Dribdat – a honeycomb challenge board for sweeter hackathons

Hacker News

This is a demo website of Dribdat: a self-hosted open alternative to Devpost or HackerEarth for tinkering on prototypes with friends and hacktivists. It started out as a humble cookiecutter template for Flask in Python, an attempt to streamline the set-up for open data & open hardware hackathons. Before we knew it, the years went by, it's been hacked on by hundreds and used by thousands of people - and became a sustained initiative. Dribdat's design is inspired by hard-working honeybees, and the hexagonal stickers that are a staple of tech communities. It features a wiki-like content area with revision history, journals for teams, synchronization with popular code & data repositories, a PWA for silky smooth preloaded presentations, tools for distributing certificates, Hack Code of Conduct & Creative Commons by default. In the summer, our tools have become the subject of national R&D project, and there are bigger plans up ahead. I've polished off the documentation and Open Collective, updated the demo site with the latest release. Please let me know if you think it can help you run an event, or just to 'own your data' and mirror the results on another event platform. Some alternative products are listed in our market study ("Awesome Hackathon"), and I'm always happy to hear about your experiences. All this has been much inspired by the YC community, and I am looking for a bizdev partner in Startup School, so if this is up your alley: get in touch! Give it a spin at https://demo.dribdat.cc and see our code at https://github.com/dribdat Oleg ^seism
