| Hackster Live: New Features |
NEW AND IMPROVED EVENTS CREATOR
Had trouble publishing events on Hackster? This is now a thing of the past! The events creator has been updated, and it is now easy to create and post events on your Hackster Live page. For a step by step guide, see the "How to create an event on Hackster Live" knowledgebase article.
In addition, there is a new "workshop dropdown" when creating your events:
Use this to show which sponsored workshop you are running. It will automatically add the project link to your event page. It also sends an email reminder to your participants who RSVP on Hackster with appropriate downloads the day before the event.
