"Are you tired of swiping left and right on Tinder without finding your perfect match? What if you could use the same matchmaking features of Tinder, but for finding the perfect team members for your upcoming hackathons? Many hackathon participants struggle to find team members with complementary skills and shared interests. They spend a lot of time searching and networking with others which often leads to frustration.Our Solution is to build an app that matches hackathon participants with like-minded individuals who share common interests and goals. If two users swipe right on each other, they can start chatting within the app to discuss their project ideas and goals.

Organisers can Say goodbye to the hassle of setting up a separate Discord server for hackathon communication. Our app simplifies the process by providing a built-in group creation feature. As soon as participants register for the hackathon, they are automatically added to the dedicated group within the app. This group serves as a centralised hub for all hackathon-related communication, eliminating the need for participants to join external platforms.Moreover, once the hackathon concludes, the group is automatically deleted, eliminating the need for manual clean-up and ensuring efficient management of hackathon-specific communication within the app.

Reason For Tackling the Problem : Finding Team Members : Many aspiring participants face significant challenges when it comes to finding suitable team members for hackathons. While there are numerous websites that facilitate hackathon registrations, these platforms often lack the ability to effectively connect individuals and form cohesive teams. Consequently, many talented individuals are unable to participate in hackathons due to a lack of compatible teammates. Even popular networking platforms like LinkedIn have failed to address this issue.LinkedIn's focus is on professional networking across various industries, and while it offers a vast user base, it may not attract individuals specifically looking for hackathon collaborations. LinkedIn's search and filtering options are not optimised for hackathon-specific criteria.

Effective Communication: Creating a separate Discord server for hackathon communication introduces challenges and inefficiencies.It requires an additional effort from participants to join and navigate another platform, leading to potential confusion and a fragmented communication experience.This can also result in missed updates and reduced engagement. managing a Discord server separately adds an extra layer of complexity for organisers, who must ensure that all participants join the server and have access to the relevant channels. Manual deletion of group after the hackathon requires extra effort .Our app eliminates these obstacles by providing a built-in group feature, automating participant joining and group deletion, simplifying communication, and enhancing collaboration for hackathon organisers and participants.

How our App - CodeSwipe Works

Our app allows users to specify their preferences for team members' location and skills. Using a swipe feature, the app matches users based on their preferences and establishes connections. Once a match is made, users can start chatting within the app to discuss their project ideas and goals.

If users decide to collaborate, they can create a team within the app. The team leader has the ability to assign tags and roles to team members for better organisation. There is no need to join separate Discord servers; our app integrates with the organiser's group to manage communication. As soon as a user registers for a hackathon, they are automatically included in the group present in the app. The group created for the hackathon's communication is automatically deleted once the hackathon ends, ensuring a clean and organised experience.
