Eleven days to regionals. Where is your team actually working?

Channels, voice notes, a C++ and Python compiler, video rooms, a task board and an XP economy in one workspace. Built for students who form five squads a year and lose three of them to a dead group chat.

The problem

A squad is three people and four tools that do not know about each other.

Nothing here is a tooling gap in the abstract. This is where the work actually goes missing.

01

The group chat

Where the good idea was posted at 01:40 and scrolled past by morning. No structure, no history you can search, no way to say who owns it.

02

The shared doc

The proposal, the template library, the one snippet that actually worked. Version three lives in someone's Downloads folder and nobody can find it at 2am.

03

The board nobody opens

Set up with great intentions in week one. Abandoned by week three because finishing a card gave you nothing back.

Campus telemetry

Everyone on campus sits somewhere on the same ladder.

Connect a judge and Squadron reads your rating, then plots the whole cohort on one scale. A squad can see the range it has — and the range it is missing — before it commits to three people for a season.

The workspace

Channels, compiler and board — scoped to the squad, not to you.

Switch squads from the panel at the top and everything changes with it: the channels, the board, the calendar, the standings. One workspace per team, not one workspace per person.

Channels

Discussion that survives the night

Make as many channels as the squad needs and give each one its own symbol. Your messages sit right, everyone else's left, and unread counts tell you where the conversation moved.

  • Any emoji or sign as the channel icon — not just #
  • Hold the microphone to send a voice note instead of typing
  • Code arrives as a real block with a copy button, not a wall of text

Task board

Every card is worth something

Drag a card into Solved and the XP pays out immediately — to you and to the standings. Move it back and the XP is withdrawn. Every task is worth the same, so nobody can price their own work.

  • Drag with a mouse, or pick up and move with the keyboard
  • A flat 5 XP per task, set by the server — not by the filer
  • Assign it, tag it, and see it land on the calendar

Open slots, not open calls

Squads publish the slots they still need and the skill they are missing. Request one and the captain sees your rating, your XP and your last five contests — not a paragraph about yourself.

  • Filter by ICPC, GSoC, hackathon or study group
  • Slot counters that are honest about how full a team is

The economy

XP for the work that actually moves a squad forward.

Not logins. Not streak-bait. XP is paid when a task reaches Solved — a flat rate the server sets, so nobody can inflate their own card. Drag it back out and the XP goes with it.

Squad types

Four shapes of team, one workspace each.

ICPC teams

A small roster, a shared template file you can actually run, and a mock-contest calendar.

Board · compiler · mocks

GSoC circles

Proposal drafts reviewed line by line, org shortlists, and the coding-period timeline once you are in.

Drafts · reviews · timeline

Hackathon squads

Thirty-six hours, a locked problem statement, and a board that tells everyone what is unclaimed right now.

Roles · board · demo

Study groups

A rated ladder, one problem a day, editorial at a fixed hour, and a rule about missing three days.

Ladder · streaks · standings
Everything in the box

What you get the moment you sign in.

No trial tier, no waiting list, no add-ons. Every item below is built and working — make a squad and it is all there.

Channels, your way

Add as many as you need and give each one an emoji or symbol instead of a hash.

unread counts

Voice notes

Hold the microphone when explaining a bug out loud beats typing it. The waveform follows your actual voice.

up to 90s

C++ and Python, built in

Write, run and read the output without leaving the squad. Personal files stay yours; Team files sync live as anyone types.

sandboxed · no network

Video rooms

Camera, microphone and screen share, with a roster that shows who is in and what they have switched on.

lands in the calendar

Task board

Drag into Solved and the XP pays out. Every task is worth the same flat 5, decided by the server.

5 XP a task

Calendar

Due dates, rounds and every meeting the squad schedules, on one month view.

per squad

Standings & XP

A running ledger of what you earned and when. Undo the work and the entry reverses.

auditable

Reactions & code blocks

Seven reactions that mean something, and pasted code that keeps its shape with a copy button.

Invite by link

Copy a link and send it however you already talk. Squadron never emails anyone.

no inbox required

Jump to anything

One shortcut searches channels, tasks, squads and actions together.

A guided walk-through

Offered once when you arrive, and reachable from search for good after that.

Four kinds of squad

ICPC, GSoC, hackathon or study group — each opens with channels and a sprint that suit it.

any roster size

Your team already exists. Give it somewhere to work.

Make a squad, invite your team with a link, and everything below is yours — channels, the compiler, the board and a video room.

Welcome,

Squadron

Where CS squads actually work.

Channels, a task board with real XP, a shared calendar and meetings — one workspace per squad, for ICPC teams, GSoC circles, hackathon crews and study groups.

This is the name your squad sees on the roster.
