KaiCode, our annual festival of open source projects, is announcing winners of the 2026 competition (and rewarding some cash to help them grow):

raprogramm/yew-nav-link 6★
Perfect $2048

ahoo-wang/wow 296★
Excellent $1024

choplogic/chop-logic-components 5★
Awesome $512

These projects were selected out of all 153 submitted this year. As you see, popularity didn't matter, but only the quality of code, discipline of development, strictness of testing and delivery pipelines, and the accuracy of documentation.

Many thanks to nine Jury members, who manually reviewed all 14 finalists. Thanks to the Steering Committee (Alexander Medvednikov and Nikita Sobolev) — they validated the results of the Jury. Thanks to Claude Code — he helped us not to miss important details in every finalist.

You are welcome to submit your open source project to the next year competition!
