That is a great post! Thank you for sharing it 🙌
I have a question:
To make every post part of a series, the hint was
"use series: [“series name”] in the markdown heading of all your App Platform Hackathon posts to link all content in a series"
I've never made a post on dev.to before, so the heading is referring just to a normal markdown heading?
like this?:
series: ["series name"]
or is it something else?
Thanks!
Yea, I faced the same issue.
The answer is
And put this at the very top.
I wrote about this silly documentation as well in my first #dohackathon post of the series

Hi, I have the same question, I couldn't find any answer yet. I guess we can name the series whatever we want and stick with it until the hackathon ends.
Yea, I faced the same issue.
The answer is
And put this at the very top.
in the "Basic Markdown" version of the post, it's super easy. There's a header between dash lines, just put the series there.
I still can't figure out how to do it on rich + markdown
How many entries are allowed? 😂 I'm almost finished with my new portfolio and it's on the app platform already ✌🏼
Unlimited entries! That's awesome about your portfolio! Got a link?
Cool!
yeah here dev-studio.icvn.tech
love the look. the animations add such a good touch!
Thank God for Lottie's!
Cool it seems like we are having another hackathon.
Good luck, and have fun building!

Thanks ✌️
I still have a $37.85 credit on my DO account for the covid tracker I built. Will the current credit be in conflict with the credit I'll receive on this Hackathon?
The credits will add up!
Thanks, man! I appreciate all the answers I got from you. Cheers!
I am trying to deploy my gridsome app with Digital Ocean Static Site, but failing with
buildprocess, any idea ?When the DotNetCore support is launching on App Platform?
There is no official ETA for this yet.
As of the time being, you can accomplish this with a Dockerfile in your repo.
This is an example: github.com/snormore/aspnetcoresample
Source
Godaddywindows hosting only supports.NET Core 2.0andAzureis Costly, So Consider cheaper pricing of.NET Corehosting once its released inApp Platform..NETDevelopers will like it. 😄Sad to hear that .... :(
You can try using Dockerfile like this sample
ASP.NET Core Docker Container Sample for DigitalOcean App Platform
ASP.NET Core Docker Container Sample for DigitalOcean App Platform
This sample demonstrates how to run a Dockerized ASP.NET Core application on DigitalOcean App Platform. Since App Platform doesn't yet support dotnet core, this sample shows how to accomplish this using Dockerfile.
This sample has been adapted from official dotnet docker sample - github.com/dotnet/dotnet-docker/tr...
Getting Started
These steps will get this sample application running for you using DigitalOcean.
Note: Following these steps will result in charges for the use of DigitalOcean services
Requirements
Forking the Sample App Source Code
To use all the features of App Platform, you need to be running against your own copy of this application. To make a copy, click the Fork button above and follow the on-screen instructions. In this case, you'll be forking this repo as a starting…

Hi everyone, I'm a product designer and have basic knowledge about coding. I'll be building a digital postcard customization platform where users can customize a postcard, write their message and send to their loved ones through email. They can also download it as PDF if they want to print it!

On the last day of Hackathon submission. I would like to share my project 'MACFOLIO' with everyone.
MACFOLIO is my visionary project and I initiated this project as a Personal Portfolio website. But it is something much more than that with great potential.

Hello guys! Good day. I hope we all had a wonderful holiday. I've been working on the Digital Ocean App Platform hackathon and my project is about building a data visualization as a service product I call: Vaas; this app helps both non-developers to create and download beautiful dynamically generated charts using their data from the app User interface and developers to create dynamic charts using the app API. It is slated for the 'Built for Business' category and this hackathon was the necessary nudge I need to go ahead with building the product. You can find my progress documentation here: dev.to/ajahso4/data-visualization-...
Also, the app can be accessed here: vaas-wu4a4.ondigitalocean.app/ . I would appreciate your comments and feedback on how I can make the app better for everybody that would be using it. Thanks for your most anticipated response. Do have a great week ahead as we all work to put in finishing touches to our submissions.
Will we need to take the Basic Plan and pay $5/month to deploy our Node JS server in this Hackathon?
Hi there,
No, you don't need to use the basic Droplet plans. The Hackaton is only for the new DigitalOcean App Platform.
Also, you can fill out this form to get a $50 credit for DigitalOcean, good for 60 days from the date of redemption.
Thanks ✌️✌️✌️✌️
No problem! Good luck! 🙌
And if you want some encouragement building something for your fellow developers, here it is:

Hey guys 👋
Super excited about the hackathon. However, would a pizza delivery app be a good fit for any of the categories? If not, what about an invoice template generator?
Hi there 👋
Both ideas sound great! I believe that both would fit into the Built for Business category.
Should I deploy the app first then fill out the $50 form or the reverse?
Here's my submission for the hackathon.

Hi there 👋
If you don't have a credit or debit card, you can use PayPal instead. Good luck!
Hello, what if I don't have a credit card?
Use Debit card
Can I host my backend on a DigitalOcean VPS, provided that I do host my frontend on App Platform? I do prefer docker, so please say yes :) 🙏
Hey there 👋
I believe that as the main objective of the hackathon is to host the applications on the new App platform, it is best to deploy both of your backend and front-end services on the App platform.
You will still be able to use Docker actually. You can provide a Dockerfile for DigitalOcean to use in the build process.

After filling the form for 50$ credits, how soon I can receive that credit in digital ocean account?
The official statement is 2 business days, but in most cases, it is much sooner.
You can still start building your app and once you have your credit it will cover the expenses.
With the App deployed, do I have to use DO's database or I can use any other database?
Hi there 👋
I believe that the goal of the Hackaton is to use the App Platform and its different components.
Hi I am already having $49 credit in my account do taking this $50 affect my credit.
An above comment says that they will add up!
