Product Vision Statement

What and why?

CodeHunt is a information hub for users in the Computer Science field. In the information age, information overload slows our productivity. There are excessive events/contest occurring on multiple web contest websites, such as LeetCode, CodeForces, Kaggle. It's time-consuming to keep track of all the events by bouncing from website to websites. Our goal is to build a webapp that collects and aggregates information on the user's behalf. All they need to do is login to CodeHunt and see the pages that they have subscribed to and feature events. We want to give Computer Science students the opportunity to receive an offer from their dream company and dream job. Students regularly participating in coding contests and events is one step closer to that dream title. Struggling students are overwhelmed when started searching for contests, and even if they did, keeping up to date with the events and maintaining their schedule is inconvenient and unproductive. Our product distribute the resource that allow users to be educated beyond the classrooms.

For whom?

The end-users are Computer Science enthusiasts and students. Due to limited resources, we provide limited service to CS students at NYU. Narrowing our target will allow us to work with what we are familiar with, so the product best suits the end-users. In the future we will extend the service to anyone interested in CS related events, coding contests, job positions, and the world-wide web.
