AtKiwi.com, there’s a Slack channel for almost everything. One of those channels is dedicated to crazy ad hoc ideas where anyone within the company can share a project they’d like to see implemented. Some six months ago, ideas were floated such as “let’s create an IoT device which will show us if people are at their desks or not”, or “let’s configure a button to order more coffee”. Some of those ideas were just for fun, but some of them were smart and really cool.The community team makes sure that the devs in the company love their jobs. As a result, we decided to organise an internal hackathon to bring some of those suggested IoT ideas to life.
