Frequently Asked Questions
We had an extensive application process that was detailed by Quincy on at https://hackathon.freecodecamp.org/ . If you successfully completed this process, and you were one of the first 300 to do so (for the in-person event), then you were sent a ticket to the email address provided in your application. If you do not have a ticket then you cannot attend the in-person hackathon. But you are welcome to join the online hackathon.
The JAMstack is a powerful new approach for deploying fast, highly scalable sites and applications that don't require backend infrastructure. Thanks to recent advancements in the web platform, developers can now run any web property, from simple sites to complex applications, on global CDNs and without a single web server.

Unfortunately no. This makes things needlessly complicated. Further, there are separate prizes and judging protocol for the online and in-person hackathon. If we discover that your in-person team has online collaborators, you will be disqualified.
Of course. We're all in the same Discord chat group. And since this hackathon is largely about education, the in-person/online groups should both help each other out by answering questions.
