XHacks is a 36-hour long event tailored to help developers create products that last. Let’s be honest. Hackathons are great. But as with all great things, we think that they can be improved even further. As avid hackers ourselves, we’ve been to many hackathons and we’ve noticed one common trend - after the hackathon, most projects get abandoned and during the hackathon, most projects are made simply for prizes.
That’s why we made XHacks. It’s the first hackathon with a promise for all hackers - that we’ll try our very best to ensure that you leave XHacks with a proper product that can be used by real people individuals.
