Judging Criteria
-
Usefulness
Does the hack target a specific audience? How often will people use it? Does it solve a common problem? -
Originality
Does the hack stand out or is it a generic application? Does the hack improve something that already exists or is it entirely new? What makes the hack better than another? -
Technical Complexity
Does the hack utilize emerging technologies? Is it more than a conglomeration of APIs? Did you build your project from scratch? Is it hardcoded? -
Polish
Does the hack function properly? Is it complete, or you have plans to improve it in the future? If so, what would you change/add? Is the app well designed and appealing?
