hackathon-starter

Hackathon-starter is an opinionated boilerplate for Node.js web applications, designed to provide a comprehensive starting point for developers. It integrates popular technologies like Express.js for the web framework and MongoDB for the database, offering a ready-to-use setup that includes user authentication (local and OAuth with various providers), account management features, and a contact form. This allows developers to bypass the initial setup complexities and dive straight into building their unique application logic.

The core value proposition of hackathon-starter lies in its ability to accelerate development, particularly in time-sensitive environments like hackathons or when building minimum viable products (MVPs). By providing pre-built modules for common functionalities and integrations with external APIs, it significantly reduces the time spent on boilerplate code. This enables developers to focus their efforts on innovating and implementing core features, making it an invaluable tool for efficient and rapid web application development.
