Free kit

Hackathon kit

48 hours, people you met an hour ago, and a domain on someone's card. Settle the boring stuff in 10 minutes before the clock starts.

Ticks are saved in this browser only.

Before you start (10 minutes)

Pick a project email (like team@yourproject.com or a shared Gmail) for every signup.
Agree who buys the domain and how the cost is split.
Create a GitHub organization, not a personal repo, and add everyone.
Agree what happens after the event: archive, open source, or one person keeps it.
Start a shared cost list (the free ledger sheet works).

During the event

Log every paid thing the moment you buy it: API credits, domain, hosting.
Give at least two people admin on hosting and the domain.
Keep API keys in the host's environment settings, never in the repo.

When the clock stops

Vote on the ending you agreed: archive, or transfer to whoever keeps building.
Settle up costs within a week.
Transfer or cancel subscriptions so nobody keeps paying for a dead project.
Run the handover checklist if the project changes hands.

WhoOwnsWhat.xyz's hackathon mode will do this for you: a project with an end date, a vote, and a clean handover. Join the waitlist.
