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.

After filling the form for 50$ credits, how soon I can receive that credit in digital ocean account?

[Bobby]

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.

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.

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?

[Bobby]

Hi there 👋

Both ideas sound great! I believe that both would fit into the Built for Business category.
