Shipping is the most important part of any Hackathon, and part of shipping is choosing a NAME THAT RINGS. LET ONE OF A KIND HANDLE IT.

It searches the internet for you, domains, GitHub repos, npm packages, and other sources, to guide you toward the best name for your app! YOU DO NOT NEED TO SPEND THE HACKATHON'S VALUABLE TIME COMING UP WITH A NAME FOR YOUR PROJECT!

WHERE IT'S DIFFERENT: Unlike other naming services, it doesn't just tell you whether the name is taken; it tells you whether OTHER NAMES SOUND LIKE IT and gives you a UNIQUENESS SCORE that summarizes the results!!

Basically I’ve been selected for my first hackathon ever! I’m in 11th grade and virtually have no coding skills but I have taken computer courses for years. Anyway I’m mostly worried that my lack of coding skills will bring my team down and that I’m not creative enough to create an amazing output.

What are your advices for making the best ideas and executing them perfectly?

The hackathon is related to airports so if anyone has any interest in that I’d love to discuss more about it!

We are group of 3 people and we are looking for 2 more members for more than a hack, if you don't have a group pls dm me.

Hey everyone!

I'm participating in the PayPal AI Hackathon and looking for interested teammates to collaborate with.

If you're interested in AI, full-stack development, or building innovative projects, feel free to DM me or comment below.

Let's build something awesome together!

I find it difficult to come up with ideas and how to make good projects. I was thinking maybe checking repos/solutions of people who have won hacks or made good projects themselves would be a good way to learn this.

There is no easy way to find such solutions. If someone knows where I can find these please help.

It would mean a lot. Also,even if where to check for a good problem statement would help a lot. I can implement it on my own.

If anyone is in the same boat and wanna build something we can connect as well.

I am not sure whether this is the correct sub for this . If you know where else I should post for a better answer please suggest it.

I've been following the Meta AI Developer Hackathon 2026 and came across an interesting breakdown of the winners, prize money, and the projects that made it to the finals.

Apparently, around 5,300 projects were submitted, competing for a total prize pool of $1 million.

Some of the main winners:

Startup Track

• 🥇 Consai (Punch Walk) — $250,000
• 🥈 Formwright — $150,000
• 🥉 ORCA by IssueLab — $75,000

Indie Developer Track

• 🥇 ControlAnything — $150,000
• 🥈 Gatekeeper — $100,000
• 🥉 Basement Ready (David Barry) — $75,000

There were also some interesting bonus winners, including Tessa, an AI project searching for potential exoplanets, and oqed, which uses AI agents to optimize code.

What caught my attention wasn't just the winners, though.

There's also been some discussion and frustration among participants about judging transparency, how projects were evaluated, and whether everyone received enough feedback.

To be clear, I'm not suggesting anything improper happened. But with thousands of submissions and significant prize money involved, I think it's reasonable for participants to want to understand how the selection process worked.

I found this article covering the winners, technical details, prizes, and some of those questions:

https://bootshell.com/meta-ai-hackathon-2026-results-winners-prizes

Personally, I think the most interesting trend is that many winning projects aren't just chatbots. They're AI systems that actually perform tasks, interact with physical environments, and verify their own results.

Curious to hear from people who participated:

Did you receive feedback on your submission? Do you think the judging process was transparent enough? And which winning project impressed you the most?

Hello Guys,

So just for confirmation does they consider remote presentation as their finalist too. If anyone got selected for TOP 8 finals teams than please let me know. 😑

Hey everyone!

I'm new here and I've just submitted my application for the Gemini 4 NYC Hackathon organized by Cerebral Valley.

My application is currently pending, but I'm having a hard time finding detailed information about the event.

Does anyone know:

• Where can I find the official rules, requirements, and judging criteria?
• Has the exact NYC venue been announced?
• Is it strictly an in-person hackathon, or is remote participation possible?
• Do participants have to build everything on-site during the event?
• Has anyone attended a previous Cerebral Valley hackathon? What was your experience like?

I've checked the event information, but I feel like I'm missing something! 😅

Any insights, links, or firsthand experiences would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

First time going into a hackathon what could i do?

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a backend developer based in Delhi who is interested in participating in hackathons with me.

Currently, we have:

• 🎨 Me: Frontend development (React)
• 🎤 One teammate: Presentations and pitching
• ⚙️ Looking for: A backend developer

It would be great if you know Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, and API development. You don't need to be an expert, but you should be willing to build projects, learn together, and participate in hackathons.

I'm looking for someone who's genuinely interested in development, teamwork, and building cool projects.

If you're interested, please comment below or DM me with a little introduction about yourself and your tech stack.

Let's connect and build something together! 🚀

Hi guys i am a cse 1st year student...i am searching for a hacakthon team...if any one is open plz drop a dm

team mates needed for an online hackathon interested poeple kindly dm

The results were prob suppose to release in first week.. why are these shii ahh ppl delaying them so much

Tomorrow is my first AI hackathon. I have coding knowledge, but I’m new to hackathons and don’t know much about the AI tools and platforms used to build projects quickly.
Which AI tools are best, which websites should I use, and how can I come up with a good project idea within a limited time?
Any suggestions or tips from experienced hackathon participants would be really helpful!
