric isn't just retention — it's customers who come back and bring others with them.

Are customers coming back? Yes.

Are they telling people? Absolutely. 😊

That's the kind of growth you can't buy.

To all our repeat++ customers: thank you. ❤️

Don't worry—this is just the beginning. 🚀

LingoQL Hackathons are held every quarter, and the next one is coming in Q4.

🗓️ Registration opens October 1, and we'll announce everything soon.

If you're planning to compete, now is the perfect time to prepare:

• Learn LingoQL
• Explore Sub0
• Read the docs
• Build a few projects
• Push the platform to its limits

This time, we're coming in even hotter — with more sponsors, exclusive perks, bigger rewards, and even more opportunities for builders.

The best way to win isn't to wait until registration opens. It's to start building today.
See you in Q4. 🔥

What happens when developers stop writing backend boilerplate?

The Zero To Query Hackathon gave us the answer.

🥇 Soforotto (by @OBishrel) won 1st place — a privacy-first support platform for teens with an entire backend defined declaratively in Sub0.

🥈 Ajo (by @ajayprakash_01) took 2nd — a beautiful take on West Africa's rotating savings system with real-time collaboration, WebSockets, and zero handwritten server code.

🏆 Prizes:
• 1st — $250 LingoQL Credits
• 2nd — $100 LingoQL Credits

Congratulations to both builders. Your creativity, execution, and attention to real-world problems made judging incredibly difficult.

Can't wait for the next one in the final quarter of this year. ❤️

🏆 Winners of the first Zero To Query Hackathon by @lingoqlHQ and @Holydigits101!

🥇 Soforotto — $250 LingoQL Credits

🥈 Ajo — $100 LingoQL Credits

Both projects were built with Sub0 + LingoQL and showcased what's possible with declarative backends. Congratulations! 🚀

Sub0 keeps getting better.

New features added over the weekend:

🔐 Built-in Ciphers for seamless encryption & decryption of sensitive data.

🌊 Native HTTP Streaming for real-time responses from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and other AI and streaming (video, text, bytes etc.) providers.

This means you can build AI chat apps, copilots, streaming APIs, and real-time experiences that stream directly to your web or mobile app—in minutes, without wrestling with SSE, buffering, or proxy logic.

Still a lot more coming.

[LingoQL @lingoqlHQ]

Two new additions to Sub0:

🔐 Ciphers — built-in encryption & decryption for sensitive data.

🌊 HTTP Streaming — stream responses from OpenAI, Claude, and other AI APIs to your apps in real time.
Building AI-powered backends just got a whole lot easier.

[Sam @JustSub0]

Sub0 is getting native MCP support.

Build your backend once, and it automatically becomes an MCP server that AI agents can discover and interact with.

Still early and actively building it. I'd love feedback—what would you expect from an ideal MCP-enabled backend?

[Sam @JustSub0]

🚀 Dear LingoQL Hackers,

Did you know you can generate your Sub0 endpoints without spending chat credits?

Just head over to the LingoQL docs and use the built-in AI to generate your endpoints directly—no credits, no friction.

👉 Example below 👇
Copy, paste into your Sub0 project editor, and you’re good to go.

I have a business idea for you:

Start a marketing agency and refuse to take a dime upfront.

Instead, sign a contract with the startup/business and only get paid when they get paying customers.

Why?

Because I suspect there are millions of businesses with great products that aren't failing because the product is bad — they're failing because they lack the capital, expertise, or reach to get in front of the right audience.

So instead of charging retainers, the agency acts as a growth partner and shares in the upside.

Win together. Lose together.

Would this actually work, or would the agency go bankrupt before seeing results?

Curious what founders, marketers, and agency owners think. Have you seen agencies already doing this?

Share your thoughts below...

Most analytics platforms visualize traffic using Linear Normalization. Sounds reasonable — until your data is skewed.

Imagine traffic from two countries: 1,500 requests and 10 requests. With linear scaling/coloring, the country with 1,500 requests dominates the color range, while the one with 10 becomes almost invisible. The data is there, but the visualization hides it.

At LingoQL, we use Logarithmic Normalization for our traffic maps. Instead of letting large values overwhelm everything else, logarithmic scaling compresses the upper range and expands the lower range. The result? You can spot both major traffic sources and emerging ones at a glance.

This is a classic data visualization problem: when distributions are heavily skewed, linear representations often conceal information. Logarithmic scaling reveals the structure hidden in the long tail.

Analytics should help you discover insights—not hide them.

That's why LingoQL's built-in analytics are designed with mathematics, not just aesthetics, in mind. 📊🌍

[LingoQL @lingoqlHQ]

Ever wonder why some analytics maps hide smaller traffic counts? 🤔

Most tools use Linear Normalization—so if one country has 1500 requests and another 10 (a skewed data), that “10” barely registers visually.

LingoQL uses Logarithmic Normalization: every visitor counts! 🌍📊✨

FREE analytics for every deployed service!
