Hackyard

Some context on Show & Tell... most hackathon projects die the day judging ends. People put a week into something real, it gets a few votes, and then nobody ever sees it again. I didn't want that to happen on Hackyard. so I built a place where every build keeps getting found. I went back through all 93 builds from the first 5 Yards, gave each one a name, a type and a short pitch, and tracked down every live link I could so you can actually try them, not just read about them. Where it's heading: Yard #6 adds a Show & Tell intro to the submit form on builds. when you submit your build, you can pick how it previews in Show & Tell, with your own short intro clip. your build, shown the way you want it! builders will also get their own analytics: how many people watched your build, hit "try it now", opened your code. that's private to you. the public page stays the same for everyone, with no likes and no counts, so every build gets the same stage! This is the first version and I want to hear what you think. Find me on Hackyard as (hixon) & send me your feedback there!

Yard #6 theme is Offline. @_waela picked it after winning back-to-back, then decided to sit this one out and give everyone else a shot. Respect! So the Champion spot is wide open. Build something that works with zero internet. 40 spots, kicks off Nov 2.

Yard #5 taught me a lot about how voting should work on Hackyard... Starting with Yard #6, the builders crown the Champion and the members get an award of their own. Here's what happened and exactly how it works now.
