The hackathon's scoring criteria emphasized "day-one impact," usability, and demo clarity.
The organizers used Claude to analyze the submitted codebases, but had less than two hours to judge about 35 teams.
The obvious differentiating feature of the two winning teams was adding Spanish-language support to their websites.
