Welcome to DuckDuckHack!
We're a community of open source developers from around the world, contributing code to improve the DuckDuckGo search engine.
How to contribute
- Create new Goodie Instant Answers, and improve existing ones
- Note: Goodies are written in Perl (back-end) and JavaScript (front-end). They can also typically use CSS, and Handlebars Templates.

- Read the DuckDuckHack Docs to learn how to set up a development environment and start contributing!
What are Goodie Instant Answers?
Goodies do not retrieve data from a third party API. Goodies provide their results entirely through server-side code. They may use a static data file stored on DuckDuckGo's server, but they do not call external resources.
Example: JavaScript Minifier Goodie
