Judging Criteria
-
Originality
Is the hack more than just another generic social app? Does it do something entirely novel, or at least take a fresh approach to an old problem? -
Usefulness
Is the hack practical given its target audience? Is it something that the user base would actually use? Does it fulfill a need people have? -
Technical Difficulty
Is the hack technically interesting or difficult? Is it just some lipstick on an API, or were there real technical challenges to surmount? -
Design
Is the hack usable in its current state? Is the user experience smooth? Does everything appear to work? Is it well-designed? -
Team Work
Is all the team took a part of the process? is every one knows what's going on and doing their part?
