The Platform Mock and more Behind-the-Scenes
Final days before the #pfaffhack20!
We want to give you some last info on a central piece of technology at our hackathon - the PFAFF HACK Platform Mock. It enables you and your team to communicate with other teams over a shared channel and makes your app interconnect with other projects in the environment.
To learn more about the underlying idea have a look at this video:
Insights on how you can access the platform from your code and other technical details can be found here:

PFAFF HACK Studio Behind-The-Scenes
While you are working remotely on your project, we don’t want you to feel all too lonely, that’s why we are going to livestream from our PFAFF HACK Studio throughout the event and hope to make you feel a little less stuck at home.

PFAFF HACK Introduction
Welcome to our #pfaffhack20. Watch at the following video to get an idea of what the PFAFF HACK is and what we plan to do this year.
#pfaffhack20 - PFAFF HACK GOES ONLINE
Take part at our Online PFAFF HACK from 06. - 08. November 2020.
Some things will change but the goal will stay the same - Coming together to create intriguing new pieces of software that deal with current topics in a fresh and smart manner.
Besides that we do want to change a few things. First and foremost going online! We think that due to the current situation that this is the best way to be able to continue our young tradition of hosting the PFAFF HACK, while also aligning with all safety guidelines.
But that won’t stop us from having a great time designing and developing cool stuff with all of you! We have come up with a concept that will allow us to guide you throughout the whole development process from remote. So no worries, we will try to make the Online PFAFF HACK as much of a live event as we can!
Secondly we are tweaking the challenge! The goal will be to build all projects based on a platform and make them connected to each other. Meaning ideas and apps are no longer isolated and on their own - just as they would be in the real world. We want you to interlink your project with other participants’ projects and create a mini digital ecosystem just from the PFAFF HACK hackathon.
That includes a much deeper focus on working together between teams which makes it all that much more exciting!
