We wanted to make a nice site for hackers to register on.

It also has a really nice system for organizers to work with MyMLH, this is what we would really love for others to build upon! (We know, php isn't the coolest hacker language, but it works!)

Design Requirements:

  • Automatic Waitlist Management
  • MyMLH Integration
  • TCNJ Authentication
  • Resume Collection
  • Mailchimp Integration
  • Ability for Organizers to Manage Hackers (View Hacker Info, Check In, Drop Application, Toggle Admin, Toggle Waitlist)
  • Check In
  • Hacker Self Service ('Day Of' Dashboard, Update Info, Drop Application, Contact, View Past Emails)
  • Organizer Notifications via Slack (Error Reports, Metrics)
