hackerparty

Run the hackathon, not the spreadsheet.

Registration stays where people already signed up. hackerparty is everything after that: who is actually coming, what you told them, who is on which team, and how the judging went.

Six-digit code by email. No password to forget.

Triage

The guest list, triaged

Luma keeps the registrations. hackerparty mirrors them and lets you approve, waitlist or drop people without ever writing back — and shows you where the two disagree.

Judging

Judging that adds up

Your own criteria, judges assigned by coverage, by hand or by specialism, optional blind rounds, and a scoreboard that corrects for the judge who marks everything a four.
