What it does
hackTime is a real-time control room for running hackathons — not just a timer. Organizers can create multi-phase event flows, launch synchronized countdowns, broadcast announcements, and manage everything live from one dashboard. Participants join instantly with a room code and stay in sync throughout the event. No spreadsheets. No manual timers. No chaos — just one clean, synchronized system.
Run hackathons with live countdowns, multi-phase event flows, broadcast announcements, and room-code access for participants.
hackTime gives hackathon organizers one synchronized place to build event flows, launch fullscreen countdowns, broadcast announcements, and share room codes so participants can follow the live timeline instantly. Build and run a hackathon control room with live state, announcement tools, and session management. Set phases for kickoff, hacking, submissions, and judging so every transition stays on schedule. Show a clean, browser-based countdown on projector screens or confidence monitors without extra hardware. Define your event start, end, and phase durations inside the organizer dashboard. Launch a room and give participants a 6-character code for instant guest access. Use the stage screen…from hacktime.githubsrmist.in

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
