Christmas Code Hunt

> what

Shuttle's Christmas Code Hunt, inspired by Advent of Code, invites you to solve daily challenges using Rust in a relaxed environment. Each weekday, you will be implementing an HTTP endpoint that returns the solution to the daily challenge, and deploy it on Shuttle. Join the fun, solve puzzles, embrace the holiday spirit, and get rewarded! 🎄🚀

> why

By participating, you get the chance to improve your Rust skills, build new friendships with like minded Rustaceans and enjoy the run up to the holidays!

> when

The first challenge will be released on December 1, 12:00 UTC (check your timezone). A total of 16 challenges will be released each weekday between December 1 and December 22.
