HackMate - Find your next
Mahesh Bora
HackMate - Find your next hackathon teammate!
Built and published two versions of a real-time matchmaking app for hackathon enthusiasts — think Tinder, but for tech collabs.
Users can swipe through potential teammates, view skills, bios, and social links (GitHub & LinkedIn), and connect instantly.
Added a new feature to post and discover upcoming hackathons, turning HackMate into a one-stop hub for both finding teammates and events.
Integrated Firebase Auth, Firestore, and Cloud Functions for real-time chat, matchmaking logic, and notifications.
Focused on performance, iteration, and user feedback — scaled backend with Firestore rules and rate-limiting.
App has gained 400+ organic downloads across 35+ countries, all without paid promotions.
Everything from UI to backend logic was designed with scalability, usability, and good vibes in mind.
