Indie hacker Hackathon?
Hi everyone I'm really interested in hackathons and making products, since this is a community of makers and people trying to build stuff.
I was wondering you will be interested in having a weekend long hackathon.
Some of the rules I thought about:
-
submission would be a link to you finished site or product
-
Anyone with an indie hackers account can vote for the best product.
-
No prizes just for fun.
There are also a lot of wantrepreneur around and I think this will be a way for them to build and release.
What do you think? are you interested or do you have any suggestions??
yes, 100% down for this. Have definitely thought about making a similar post.
Some suggestions:
1 Day Hackathon
12 or 24 hours from start to finish.
You need to submit before hackathon ends (enforces shipping code/products)
-----------------------------
The goal for me is just getting comfortable shipping products on a deadline, especially ones that only get to that 75 - 80% complete. I find I get stuck with polish.
Plus, it's amazing what you can build in 12 - 24 hours.
This is a great idea! How do I sign up for it? I'm most comfortable with web development.
I like the idea of a shorter & more intense event. With kids, I can't really clear a whole weekend. One day is much easier to schedule and I'm more productive with a stricter deadline.
Less time means less scope creep!
I would totally do this. I need a few weekends notice to clear my schedule though. Client work! Woo!
Sounds fun
Checking in on this idea. We all need a little motivation to get up and get creative. I am thrilled at the opportunity to get a little competitive. I wonder if there is a template somewhere that can help keep this thing organized. Anyone have suggestions on where such a template or guidance might exist?
Count me in!:)
I'd be down come the summer when my schedule opens up a little more.
Sounds awesome, count me in!
Great idea, count me in.
Definitely something cool to get involved in. I already started my journey of forcing myself to launch products. This will add some practice to that :D
That would be cool, maybe it would be nicer if it could be done through teams, to get to know each other better & combine the skills.
I think it would be helpful in getting us to ship something! I've got plenty of smaller ideas that I could work on.
I wish I could build things fast enough to do something like this, but I don't think I have ever thought of a project I could complete in 24 hours. At least not one worth doing. Do you have any examples of things other have created in under 24hrs?
YAH! 48h straight!
@vez1132 posted awhile ago with this idea too so you should connect with him! I'd definitely be open to participating
That would be a lot of fun :)
Perhaps even indiehackers staff would be able to get involved somehow (interview the winner?)
Have thought about this as well. Would need structure though for sure.
Count me in, sounds fun!
I would love to do this! Just need appropriate notice to clear my schedule.
I’m interested, I think it’s a great idea xD.
Sounds fun!
