It's stressful to walk into a hackathon without a team, even if you're very experienced. But that shouldn't decrease your chances of succeeding. We wanted to create an avenue for coders to be able to connect and enable them to build the best app of a hackathon. While similar apps allow users to post ideas, our search and sort algorithm focuses on the practical: what kind of people do you want to work with? With what kind of experience?
After a user registers or logs in with Github, he or she can search through the database of existing users who have listed their strengths, backgrounds, and any ideas they have. The user can click on others' profile pages to learn more about them and ask them to join their team.
Our app notifies the user in a unique way: with the new social-media app that everyone's talking about, Yo, we can let hackers and teams alike know that they've garnered interest instantly, so that they can connect and focus on hacking.
This allows users to find each other more easily, and also can serve as a portfolio page. On the a team's page, the members can upload videos through Ziggeo to display their application.
Enjoy!
