I remember my former coworkers did a similar project called something like "login forms from hell" at one of our annual hackathons (which were rather field trips with campfire and very relaxed coding sessions). My group won one of the hackathons with an Arduino light strip + humidity sensor attached to a log and some more flotsam and jetsam from the nearby forest.
Cookie banners are a great topic to mock, I wish there were none! Cookie banners are reducing the privacy goal behind GDPR to absurdity.
I'd gladly join the satiric cookie banner hackathon if I had more time to spare.
Good luck and have fun!
Love the idea of the Hackathon, but hate the idea that someone else would pick the mechanical keyboard!
if you win, I'm sure you could negotiate the type of keyboard you want :D
Sadly, DasKeyboard no longer produce the one I like..
They went all flashy after version 3..
