Finding hackathon teammates is still done in random WhatsApp groups, so I built a board for it. Roast it.

Every hackathon goes the same way: “need 1 frontend dev” gets posted in five WhatsApp groups, nobody knows who can actually build, and half the teams form the night before. So I built CrewForge: crewforge.online Hackathons sync daily from Unstop. About 75 open coding hackathons right now. Business-plan contests and quizzes are filtered out, and each card shows the deadline, team size and mode. Post your team with the roles you’re missing (frontend, ML, design…). Solo? Apply to a team with your role and a short note. The team owner accepts or declines, and gets your contact only if you choose to share it. No real names or emails are shown. Everyone appears as an anonymous builder handle, and your GitHub or portfolio is optional. Free, and open to every college. It’s early, and very few teams are on it yet, which is exactly why I’m posting. If you’re heading into a hackathon in the next few weeks, put your team up and see who applies. What I’d love from you: Would you actually use this over WhatsApp or Discord? What would make you trust a stranger as a teammate? What’s broken? Tell me. crewforge.online
