Hackathon

Overview

HackathonAwesome is an invaluable resource for developers participating in hackathons. It presents a curated list of templates and resources aimed at simplifying the setup process for project development. By providing ready-to-use boilerplates and essential tools, it helps participants focus on their project ideas rather than getting bogged down in tedious setup tasks like environment configuration or package installations. This compilation caters to both novices and experienced developers, allowing them to dive straight into their coding passions.
