A hackpact is where two or more people have a pact to create and document (i.e., upload for others to see) something new every day for a month. It is inspired by the live coding practice of people like nick, fredrik and scott, but you're extremely welcome to join in and do something else like photography, sculpture or a mixture of things. No universal rules but you might want to enforce your own.

Use the tag 'hackpact' when documenting your hacks, and add a link to the tag on the service you're using if it's missing:
