HackHive 🚀

Project Description

HackHive is a collaborative platform primarily designed for individuals who participate in hackathons and work on projects together in shared spaces. It combines GitHub OAuth for authentication, real-time communication, code execution, and a user-friendly interface to create a hacker-friendly environment. HackHive enables users to form teams, collaborate in virtual rooms, rate each other based on GitHub metrics, and even run code snippets directly within the platform. 🤖
