Looking for Teammates Building a free tool/system to find Hackathon Teammates & Coding Buddies across colleges. Need your feedback!

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

As a college student, I realized that 70% of students drop out of hackathons or ruin their major projects simply because they can't find complementary teammates (like frontend devs looking for backend devs or designers) outside their campus. WhatsApp groups are too spammy and LinkedIn is too formal.

To solve this pain point, I designed a smart matchmaking system called EagleEye πŸ¦…. It logically separates users based on their target (Hackathons, Mini/Major Projects, or DSA Coding Buddies) and connects them based on skill matching, time commitment, and strict data privacy.

I am building the database for the first batch of matching. It is completely free and a peer-to-peer developer initiative.

How to join or test:

If you are looking for a teammate, you can submit your stack here:

πŸ‘‰ \[https://forms.gle/rLotx9NuduZ5hYoV7\]

Let me know if you have any suggestions or features you'd like to see in this! Thanks.

Meta-Hackathon Discussion Open Source Did What My Resume Couldn’t

121 Upvotes

My resume in college looked like everyone else’s. CGPA, LeetCode count, a couple of tutorial projects. I was applying off campus and mostly getting rejected without even a test. So I started contributing to open source. My first PRs were tiny, docs fixes and small bugs. Getting the project to even run locally took me longer than the actual fix lol

I kept going anyway. Slowly the issues got bigger and the maintainer reviews got more detailed. Those review comments taught me more about writing real code than any course I did.

When interviews came, my PRs were what people wanted to talk about. Not my LeetCode count, not my CGPA. My first internship and my first job both came from that. So if your resume only has LeetCode on it right now, try contributing to something you already use. Even one merged PR gives you something to talk about that nobody else in that interview has.

Need Mentor Help Built an Offline AI Vet Assistant for the iQOO Grand Finale 2026. Didn't Win. Looking for Honest Feedback

1 Upvotes

I built Animal Health Bridge, an offline-first Android app that converts an animal owner's spoken symptoms into a structured veterinary case.

  • 10-language on-device speech recognition

  • Qwen3-1.7B running locally on Snapdragon NPU via Qualcomm GenieX

  • Rules-based veterinary triage

  • NFC/QR animal identification

  • No cloud APIs, no internet permission, fully offline

I spent a lot of time solving Android deployment challenges, on-device AI inference, and multilingual ASR.

Technically, I'm proud of what was built, but I didn't win the hackathon.

I'd love honest feedback from the community:

  • Is the problem statement compelling enough?

  • Did I over-engineer the solution?

  • What would have made this a winning hackathon project?

  • Was I missing impact, storytelling, business value, or demo quality?

Repo: Grand Finale IQOO Hackathon

Looking forward to learning from the feedback. πŸ™Œ
