What's new on Hackathon Radar

Every notable feature and improvement we've shipped, newest first.

  • Jan 2026

    Filter hackathons down to what fits you

    A proper set of filters arrived, so you can narrow the calendar by the things that actually decide whether you'll enter — location, format, theme and prize pool — instead of scrolling past events that were never relevant.

    It turned the database from a long list into something you can interrogate: a handful of clicks and you're looking at exactly the weekends worth your time.

    Connect Hackathon Radar to your other tools

    Hackathon Radar began sending updates out to the other apps and services you use, so a new matching event can kick off whatever you've set up elsewhere automatically.

    It's the groundwork everything automated since has built on — the same plumbing that powers today's alerts and assistant connections all started here.

    Dedicated hackathon pages

    Every hackathon got its own full page, with prize pool, organizers, sponsors and dates laid out properly rather than crammed into a table row. Interception routes let you peek at one in a modal without losing your place in the list.

    These pages are also what made the database shareable and indexable — a real URL per event that holds up when it's dropped in a chat or surfaced by search.

    A database that updates itself daily

    The hackathon calendar began refreshing every day on its own, so new events appear and stale ones drop off without anyone updating listings by hand.

    That daily cadence is what makes the database something you can rely on day to day rather than a snapshot that goes out of date the moment it's published.

    The hackathon database goes live

    Where it all started: a fast, searchable database of hackathons, with dedicated organizer and sponsor pages so you can explore the people and companies behind each event.

    From day one it was built mobile-friendly, with accounts and notification settings wired in. Everything in this changelog since is a layer on top of that first foundation.
