These options vary a lot from hackathon to hackathon, and it would be nice for there to be a toggle switch in the admin panel to enable/disable them:

• Disallow (current) / allow minors to register
• Force registration with a *.edu email and whitelist special cases (current) / allow all emails to register

Is it possible to use the custom questions instead of the default (e.g. I want to omit the graduation year)?
I couldn't find it in the Admin panel or the existing documentation, any pointers will be very helpful.

Right now, invalid form submissions show up red, but don't have error messages. It would be nice to have tooltips (so that users don't have to scroll to the top of the app) pop up next to fields that need to be fixed after submission.

A couple of particpants when trying to use team name : TEAM #007 the team name was not shown in others.

Upon using admin, i was able to find only one persons name with team #7.

Per #67 it would be helpful to add software requirements and/or a guide for installing them in the README. I can take care of this soon, but would welcome any contributions!

Is there anything special to be done for this or should it just be a link to a dropbox users can upload to? It's not very clear due to lack of documentation and the default link just redirects to an inactive dropbox.

• currently, when you join a team that contains other people, you do no see any of their names
• this confuses users and makes them think they messed up
• upon page refresh, everything is made clear
• the data should be loaded dynamically upon joining a team so that no refresh is needed
• note: we've fixed this problem already on some branch of the hackmit version of quill, and it was a simple fix

bcrypt-nodejs hasn't been updated in 6 years

Hey, so I'm already Dockerizing quill (pretty much done with that) and I'll submit a PR once I'm happy. I was wondering would be interested in a firebase port, using Real-time Database or Cloud Firestore instead of MongoDB. I probably wouldn't port it over to use the firebase SDK on the frontend, just to use cloud functions instead, but that's probably dependent on how much time I have to kill.

Thoughts?

this probably is a stupid mistake we made, but could someone shed some light on this error?

i tried rebuilding gulp-sass which did help and updated gulp, but this still shows up. Has anyone else faced this?

Note: we were able to work this a month or two ago, but the dev team went away for the summer and now these issues are popping up out of nowhere.

@kirandasika98

Admins should be able to sort by the dates/times hackers submitted by, to accommodate a first-come first-served admittance policy.

I followed the setup infos (which in my opinion are very reduced) to get quill locally running. After running git clone https://github.com/techx/quill and npm install on a Centos 6.9 I got the message:

Any hints how to resolve this? Whats the preferred system it runs on locally?

The JS bundle size is 8 Mb . Am I doing something wrong or is it really 8 MB?

I was filling out registration for MakeMIT and testing Blueprint registration. MakeMIT had a word limit and Blueprint had a character limit for the free response questions. Whereas Blueprint truncated the response once I got to their character limit (1000 chars), MakeMIT's registration gave me no feedback in terms of begin over the limit (and would allow me to submit with responses of arbitrary length).

It would be nice to have some feedback as your typing your response as to how close I am to my limit (I'm guessing something like "n words/characters remaining"). It might also be nice to add some verification to actually enforce these limits.

• the admin page allows you to click on users to see their information
• one of the fields provided by default is a phone number field
• in the user model this is "confirmation.phoneNumber", but in the admin modal logic it is referred to as "confirmation.phone"

PR incoming

We often need to email all checked-in hackers, or all hackers who were accepted but have not submitted their confirmation yet, etc. Currently we query the database manually for these emails.

It would be great in conjunction with #7 to get and export these users' emails.

Hello,
we are intressted to deploy this platform for our hackathon but our server is limited to cpanel only, we dont have ssh access for the moment, we can only deploy PHP apps only, are there any plans to port it to any PHP framework ?
thanks

There's no way to save the application without submitting it

Which is better for running gulp server in background on prod server?

gulp server > server-logs & works until i logged out

I've got a PR for this, but it's a work in progress.

I believe both views should be merged because there was high percentage of bounce rate using this system. This would reduce the number of steps for users to attend the event.

I need some help.... It is slightly dire.

It seems to work, when I run it locally, but using the deploy now button and trying to push my version to heroku the deployment does not work. Is there some other sort of adjustments I need to make for it to work for heroku? This is my first time working with angular.

It would be unbelievably helpful to be able to batch admit users from the search queries in the user panel. This would require that the search interface be improved so that selections can be made based on Major, Degree, School, or any other parameters in the application then being able to select all students that match the search criteria or simply select them from the list.

We didn't have time to build this for McHacks, but I did add in a CSV export in the Users list view so we did all of this offline.

Changing registration / confirmation deadlines when users are in the middle of the pipeline doesn't seem to have a defined behavior. We commonly need to extend deadlines for individual cases, but their dashboards don't update, acceptances get canceled, etc.

Either for just people who haven't applied yet, or for everyone (the registration deadline is also the deadline to edit applications).

I'm filing this issue in response to a HackMIT applicant who was looking for the reg deadline - they must have been linked directly to my.hackmit.org.

