Overview
DKTE Society's Textile & Engineering Institute (DKTESTEI) in Ichalkaranji, Maharashtra, is organising the ThreadCounty Web Development Hackathon 2026. This is a solo competition where you build a full-stack SaaS platform for ThreadCounty, an AI-powered textile technology tool that uses AI and computer vision to help manufacturers, students, researchers, and quality control professionals analyse fabric structures.
The challenge is to design and develop a professional, production-ready web application. Your submission must include a landing page, authentication (sign-up, login, forgot password, email verification), a user dashboard, image upload with drag-and-drop and progress tracking, an AI analysis result page (placeholder results are acceptable), a history page, pricing page, about page, contact page, FAQ page, user profile, and an admin dashboard. The backend must use Supabase with proper APIs, error handling, input validation, authentication middleware, authorization, and logging.
The hackathon runs from 18 June to 30 June 2026. You must register by 26 June through the Unstop link. All code must be written during the competition period. Submissions need a public GitHub repository, a live hosted website, README documentation, database schema, and API documentation. Late entries are not accepted.
