Inspiration
A reminder system would be helpful for Hackathon participants.
Hackathon participants are often busy with their day-to-day lives and forget to check the Devpost hackathon site for updates. Adding reminders for weeks in advance, and creating a good template for when things should be finished to keep our group on track would help us stay on track and meet deadlines.
We have had times when the deadline has crept up on us when we thought we had much more time. Unforeseen troubleshooting and errors cost us valuable time in crunch time.
What it does
We've all been there: you're in the final stretch of a hackathon and it seems like your project is never going to get done. You have all these great ideas, but the deadline just keeps getting closer and closer.
You need a tool that can help you stay on top of your game and keep you from losing valuable time to unforeseen troubleshooting or errors.
We could use this tool to help us get organized and keep track of our progress in the form of check pionts.
We set reminders for weeks in advance, and create a good template for when things should be finished to keep our group on track.