The link expires after an hour, but one-time use would be more secure.

So I have the server running, technically, but whenever I run it all the js plugins are being replaced with index.html, making the js console look like

So I know this is because the src attribute is being pointed to the wrong location but I didn't move anything since cloning the repo and I can't really figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated.

What do you think about adding a button to send emails to all accepted participants ?
This needs the following changes

• Add a softadmit option in the user status
• softadmit instead of admit when admin accepts user
• add a button to send all softadmited participants an email of acceptance and make their status admitted

From a fresh install...

I have done exactly as the setup instructions say and have configured mail gun as the smtp service, which appears to be functional.

• often times, accepting users is a team decision
• this may involve a separate review process that involves recording acceptance decisions in a separate medium (such as Google sheets or a custom webapp for application reading)
• the result of such review processes is a list of emails to accept
• currently, to automatically accept those users, the best thing you could do was write a short script that uses the reg API to admit each of them one at a time
• this is inconvenient and not user friendly
• to simplify this common use case, the admin page should support admitting whole lists of email addresses at a time

In the stats service, searching for @mit.edu is hardcoded. Should be configurable to a email domain for the host school.

There is an Angular variable {{ EVENT_INFO.NAME }} which contains the user-specified name of the hackathon. There are a few instances where this is not respected, and is instead written out as HackMIT. To make it easier for others to fork the project, these references should be changed.

I can submit a PR to do this. Just wanted to make an issue for it too.

"Make admin" button in the Admin view + an endpoint

In case Quill testers fail to change the defaults.

Having the ability to view/download the applicant's resume will speed up the process of going through every applicant's profile.

This feature was implemented in our registration system, but it was not secured. Our system was forked from the repo of HackGT. The repo of HackGT was a fork from the old repo of Quill.

Here's is a picture on how it looks like:

Also, the resume field was moved from the confirmation view to the application view. The resume was uploaded directly to the server and not in dropbox.

As a continuation of this revision (should be an easy fix given all the locations listed here): #31, ideally we should be able to set the email sender and name from a .env variable and have it update on all the templates.

Hello ,
I have an issue when trying to deploy it locally, when i run npm install, i got the semantic-ui setup which is taking very long time and stuck at : Starting 'create install files'... or config src/theme
what am i doing wrong?
Thank you

As an added feature, add easy to setup SSL that's compatible with LetsEncrypt.

Would require two variables in the .env, and a modification to app.js where if the certificate was specified, read the file and start a server. If no certificate is specified the app will listen as normal.

Forcing standard school names would make it easier for organizers to search for schools. Semantic-UI has the perfect autocomplete dropdown module for this, so this should be a relatively simple change.

The team size check in UserController#createOrJoinTeam has a race condition that allows a team to be bigger than MAX_TEAM_SIZE. The amount of time that the transactions take allow this to be relatively easy to exploit. (script pictured got it on the first iteration)

Because of the non-transactional nature of Mongo I'm not sure if there is a really straightforward way to handle this. I could be wrong though I don't know that much about it. A possible but inelegant solution would be making a team_count table or something that we could perform an atomic operation (increment given it's less than team_size) and see if the update was successful.

I want to host Quill on the same domain as our event website, ie.
event website: make.osu.edu
event registration: make.osu.edu/register/

So I changed ROOT_URL in the '.env' file but, as my title of this issue reflects, it no workie workie.

Any ideas?

There's a lot of untapped data in hackathons that can be utilized if, in addition to (or instead of) using paper IDs distributed at the beginning of the event, users had QR codes that could be scanned. This could help determine which events are popular among hackers, which sponsors are the most popular (and should return the next year), who has had their meals and who hasn't, and, depending on how in-depth you want to be, you can get data on all kinds of activities, determining which snacks are the most popular, etc.

Event Popularity Tracking

At a mini event (say, a typing competition) supervising organizers/staff members open a link on Quill that requests access to their camera. Once granted, they are able to scan hackers who want to participate. This tracks the popularity of the typing competition, and indicates whether it should make an appearance next year.

Sponsor Popularity Tracking

Similarly to the example above, a sponsor representative could open a link that requests access to their camera, and once granted, they're able to scan QR codes of hacker who are interested in networking or just making conversation. This is a mutually-beneficial situation as well, as sponsors could maybe view the hacker's resume after scanning the code, and the event organizers can track which sponsors are popular and should make a reappearance.

Meal Tracking

Meal tracking is an interesting application of this system. Rather than checking boxes on a paper ID (which costs money to produce), users could have their codes scanned when getting a meal, which "checks" their meal off. Another application of the code scanning would be optimizing dietary restriction ordering. If 20 people indicate that they want a vegetarian option, and 30 people over the course of the event scan in at the vegetarian line, maybe next year, more vegetarian meals could be ordered.

Some people might have qualms with their data being tracked, so it could be an opt-in system.
