Summary: Apify launches $1M Challenge for developers

Why It Matters: Apify is incentivizing its developer community to build more tools. This could lead to a rapid increase in the number of scrapers available on their platform, making it harder for competitors to match their variety.

What Changed:

• Added a new section for "The Apify $1M Challenge" to reward developers for building new tools.
• Updated the homepage to focus on the Apify Store and its 10,000+ pre-built tools.
• Added new categories for tools including MCP servers, AI agents, and SEO tools.
• Introduced "Challenge picks" and "Rising stars" sections to highlight specific community-built scrapers.
• Increased the total count of available "Actors" from 15,339 to 15,355.
