How To Win at NodeKnockout
summary
NodeKnockout is a 48-hour coding contest using Node; plan features in concentric layers so cutting scope leaves a usable core. Expect roughly $440,000 in prizes last year, voting splits about 55/45 judges vs popular, and IE traffic under 2%. Use npm and core APIs, try Redis or React beforehand, avoid custom logins (use Twitter/Facebook), allocate one person for polishing, prefer a team of two designers + two developers, and add a fake mobile screenshot if it boosts perceived polish.
