🎉📦🎨💤🚀🍂🌆🎅🌄⚽❄️⚽🚗❄️🤖🎂🦃🎮✏️🎃🤖🖋️@sampoder0🇨🇦 Hack The North 2023! @ImDeet-U045B4BQ2T0, @fayd and I teamed up to make :goose-dance: Hack The Geese :goose-honk-left:! It was a game that attendees could play using the QR codes on their badges. Here’s how’d it work:
1. You’d scan your badge’s QR code to log in.
2. Your find someone who you’d like to compete against and scan their badge’s QR code.
3. You’d both receive a prompt, eg. “take a selfie with a someone with blue hair”.
4. You’d race to take a fun picture based on the prompt before the other player does.
5. You either win or lose, then you got to choose wether or not to rematch!
You can go to htgeese.tech/album to see all the photos that folks took during demos with the game (and many more of me stressing over the backend)!
We used a slightly cursed combination of a Next.js frontend and a backend written in Go which interacted with one another through Websockets…. yeah, very cursed and very jank. We also used Vercel’s new Postgres & Blob storage services which were surprisingly good. And, of course, we used Prisma…. including it’s slightly hacky spin-off Go client.
Another awesome part of the game was @ImDeet-U045B4BQ2T0’s custom designed geese (GEESE!):
:htn-goose-1: :htn-goose-2::htn-goose-3::htn-goose-4::htn-goose-5::htn-goose-6::htn-goose-7::htn-goose-8::htn-goose-9::htn-goose-10:
Every player got one of these made for them when they first signed! The game was a bunch of fun to play IRL and we had people playing it throughout the demo session. Attached is a sick selfie of @fayd in his sunnies and the judge!
And at the end of the day, somehow, we were selected as winners so we got to demo on stage and won a couple of prizes which was pretty cool! Here’s us playing a game with all the attendees and a couple of other photos from the weekend (including us working on the project while on #hack-night!).
The GitHub is full of more photos and stories from the weekend: github.com/sampoder/hack-the-geese. O CANADA!
🎨@toonnongaeoy0Finally, Thai version of the Hack Club global site is up.
Thanks, @sampoder for making this project and help me along the way.
This also my first translate that I do in public, so if it have any mistake you can tell me and I will fix it right away, or maybe just make a pull request to the repo.

Ahoy there, matey! Avast ye eyes and lend me thy ears, for I've got a tale to tell ye about a drone unlike any other. This be no ordinary flying contraption, for it be equipped with the finest artificial intelligence and advanced sensors known to man.
Arrr, let me regale ye with the details of this marvelous invention. Our drone, which we'll call the "AI Sentry," is a technological marvel that could make even Blackbeard himself envious. With its advanced sensors, it can detect and track targets from great distances, making it an invaluable tool for surveillance and reconnaissance.
But what truly sets the AI Sentry apart from other drones is its AI capabilities. It has been programmed to learn and adapt to its environment, allowing it to make split-second decisions and adjust its flight path accordingly. Whether it be navigating through treacherous terrain or avoiding obstacles, the AI Sentry is up to the task.
But that be not all, me hearties. The AI Sentry is also capable of autonomous flight, meaning it can operate without the need for human intervention. This makes it an ideal candidate for a wide range of missions, including search and rescue operations, disaster response, and even delivery services.
But let's not forget about the AI Sentry's most impressive feature - its ability to swarm. That's right, this drone can operate in coordinated groups, communicating with each other and sharing information in real-time. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for applications such as security, crowd control, and even entertainment.
So, there ye have it, me buckos. The AI Sentry is a drone like no other, boasting advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, autonomous flight, and swarm capabilities. With its endless possibilities, it's no wonder why it's the talk of the seven seas.
thankyou @HackClubBank-U04SEGJ8WN5 for supporting the project , and special thanks to @MelanieSmith who over time in weekends, I am still making that device to stop you overwork , and @sampoder I assure you this will not crash AGAIN , ps-EPOCH@ShubhamPatil0Working on documentation for tripley.app! Using the country structure that @sampoder introduced during CodeDay Labs
❄️💖@provsalt0Went to the Github fireside chat event in Singapore with @sampoder today and met the CEO and vice president of github! It was an amazing time and we got some free swag too.
@cytronicoder0Day 5/6 of #10-days-in-public :lioncityhacks:
It was Lion City Hacks yesterday: massive shoutout to @sampoder and his team for organising this whole event! We had a lot of fun (and stickers), and the team learned a lot of key designing tools and programming skills along the way. Additionally, our meme/coin project is still underway at #samcoin, so if you want to contribute to it, join the channel now! :coin-mario:
Today, I participated in a math competition and chilled the whole day - got a bit sick so going to sign off early. :sleep:
💤@provsalt0Today, my team and I attended the Lion City Hacks hackathon hosted by Innovation Circut and I've learnt a lot about working in a stressful environment where time management is hugely important. Thank you @sampoder and the organizers for organizing my first in person hackathon!
@cytronicoder0Day 4 of #10-days-in-public! T-1 day until #lioncityhacks, and I spent some time tonight working with @sampoder and the Innovation Circuit team on setting on the event space :lioncityhacks:
We got the banner onto the booth, set up the registration table w/ loads of sticker, and set up the polaroid camera. I am really excited for tomorrow 🚀
🌈🚢@sampoder0Today, I tried out :redwoodjs:RedwoodJS for the first (I’m planning to start using it in a new project!).
