About the Project
Preserving Winning Hacks
HackWinnerDB is an open-source, community-curated archive of hackathon-winning software and hardware.
The Problem
Hackathon winners are scattered. They live on event sites that expire, Devpost galleries, blog posts, social threads, and README files. A year later the project is hard to find and the award is hard to confirm.
The Solution
HackWinnerDB collects them into one open, searchable index. Each record links a project to the hackathon it entered, the awards it won, and the public source that proves it.
Git-Native Data Architecture
The dataset is a first-class product. Clone the repository and the winner data is right there in clean YAML — you never have to run the website or an API to query it.
