This is a really nice challenge idea. 🩷
I ended up making Sprinkle, which helps figure out where you donate various items and where that donated stuff can actually be useful nearby, and what items each chartity is in need of.

Brilliant!

Generosity is one of the most fundamental virtues that bring about peace. Peace can be difficult to achieve at times, but generosity can still change lives for the better, even when peace may seem impossible.

So it's an even better theme. 🥰

This is amazing. I was inspired to build a charity donations engine that runs on USSD with Gemini and Snowflake(cortex AI) Read more about it here

Question: I know that I can't change anything after the deadline, but if I only pin the post in my DEV profile from Dashboard after the deadline, will that be counted as a Change / Edit?

Just put any updates/changes you make after the deadline in your readme and you'll be good 👍

I built DonateCity — a gamified donation experience where your donations actually build and upgrade a virtual city.

Would love to hear your thoughts! check out the project and how I built it:

Just submitted Ripple 💧 for the Best Use of Google AI category! It's an AI-powered micro-mission generator built with Gemini 3.6 Flash to turn spare time into daily acts of generosity. Check out the post here: dev.to/inkwavebytes/ripple-transfo...

This theme is wonderful. It's refreshing to see a challenge that puts kindness and social impact front and center. The variety of projects already shared in the comments — from USSD donation tools to item-matching platforms to AI-powered aid translation — shows how many different ways tech can amplify generosity. Looking forward to the winner announcements on October 1!

I am putting together a team for this challenge. The plan is to brainstorm a unique idea, build a high-performance mobile app, and win. I bring strong mobile development skills to the table. Looking for motivated teammates. Let's build something awesome!

I was actually going to participate, but for the last two challenges, nobody commented or liked anything—and it’s not just my posts; the whole platform seems dead and really sluggish. It’s discouraging to waste time creating something that no one sees.

for the past three days I have been working on Accessible Generosity Translator, it was my first time participating in a DEV challenge, I liked the idea behind it, so I came up with a solution related to one of my community issue nowadays:
~~~ Accessible Generosity Translator ~~~
This tool helps local volunteer groups convert unstructured dialectal aid notes into professional, itemized Markdown fundraising reports using Google Gemini.

Implementing rotation from scratch taught me the same lesson: the family lineage is the part everyone skips, and it is where the actual security lives. Keeping spent tokens around feels wasteful at first, but deletion destroys the evidence, exactly as you say.

One question on the grace period: does Auth0 extend grace to any recently spent token in the lineage, or only to the single most recent one? It seems like restricting grace to just the latest spent token would shrink the attacker's window while still covering the common client retry case, but I have not seen that documented anywhere.
