Segfault Hackathon
Hackathon site for the compiler-curious.
Status: Shipped·Stack: Next.js · TypeScript · Tailwind CSS · Framer Motion
Overview
A compiler-themed hackathon needed a site that conveyed the vibe without overplaying it.
Challenge
Walk the line between ‘we know what a parser is’ and ‘please don’t make this a terminal cosplay.’ Site has to read fast for first-timers.
Approach
Type-led layout, monospaced metadata, motion limited to staged reveals on scroll. A small typed-text moment on the hero is the only literal compiler reference.
Outcome
Cleared registration goals. The motion language carried into PointBlank’s subsequent CTF event.
