FindCollabs Hackathon Winners: Kitspace and Rivaly

Hackers Archives - Software Engineering Daily

FindCollabs is a platform for finding collaborators and building projects. Three months ago we had our first hackathon, with lots of projects being created and collaborated on. In an earlier episode, we showcased the first place winner ARhythm.

Today’s show features two more interviews with winners from the first FindCollabs hackathon. Kitspace is an open source hardware registry, and Rivaly is an app for informal ranked leagues, such as ping pong games at work, or board game clubs among your friends.

The second FindCollabs hackathon is going on today. Check it out by going to findcollabs.com/open.
