It may sound silly but there are no hack weekends happening around us (We're located in India.)
We had already been thinking about doing something like this. And we realized that if we made ideas inexpensive and quick to implement, it would make our life easier and our startup more viable (analogy: git branching.)
How would we do that? Select, prototype, distribute and collect feedback. Selection being the key here (no chicken/egg problems, no enterprise software.)
We hope to primarily use 'Show HN's to distribute them and gather alpha users.
Does this sound like a good idea? Should we go ahead?

- SingAlong 15y agoHey sitanshu, I'm from Bangalore and I'm always game for hacking events anytime. CIS, I know, would be happy to host hackdays in Bangalore.
- sitanshu7 15y agoHey Akash, thanks for writing back. I'm from New Delhi. I'd love to take part in any hacking event. Please let me know if there's a good one being organized some time soon. CIS? Center for Internet and Society? Has it held any hacking event recently? My email id: vedanta5srj@gmail.com
- SingAlong 15y agoYa HasGeek conducts hacking events at CIS sometimes. HasGeek essentially works out of CIS. Every HasGeek event has a hackathon a week before the event in the same city as the event. So this sunday there was a JSFoo Hackathon in Chennai and coming sunday there's the JSFoo Chennai event.
