Our first hackathon. Three hours to build, one hard rule: post a live URL in the WhatsApp group by 2:45. 6 teams showed working products to the room. Judging was blunt: does it work, is the problem real, would someone use it this week. Code quality was never a category. Team Homie's product took the prize, and one build outlived the day entirely: the member directory that became calaiclub.com, cream and ink and all, started as a hackathon project in this room.
