LimmatRide & LimmatVibe:
The Floating Hackathon
Grab a floating lounger and drift from Wipkingen to Glanzenberg. A summer evening for building apps on the water, fueled by cold drinks and river vibes.
RSVP for the FloatMeeting Point
We gather at the GZ Wipkingen lawn. Look for the stack of inflatable recliners by the water’s edge.
Your Packing List
Cell Phone Chain
Mandatory. Clip your phone to the chair so the river can't claim it mid-commit.
Cold Drinks
Grab a beer or two. The current keeps cans chilled if you trail them in a mesh bag.
Waterproof Case
A clear, touch-sensitive pouch so you can ship code while floating, splash-free.
Floating Recliner
An inflatable lounger is your seat, desk, and boat. Bring a pump and pre-inflate.
Gear Recommendations
Don't have the kit yet? These are the two pieces that make or break the float.
The Float Itinerary
17:30 — Launch from Wipkingen
Meet on the lawn, inflate your lounger, crack a beverage, and enter the flow.
18:00 — The Mid-River Sprint
Pure vibe-coding. Build something delightful while drifting past the industrial silos.
~19:30 — Touchdown at Glanzenberg
Exit the water, deflate the loungers, gather on the bank for demos and the vote.
Sounds by DJ Jubelloop
Floating is better with a soundtrack. DJ Jubelloop will bring the speakers and keep the groove going from Wipkingen to Glanzenberg.
VibeCode Contest
The challenge is simple: build the most delightful, useful, or absurd app on your phone during the float. The group votes once we reach the riverbank in Glanzenberg.
Free to enter. Free to attend. Bring your own beer.
RSVP for the Float
Free event. We just want a rough headcount so we know how much riverbank to claim.
