Should I apply if I am coding my project for a month now?

You mean you have already been building something? That’s fine. You can submit.

Interesting! In that case could Lockbot qualify for this? It's an open source productivity tool predominantly used by dev teams. [lockbot.app](https://lockbot.app/) [github.com/connorads/lockbot](https://github.com/connorads/lockbot/)

The website is hosted on Vercel. I started development last year and I can write a blog on its development.

Just been reading the rules 🧐 "(iv) development of the Entry was started during, and not prior to, the Entry Period (unless otherwise approved in the Hackathon Announcement Page)"

Okay, means that I am out too. Nevermind, had at least decent reason to write an article [Connor Adams](https://hashnode.com/@connorads)
