Improve "open-sourceness"

Open casassg opened this issue 7 years ago • 10 comments

I would like to make this easier to fork and work for other hackathons. Any advice?

I was thinking of either moving this to my profile or creating a new organization just for this.

Also, even though I like how simple is it to say backend, maybe adding a name to it would make sense if other hackathons need to use it.

What do you think?

To add

  • [x] Heroku deployment
  • [ ] Docker deployment
  • [ ] Add REST API

hackathon-backend. So it's just an API, no frontend?

Is there really other people interested in using this? What do those people due/use for now that this is not usable?

dasilvacontin avatar Oct 31 '17 21:10 dasilvacontin

Maybe making it ready-to-use with Heroku, or with Docker.

@dasilvacontin There's no API actually, it's a full-stack application. It includes a small frontend for registration and more. Similar to what PennApps, MHacks and HackTheNorth currently have.

There are a few hackathon organizers that asked me about this. Afaik HackJunction thought on using it, we are using it for HackCU (I made a huge refactor there that I'll bring here as well), and other organizers asked me during HackUPC.

Also, thanks about the Heroku and Docker suggestions

I'd say making it have APIs, or making the data easily accessible somehow, would be really important for this to be useful to other hackathons in general.

Adding the APIs to the todo list, should be easy with DRF.

Even though what do you guys think about moving this to a different team or profile

agreed. this would be used by more hackathons if it was a standalone project, rather than attached to a specific hackathon. giving it its own name under the same org (hackupc) would still work (rather than just being "backend"). On Tue, 31 Oct 2017 at 20:50 Gerard Casas [email protected] wrote:

The reason I was thinking on moving it away from hackupc org was to have a fork where we can have any specific hackupc stuff. Similar to what has been done with https://github.com/hackmit/quill

Moved to a new organization: github.com/hackAssistant and renamed to registration to make it more clear. This way I can transfer the maintainability to other hackathon organizers when I graduate.

I like this new hackassistant organisation.
