Nice challenge but I have a question. Are we only to start building on January 19 or we can start building now? How does the 24-hour hackathon work if the challenge is already open? Wouldn't people start building now?

@hunchodotdev @sangeetha_gsk You can submit the project anytime between now and Jan 19, but you should complete it on your own within 24-hours of starting it.

How do you verify that?

Basically the entire forum is finding ways to bypass the 24-hour limit :)

Hey @codemonster240, we are relying on the community to be honest about their time spent on the project.

In my opinion, that is the best way :)
If it's too good, I think you would know anyway.

GitHub commits perhaps? 😁

What if I finished everything locally and just pushed one commit? Would that still count as under 24 hours? Haha πŸ˜„ Seems like GitHub commits might not be the most accurate proof!
