The 2019 Sitecore Hackathon is a free, online, community driven event organized by Akshay Sura and supported by Sitecore. (Shout out to Pieter and Mark.) Teams that have signed up by 6 pm EST on February 15, 2019 have the opportunity to take part. Eligible teams will have 24 hours to build and submit a Sitecore module that best implements the idea for the Hackathon, as determined by our panel of judges. The window runs from Friday March 1st 2019 at 8 PM EST to Saturday March 2nd 2019 at 8 PM EST. The ideas will be announced an hour before the Hackathon starts on March 1st. We chose the date so that the announcements could be made at SUGCON EU 2019 on April 4th 2019 in London.

Inspired by the SBOS team’s previous work, this Trackable Links module enables content authors and marketers in Sitecore 9.1 JSS to associate Sitecore Goals and Events to general link fields. Both Content Editor and Experience editor link dialogs are supported. AReactJS component is offered as an extension of the default Sitecore component.
The purpose of the module is reducing the number of clicks for content editors. This module helps the content editors to reach the given Item within sitecore. On the other hand, it gives an overview about the content editor’s activity. It was built with Sitecore SPEAK3.
The intention behind the module is to help content editors create better content and have a better understanding on how it is perceived by the reader. This is done by enabling content editors to analyze texts and tag images using IBM’s Watson API. Text analysis allows for better targeting of a given piece of content. While image tagging helps maintain an easier navigatable media library.
