The Hackathon Discovery & Registration Web Application is a centralized platform designed to simplify the process of discovering, organizing, and participating in hackathons.
Hackathon information is often scattered across different platforms, making it difficult for participants to find relevant opportunities. This project solves that problem by providing a single, user-friendly interface for both participants and organizers.
This web application allows users to search and apply for hackathons based on their location using the OpenStreetMap API.
📍 Users can:
- Discover hackathons within a 50 km radius
- Apply using a LinkedIn/Github integrated profile
- Track application status
- Communicate with Team Members
- Create / Manage Teams
- Local Team Group Chat
- Find Team-Mates
- Join existing teams
🧑💼 Admins can:
- Create and manage hackathons
- Review applications
- Accept / Reject participants and teams
- Respond User Queries / Feedbacks
The system acts as a bridge between opportunity seekers and event organizers, improving accessibility and participation.
