oss.gg hackathon Experience Sharing.

This year 2024 on month of October which is a month of open source called hacktober fest started the same as every year and Formbrick again came with good stuff called oss.gg a gamified hackathon.

Where competition is heavy literally heavy there was almost 4500+ players playing. For RAFFLES: To win at least a price since prices were very lucrative :)

And this brick price is very important......

This is enough about my oss.gg now about my stuff.

How I got started.

Created my first-ever onboarding video for papermark while so casing all its functionality.

PR Link

and the rest of the month passed in solving side quests and a little bit of issues only.

Note: Initially I thought code contributions would overpower me with the heavy points. But it wasn't it. So next time solve the side quest first :)


Overall I improved in writing though (not article but code)

A big Thanks to all the repo maintainers for being so calm and handler this rush. And take things positively.

7 repos were very good where participating was:

  • dub.co
  • Formbricks
  • OpenBB Finance
  • Hanko
  • Unkey
  • Twenty
  • Papermark

I tried to maintain consistency across the hackathon CODE + SIDE Quest.


Stress of scoreboard

The leaderboard updates in real time, allowing participants to track their rankings and see their progress. For those with a competitive edge, the dashboard includes links to all code issues and side quests for maximizing points, along with a playful guide on "How to Make 1050 Points in 5 Minutes without Touching Code."


Community

The Discord community serves as an active space for collaboration, advice, and support. It’s an excellent way to connect with others, get real-time assistance, and stay informed on event updates.


Final Thoughts
