hey guys,

it’s rishul here, founder of maximally.

i’m running a new hackathon called CODEPOCALYPSE this weekend. it’s kind of an experiment i’m trying out. there are no rules, no themes, no prep. you can literally build anything you want.

you’ll get 48 hours to make something weird, funny, chaotic,…
