Submit on our Week-Long Devpost!
Think about the items you share on a daily basis, because we want you to automate one! You could create a twitter bot that says good morning or a script that shares a daily pet photo with your friends. Pick any task, automate it, and submit your hack on our Week-Long Devpost!
Use #LocalHackDay and tag @mlhacks on your Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn posts this week to earn points! This challenge is repeatable once daily. If your post includes a photo, you could get reshared on the MLH platforms. Submit a screenshot on our Week-Long Form!
