Moments captured at hackathons, game jams, and community meetups across Lumbini Province.
The tools you actually need
No fluff. A verified identity, a team that clicks, and projects that ship — everything else is optional.
Your Hacker ID, Signed & Verified
A public profile with cryptographically signed trust markers. Every certificate and contribution is timestamped and independently verifiable — no middleman required.
Team Matching That Actually Works
Describe what you're working on. We'll find teammates with complementary skills — designers who need developers, IoT tinkerers looking for ML people without the cold DMs.
Hackathon Task Management
Drag-and-drop Kanban boards baked into every event. Assign tasks, set priorities, track progress — all inside your hackathon dashboard.
Bounties with Real Payouts
Complete real-world challenges and earn payouts through Open Collective. Transparent, publicly tracked, zero fees taken.
Auto-Verify from GitHub
Connect your repos. Your commit history timestamps become proof of work — automatically synced to your profile the moment you push.
Every project, filterable and sortable
A table view that looks and works like a database. Filter by status, sort by priority, or search for what you need.
Your identity should be yours
A profile that travels with you — not locked inside a single platform.
