Whoops! Looks like they don't have a project yet. Maybe ask them to start one?

Timeline
Worked on VRT regressions. Upgrading MDX.
I love Theme UI upgrades breaking random pages on the site 😍😍
Anyway, I'm starting to work on fixing the last few pages. So far, I've fixed the lead hackers page
Side note but the JavaScript/React ecosystems have such bad churn it's actually insane. Oh you're using Nextauth, why aren't you using better-auth in big 2025? Oh, you're using Next.js, why aren't you using TanStack Start? Oh, our React framework is no longer going to use React??? what on earth are you doing??
I have been slightly disillusioned whilst working on this project.
- Continued testing of visual regressions.
- Updated Loops.so stuff to add additional data to new Happenings signups
- Added visual hint to check email after signup
Fixed the /philosophy page!
It was previously broken by the theme-ui update.
Also worked on a visual regressions detector script, that caught this issue and a few others.
hq huddle!
(Side note, but thanks a ton to everyone who cheered me on, gave feedback, and helped Zach set up my submission, you guys rock and it truly means a lot :))
Worked on alternate design!
Also just hopped off the huddle in #hq. Zach said that the tech changes were great, but that the design wasn’t different enough and the colours needed an uplift (also, no dark mode!)
- Fixed navbar contrast issues
- Happenings are now clickable
- Adjusted the copy near the end
- Made an alternative, light mode version: https://hcsite-nz7a5bco8-skyfall-dev.vercel.app/

- Optimised images to WEBP to boost the Lighthouse score and performance as a whole
- Moved the site away from Glitch URLs (glitch is soon shutting down and without doing this, a bunch of images on the site would've broken in a month or so)
- Optimised newsletter signup

Updated the site to Next.js 15!
Why did you do this?, you might ask? Good question! Main reason is to speed up the Hack Club site, both in development and in production to improve SEO and make development easier.
