It is time to kick off The Custom Component Challenge!
Custom components let you bring any React component into Retool — but getting started can feel like a lot to take in. In this kickoff session, we'll walk through everything: what custom components actually are, what's possible in Retool, how to build and import your own, and how to use the new community GitHub repo to find and share components. New(er) to GitHub? We'll walk you through it.
This is the official launch of the Custom Component Challenge and our repo — stick around to learn how to participate, what to build, and what you can win.
You'll leave with: a clear mental model of custom components, a local dev setup that works, and a challenge brief to start building.
