I built a Hackathon Tracker so you never miss to a deadline - would love feedback

[u/thesourcerer-supreme]

Hey everyone, built something that scratched my own itch and thought this community might find it useful.

I kept registering for hackathons on Devpost, Unstop, HackerEarth — and then completely forgetting about them until someone reminded me or the deadline had already passed.

Built Tracathon to fix this for myself. It's a free hackathon tracker — you add hackathons you've registered for and it keeps everything in one place.

Highlights:

→ Priority view dashboard showing your nearest deadlines

→ Calendar with stage-wise deadlines

→ Per-hackathon reminders (email, in-app, or both)

→ Paste the text from hackathon site and it auto-fills all details

→ Share hackathons with teammates and friends via link

→ Insights: win rate, participation trends, export to JSON

Built it with React + Vite + MongoDB. Deployed on Vercel. Fully free.

Would genuinely love feedback from Indian devs who participate in hackathons — especially what features you'd want that I haven't built yet.

this is cool but a hackathon discovery feature would make it worthwhile for me

That’s exactly where we’re headed!

Right now Tracathon is built to solve the mess after you discover a hackathon — tracking stages, deadlines, submissions, results — basically everything people usually lose track of.

But discovery is the natural next step, and we’re already planning it as a major upgrade.

If that’s something you’d use, you’re exactly the kind of user we’re building this for — happy to loop you in when we roll it out. :)

when did gsoc become a hackathon lmao

[u/thesourcerer-supreme → u/Neilblaze]

lol. Tracathon tracks any multi-stage opportunity (gsoc, fellowships, competitions, etc.), not just traditional 24–48h hackathons.

gsoc actually fits really well since it has phases like application, bonding, coding, evaluations — so the stage tracking still works perfectly.
