EmbedCatalog is participating in Hacktoberfest 2026

Includes video and contributor perks

Hi everyone! A little late, perhaps, but in this article, I’d like to share that my new project is participating in Hacktoberfest.

I have been participating with projects for three years now, and this year was no exception. Today, I would like to talk about this in more detail.

Well, let's get started! 🏎


πŸ”Ž About Hacktoberfest

First of all, I would like to briefly explain what kind of festival this is. Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open source throughout October. It’s free, and it’s for everyone, wherever you are in your open-source AI or software creating journey.

Preview

It is worth noting that this year, in-person events are also being held in many cities around the world.


πŸ’Ž My new project

It is called EmbedCatalog, and its purpose is to create an embed that you can add to your website, README, and so on.

Site

Over the course of a month, the core functionality required for the catalog was implemented. Features such as user registration, project statistics, custom embeds, and much more were added.


πŸŽ₯ Video announcement

I had the idea to create something new for this festival, so I recorded a short video that you can watch here:

The text was written in a couple of minutes, but it turned out pretty well, I think :)


πŸ‘€ What else was done?

I also created a small page where I listed all the issues in detail and added the contributors' avatars.

Page

I’ve created 10 issues that you can check out and help with by writing code.


πŸ’¬ Feedback

I would really like to hear your opinion on this festival. It seems like a pretty interesting format - a chance for people to work on open-source projects and make new connections within the developer community.

Did you keep the embed output as plain HTML and CSS, or does it depend on the catalog's runtime?

This is an image generation. A link to it is generated on my website.

I also wanted to add to the article that I’ll be creating a unique embed for contributors this month.
