Inspiration
While thinking of an idea for this hackathon, we wanted to learn some new technologies but didn't know where to start. Alas, we had the bright idea of creating something to solve our very own problem: something that tells you what you can build with different frameworks and languages!
What it does
By selecting certain frameworks/languages, you can see a list of already existing companies that are currently using that technology. Sort of like seeing which recipes have a certain ingredient in it, you can see which already completed projects are made from.
How we built it
We used next.js along with the builtwith.com API to gather the data and present them in a user-friendly way. We then used Netlify for hosting.
Challenges we ran into
Being relatively inexperienced, we were originally thinking of implementing Algolia search into the project. However, due to time constraints and problems with configuring the API, we decided to drop the idea. The data scraped from builtwith.com is also static, which was something we had to do in order to complete the project within the time constraint.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We have a really cool name.
What we learned
Sometimes it's not as easy as it looks, and this is one of those times.
What's next for What Can I Build With This Tech?
A more scalable implementation using APIs and Algolia.
