Good luck everyone!
Just dropping some inspo here, we are about to release the new Storyblok CLI v4 the next couple of weeks, 👀 github.com/storyblok/storyblok-cli...
Looking forward what crazy stuff you can ship with that 😜
Looking forward to all the creative submissions here!! Feel free to comment below with any questions or help you need 🚀
Hey, just sent over an email — would appreciate it if you could give it a quick look when you have a moment🙌🏼
Hey @curiousvlxd, not sure which email you are talking about. Do you have a question with regards to this challenge?
Yes, to this challenge.
I wrote you on your email: [email protected]
Hey @curiousvlxd, I would recommend that you ask any questions you might have here :)
To proceed, I need to enable OAuth authentication so that users can connect their own Storyblok accounts. I have already submitted a request for Enterprise access using the email I wrote to you from. Can you confirm whether I need to have the Enterprise plan in order to create a plugin?
Hey @curiousvlxd, great to see your interest in integrating Storyblok more deeply.
You do not need an Enterprise plan to create a plugin (like a custom field type or tool plugin) — those can be built and tested on any plan.
However, OAuth Spaces and official App registrations (via Partner Portal) do require partner access and are not available in standard/free accounts during the challenge.
For this challenge, we recommend sticking to what's publicly available unless you're already part of our partner program. You can still build powerful and creative tools using our APIs, SDKs, and field plugin system without needing OAuth!
Hope that helps — and we’re excited to see what you create! 🚀
Just heard of this, i'll give it my best
Good Luck @diochuks!! Looking forward to it.
This is great!!!
Excited for this
Best wishes @ariondev!!
Thank U sooo muchh
When logging in with Github.
and when signing in with email, it doesnt show any notification to check email.
But I received email and confirmed account and logged in succesfully.
Hey @axrisi, thanks for sharing. I would request that you bring this to our team here: support.storyblok.com
Is it possible to create an app in this challenge? I texted to support and applied to become a partner(seems like that's the must requirement to create custom apps)
Hey @axrisi, all participants are welcome to explore Storyblok using the standard free trial (14 days), which offers plenty of flexibility to build and showcase your ideas. The challenge is designed to be accessible without requiring any special access, partner status, or paid features.
While you're free to upgrade your account at your own discretion, we are not able to grant exceptions or enable features outside of what’s publicly available during the challenge. We recommend working within the available tools and limits to showcase your creativity — that’s part of the fun! 😉
my only question is can I create an App?
I researched many different articles from storyblok, and it's a bit confusing, there are extensions, plugins, apps, :) I'm willing to learn, that's why asking.
i found this article storyblok.com/tp/how-to-create-cus... it says I need some partner access to be able to create custom apps. (but I have doubts since it's published 2020) Your github also has some videos on loom with something called extensions (i think that's ex name of apps)
Anyways, I have great idea for an App. But need that oauth spaces. Just curious if it is not possible, then I will try to look for some other idea :)
Hey @axrisi, love that you're diving deep into the docs and exploring what's possible.
Yes, you can absolutely build an “App-like experience” as part of this challenge — using public APIs, field plugins, and other extensibility features available in the 14-day free trial.
However, OAuth Spaces and official App registrations (via Partner Portal) do require partner access and are not available in standard/free accounts during the challenge.
If your idea involves creating a custom integration, automation tool, or helper app that interacts with Storyblok via the Management or Content Delivery APIs, that’s totally fair and encouraged! You just won't be able to publish it into the official App Directory or use full OAuth-based app installation flows.
So in short:
This is going to be a fun one!
Indeed, excited to see how it goes!
