reward rate

What you build

Any website (a tool, a game, a widget) where every interaction works without a mouse. Deploy it publicly via GitHub Pages or Vercel etc, open source it, and include at least one keyboard-interactive feature.

Projects with gesture controls (swipe, pinch, touch navigation) unlock higher reward tiers. Most projects take 3–5 hours.

FAQ

Press Enter to expand.

!click is open to teenagers aged 18 and under anywhere in the world. You don't need to be a Hack Club member, though it helps for community support and tooling like Hackatime.
No a tool, game, or interactive widget all qualify. The key requirement is that it's deployed publicly and has at least one interactive feature that works entirely via keyboard.
Every interactive element - menus, modals, forms, buttons must be reachable with only Tab, Enter, Escape, and arrow keys. A visible focus indicator is required.
Only for art/design work, and it cannot exceed 30% of your total time. You must submit a build/journal.md file with timestamps and screenshots of every art session. All coding time must be tracked via Hackatime.
Only new work counts. If you're retrofitting keyboard support onto an existing project, only the hours spent on the new accessible work count toward your total.
Projects with swipe, pinch, or touch navigation alongside full keyboard support qualify for the >5hr tier and the keyboard grant, even if total time is under 5 hours.
After review and approval, rewards are sent via Amazon or an equivalent grant where Amazon isn't available. All within the $5/hr rate based on your tracked time.
