Show HN: Hackathons – Easily Find Local and Global Hackathon Events

Hello everyone,

Recently I, along with my amazing colleagues, won the Google Startup Weekend (St.Cloud) event (it's basically a hackathon). After winning that hackathon I came to the realization that if one of my colleagues hadn't pointed out that this event existed, I would have never known about the event. I began to look at the Apple app store the following day to find an app that provided a comprehensive list of hackathon events with an attention to detail and great organization. Unfortunately, I couldn't find one. What I found was a pile of apps from different universities and non-profit organizations for their own hackathon events. I needed something with all events from various organizations, and so Hackathons was created. I created Hackathons in order to find local hackathon events around me and to also find events around the globe in the event that I may someday travel to participate in these wonderful events.

The Hackathons app currently allows users to search local and global hackathon events, save events to their calendars, find location information, find out whether or not a particular hackathon event is free, and register for events.

Your feedback is highly appreciated.
