This is my first official participation on Devpost and also my first hackathon ever.
For a long time, I avoided hackathons, not because of lack of ideas, but because of the time pressure. I always felt that meaningful products need space to grow. This time, I decided to face that fear and start with an ambitious idea, excited to build something real and useful within a limited timeframe.
YelpOut was born from a personal need: to help me and my family decide where to go without spending hours searching. I believe the best products are created with real people in mind, and for me, that starts with family. YelpOut is about turning uncertainty into confidence—transforming “Where should we go?” into a thoughtful, enjoyable plan.
This project pushed me out of my comfort zone and reminded me why I love building. I’m excited to keep improving YelpOut and to see where this journey leads.
Thanks to the Devpost and Yelp communities for the inspiration—this is just the beginning.
