Hackathon check-in system backed by Nucleus.

Discontinued since HackTX 2017

HackTX check-in is now powered by Cumin!

Setup

Clone this repository into a directory of your choice and open using Android Studio. Electron requires the latest Android SDK and support libraries, along with Google Play Services. Use SDK Manager to get these dependencies and gradle should take care of the rest.

Edit electron.props so it points to the API root of your Nucleus instance. For more help installing Nucleus, see here.

To compile, just run gradlew build.

Usage

QR codes

Electron primarily uses QR codes to get an attendee's information. The QR code is simply the attendee's email address in plaintext. For examples, see the HackTX Android and iOS applications.

In the event that a QR code is not available, an attendee's email address can be manually entered.
