Inspiration
A lot of hackers had incredible drive to create something that created real value in the world or lead to a business and so I really wanted to push myself to build something that was fully functional and polished to real users by the end of the event.
How I built it
The project was built using a lightweight combination of TypeScript, React and Vite for rapid prototyping and development. Image uploading was handled with uploadthing, and authentication was handled with Clerk. It was deployed on Netlify, using its support for serverless functions, which were used to make calls to Google's Gemini API. Code quality assurance with ESLint/Prettier and CI/CD with GitHub Actions.
Challenges I ran into
The idea and work on the project came pretty late into the hackathon so there was a lot of discussion with mentors to seek guidance on the direction I should take with my project. Thank you to everyone who helped me through out the hackathon!
What I learned
I really learned about what people are capable of given such a short amount of time, and some of what it takes to deploy something outside of localhost. It really gives me the motivation to focus on improving my ability to build.