As I was playing around, I made this small website that housed a collection of dinosaur images! It was interesting messing around with Redwood’s generators & how Redwood uses Prisma.
🌲 Into the redwoods I go...
🦕@karolina0translated hack club's global site into polish! not sure if i did everything right... lmk @sampoder :))
@reesericci0I just had the funniest, most panicked phone call ever with 1-855-62-HACK - i got to talk to @sampoder@deven and @msw. while they were boarding (not @deven) tho. i got put on hold for like 10mins by @deven it was incredible.
☎️@Jaden0sent a pr to www-assemble and sam accepted it in less than 30 seconds
@abby0Coded a preview / added a meta tag (thanks @Ishan + @sampoder for ur advise) for my website. Craig Newmark ( craig’s list founder) tweeted about it!
@philipstudentemail0@sampoder lead an amazing Kaboom workshop at PyraHacks today! And PyraHacks ended with over 250 projects shipped raising $2000 dollars for St. Jude! @blakedfreeman and I are so thankful to all the hackers, speakers, pledgers, and sponsors! Also a shoutout to @micahlt and @RobbieKhazan for helping us organize PyraHacks!!!
@sampoder0:codeday: 🇸🇬 We ran the first CodeDay in Singapore yesterday! We had a massive turnout and converted a retro cinema (that was formerly a disco dance floor) into a massive hackerspace. (ft @arsh7chetana, @Arash, @NeilGhosh & @neervikasv)
🚢🏏@jzaleta02021 is over, Hi 2022! I'm happy to start a new year where I hope to make amazing things. Today I started my new hacker journey with 3 small commits and did my first review on a Hack Club Repo, thanks for this @sampoder! Here's an image of my brand new year GitHub HeatMap and the one of my scrapbook, which it's a bit bugged because I post daily, but still, it's awesome to be able to work on amazing things and I hope to have great memories and moments on this year.
@sampoder0Built the world’s most over-engineered next song button for github.com/sampoder/discovery. weird thing: the whole thing is being held together by the elastic strings of the mask I wore on friday lol@zfogg0Here's the secret project I mentioned, @hugo.y.hu935! i'm putting together something called....
✨ SAMBOX ✨
The Sambox is little box that has a computer you can SSH into and instantly hack on a project and deploy it, with custom DNS and zero setup :cooll-thumbs:. It has its own wifi router and everything. Just power it up and start hacking; you're good-to-go!
This Sambox will go on a journey. It's going to start by being mailed to a Hack Clubber, who will hack on it for a few days (until the timer runs out‽). We'll include four shipping labels with Sambox so that the first hacker can mail it to the second. The second hacker may change or customize anything on Sambox or contribute something new, and then pass it on to the third after the time runs out.
All hacking will be done OFFLINE on the Sambox :yuh:
The final person to get Sambox will be @sampoder of course, who will plug it into the internet, putting all of the projects online! :yay:
Here's the shopping list. Parts arrive tomorrow today!
@ella0yay, my PR for hackclub/v3 got merged today. i rewrote the bank page in Next.js + theme-ui (formerly running on Gatsby and styled jsx). it took me a while, but i learned a lot. s/o to sam for helping me and reviewing my code!
@sampoder0Tonight, @arsh7chetana, @NeilGhosh & I managed to win the Junior AWS Build On ASEAN 2021 hackathon in Singapore :D We did the Cognizant track which was about creating positive communities and all. Anyways, our project was a website that let people look around for places where they can volunteer and then message the organisers, we had to focus on security and all so we built an ID verification system with SingPass (SG government’s OAuth system to have people log in with their national ID cards) and a few other things (some admittedly, a bit gimmicky). Anyhow, here’s a screenshot. We’ve got a limited public version that we put up at comiteer.co & I’ve put the code up at github.com/sampoder/comiteer. First time winning a hackathon so I’m pretty ecstatic lol, also had a ton of fun doing it yee
🚢@sampoder0Built a voting system for Student Council elections using :supabase: Supabase & :nextjs: Next.js :D
:github: : github.com/sampoder/gwa-votes💖🚢@matthewvandyke080Today I have officially reached 365 days of posting to my scrapbook. I started during Summer of Making last year just as something to do, but after the summer I kept up with it to keep myself accountable. If you go back you can see all my projects and updates from them that I have done since last year such as: Students Who Code, my portfolio, myDash, BrainDUMP, esports website, running Secret Santa, and so much more! Thank you to everyone who has followed along and thanks to @sampoder and @matthew for creating scrapbook! So now that 365 is done.....whats next?
@arek1231130Orpheus Leap arrived in my mail box today!
📦@caleb0Big news: scrapbooks now have RSS feeds! 🎉 Visit yours by appending .rss to the end of your scrapbook's URL, e.g. scrapbook.hackclub.com/caleb.rss (doesn't support custom domains)
You should also be able to run /feed subscribe <https://scrapbook.hackclub.com/username.rss> to subscribe a Slack channel to your scrapbook, but I admittedly haven't tried it.
Thanks @sampoder for helping out! :sam-1:
