Show HN: HackBud – I no longer struggle to find teammates for Hackathons

[Utkarshn10]

Hey there,

Last year, I participated in a hackathon and wanted to connect with people to build a team. I went to Discord and other channels to find people who would be interested in participating, but it took a lot of time to find people and reach out to them and decided to participate alone.

Then came the idea of solving my problem by building a platform where I could find people with the same mentality who want to build cool stuff in hackathons, without much effort. Hence, HackBud was born.

I am launching it on Product Hunt today: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/hackbud

It says "70+ Hackathon Enthusiasts already joined!" but that's a lie.

There's only 23 users, and 1 test user (if you exclude mine), 4 duplicate users so actually 18 users.

Anyone can query the Appwrite database and see.

It's a lie, as there are 120+ users now (people who have logged in)

It's 24.
