Show HN: A Platform to Explore Hackathons Around the World

https://hackathon-finder.shetty.me

I built a website which lists all hackathon posting from various other sources (currently Devpost and Unstop), on click it redirects to the original source.

Surprisingly, the APIs these websites used were open, which they used to populate their page with hackathons data.

So by spending maybe around 3 hours? This is the end result. It is built using Nextjs 15.

I tried to make it as best as I can, but hey, would love to hear any comments on improvements. There maybe some mistakes but yeah, I am here to learn.

Also, not the greatest of the UIs, but I wanted to get out the MVP, while most of my time was spent in normalizing the JSON from different hackathon website APIs.

I am looking to add more sources, eg. devpost, hackerearth, hack2skill, etc. I might need to scrape their data as their HTML is prepopulated when it is fetched, or have to find some other turnarounds.
