uOttaApp - Hackathon Application Tracker
Overview
Â
uOttaApp is a web application forked from HackMIT’s open-source hackathon management portal. I built it for my university’s hackathon, uOttaHack, to save our organizing team hundreds of hours spent filtering and sorting through participant applications. It also offers participants an easy way to track their engagement and application status.
