techtonic - the hackathon

TechTonic is a purely fictional hackathon, where teams of tech enthusiasts face off in high-energy coding challenges under tight deadlines. it's a blend of innovation, rivalry, and unexpected connections. any resemblance to real-life events or hackathons is purely coincidental.

🍬 curious 🍬

before getting in, just to quench my curiosity, i'd like to ask you a few questions <3

💌 // how did you find this book in this cute little orange app?

💌 // are you, by any chance, a cs or cs related stream major?

💌 // have you ever attended a hackathon (or something similar in your stream) and found yourself developing a little crush on someone from the opponent team?

🍬 other important notes 🍬

no parts of this book shall be reproduced. i've always wanted to write a romance set in the field of coding, and with my insta feed bombarded by 'lighter and princess' edits lately, the idea exploded into this story. and here we are, mixing love with lines of code!

add it to your reading list if you're ready to join ayaan and shreya on their rollercoaster of code, competition, and maybe a little bit of love <3

update begins from 18 january 2025
