the hackathon cheat code
that isn't cheating.

hackly builds your whole project, in your accounts, before the deadline. you still understand every bit of it.

hackly — build #1 · team: three sleepy people
18:10:02▸
fixes left: 5 · features left: 2 · panic: 1● live at demo.hackly.dev
the actual problem

the idea was never the hard part.

teams lose at 2am on setup, not ideas. hackly does the setup. you get a working demo and a story to tell.

saturday · 02:14 · whiteboard
set up supabase auth
figure out why vercel build fails
env vars??? which file
write the readme
↳ you never have to know what any of this means
how it works

six panels. one weekend.

friday evening to sunday morning
01fri · 18:02

paste the hackathon link. hackly reads the rules, the theme and the deadline. that's all you type.

02fri · 18:04

pick one of 3 previews. each one fits the time you have. this part is free.

03fri · 18:09

one pass, one hackathon. no subscription. split four ways, it's less than the 1am momos.

04fri · 18:10 → 19:00

hackly builds it in your accounts. you watch every step in plain english.

05sun · 03:12

something broke at 3am? hit panic. it's usually fixed before you finish explaining it.

06sun · 11:40

and you can explain it. pitch, demo script and judge questions, written for your project.

connect once. then forget about it.

four buttons during setup. everything hackly builds lands in your own accounts. after the weekend, we hold nothing of yours.

questions people actually ask

straight answers. no "it depends".

still stuck? hello@hackly.dev, we're up anyway
what if it breaks at 3am?

hit panic. hackly finds the problem, fixes it and puts the site back up. on pro and team you don't even have to be awake.

is this cheating?

check your hackathon's rules. most allow ai tools now. if yours doesn't, don't use it there. either way you should be able to explain every part of your project, and we help you do that.

do you keep my code?

no. everything lives in your own accounts. we delete our copy after the weekend and keep only the receipt.

what does the ₹899 actually get me?

one full build, online. five fixes. two new features. one panic button. a pitch, a demo script and judge questions. valid till your deadline, for the whole team.

i run a hackathon. can i give this to all my teams?

yes, and it's cheaper that way. email hello@hackly.dev with the event name and the number of teams.
