:: WELCOME TO THE ARCHIVE

hi. welcome. the internet forgets a lot of what people make — sites go down, links rot, repos go private. Ledger is a small corner where the stuff you build gets to stick around.

ship a project here and it gets a name, a date, and a line in the catalogue so someone — maybe years from now — can still find it and see what people were making in 2026. it's a hack club ysws, it's free, and it lives for decades on purpose. new here? you're in the right place.

have questions or just want to talk? come hang out in #ledger on the Hack Club Slack — we're friendly and we don't bite.

:: JOIN THE COMMUNITY

not in the Hack Club Slack yet? that's where this whole thing lives. come build stuff with us, ask questions, meet other people shipping things. everyone's welcome.

:: SHIP IT TO THE ARCHIVE

built something? file it here. once it's accepted your project gets a permanent entry in the catalogue — name, description, date filed, and a link the future can follow. takes about 4 minutes. first ship? even better.

» SHIP NOW «

[!] before you ship: your project has to actually run and have a real name + a short description. no spam, no forks where you changed nothing. if you built it yourself then ship it, doesn't matter if it's small or bad. we want it.

the stickers and widgets are draggable. there's a toggle for them in the top right.

:: FREQUENTLY ASKED

how long does an entry stay? indefinitely. the whole point is entries don't expire when the hype does.

is this free? yes, this is all 100% free — funded by a nonprofit called Hack Club.

what's a ship? a ship is basically making a project and submitting it. to ensure the ship is worthy of possessing a place in such archive, make sure your project has a non-generic title, a 2–3 sentence description, a readme, and all the files in a github repo. also a demo link is needed — it should be a link to a website for example, or if that's not possible, a github release.

what is a review? we just check if your project meets the guidelines, and it usually takes less than 2 days.
