Show HN: A Platform to Explore Hackathons Around the World

Surprisingly, the APIs these websites used were open, which they used to populate their page with hackathons data.
So by spending maybe around 3 hours? This is the end result. It is built using Nextjs 15.
I tried to make it as best as I can, but hey, would love to hear any comments on improvements. There maybe some mistakes but yeah, I am here to learn.
Also, not the greatest of the UIs, but I wanted to get out the MVP, while most of my time was spent in normalizing the JSON from different hackathon website APIs.
I am looking to add more sources, eg. devpost, hackerearth, hack2skill, etc. I might need to scrape their data as their HTML is prepopulated when it is fetched, or have to find some other turnarounds.
