Interesting challenge, but I have a question: If I recall correctly, doesn't deploying an applet to Cloud Run require a billing account, which in turn incurs billing for the participant per run? Is the deployment part mandatory?

Hey @delaaja, great call out. Deployment is required, and Cloud Run actually has a substantial free tier, which should cover anything incurred from our judging usage. Please see this page here to see what's covered, so you can be aware while testing (pre-submission): https://cloud.google.com/run?e=48754805&hl=en#pricing

Hello mam @jess
Can I create the app in Gemini itself, then zip the code, and work on it locally using Gemini CLI? I'll be deploying the app, but not using Cloud Run, but probably Netlify/Vercel.

Would it be eligible, or will it make it ineligible for the challenge?
