Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Maninderpal, the maker of Hunter. Super excited to share it with you today.
Hunter is a free, open source platform for hosting coding and academic contests. I started building it because running even a small competition meant gluing together a form tool, a spreadsheet, a judge, and a leaderboard, and none of them talked to each other.
With Hunter, everything lives under one roof:
Build custom challenges with your own scoring rules
Track participant performance live
Submissions judged instantly on a secure, isolated execution engine built for heavy concurrency
A native MCP server, so your AI agents can plug in and help automate and run your events
If you run hackathons, interviews, or university contests, I'd love for you to try it out. Tell me what you think, feedback is very welcome!
