We Need Your Help to Build This

 

Maximally Hack is a new open-source platform designed to make hackathons actually work for participants, judges, and organizers.

We already run some of India’s largest student hackathons, and every event shows us the same problems:

  • Participants struggle with team formation and submissions

  • Judges are stuck with messy spreadsheets and broken dashboards

  • Organizers need tools that don’t crash when 500 projects arrive at midnight

Maximally Hack is our answer. A Gen Z-first, AI-native hackathon hub built by hackers, for hackers. Our MVP will include event discovery, project submissions, judging dashboards, and organizer tools — with AI baked directly into the workflow.

We are looking for contributors across frontend, backend, design, testing, and DevOps. By joining, you’ll get the chance to:

  • Ship real features used in live events

  • Earn credits on our Wall of Fame and site

  • Build proof packs (PRs, case studies, live demos)

  • Access referrals, recommendations, and contributor perks
