Assistance Build Challenge 2026
A two-week online hackathon for developers who want to ship something real. Use any combination of Assistance packages — ui, marketing, shared-data, saas-ui, or the Go backend — to build a working product. Best submissions win cash prizes, a feature on the Assistance blog, and a spot in the partner showcase.
Design Systems at Scale: Tokens, Components, and Governance
A recorded walkthrough of the Assistance design system — covering design token architecture, how Radix UI primitives are wrapped in the packages/ui library, and the governance model used to keep five Next.js apps and the Manager dashboard visually consistent.
Multi-Tenant SaaS with Go + Next.js 15
A recorded talk on building multi-tenant SaaS applications with the Assistance stack. Covers PostgreSQL Row-Level Security for tenant isolation, GoTrue JWT authentication, Stripe billing via the billing API, and App Router patterns for fetching tenant-scoped data safely.
Component Libraries with Radix UI + Tailwind CSS
A recorded webinar on building a production-grade component library with Radix UI and Tailwind CSS. Covers the packages/ui architecture inside the Assistance monorepo, class-variance-authority for variant management, the packages/icons SVG pipeline, and how the design-system and ui-library Next.js apps serve as automatically-updated documentation.
Past events
Building a SaaS Admin Dashboard with React 19 + TanStack
A live walkthrough of the Assistance Manager — the SaaS admin dashboard that ships inside the monorepo. We cover React 19 concurrent features, TanStack Query v5 data patterns, Radix UI component composition, and how the saas-queries and saas-ui packages keep code DRY across tenants. Expect live coding, Q&A, and a recording sent to every registrant.
New Year Hackathon — Assistance Edition
The first Assistance hackathon of 2026. Teams had 48 hours to build and demo a project using at least one Assistance open-source package. Ten teams submitted; three won prizes and are featured in the case studies section.
