This is a submission for the World's Largest Hackathon Writing Challenge: Beyond the Code.
Hackathons are so much more than lines of code—they’re about community, collaboration, and unforgettable moments shared with strangers who become friends.
Team Synergy:
This was my first time working with a fully remote, global team. We kicked off with virtual coffees, shared memes in our Bolt group chat, and built trust through late-night problem-solving marathons.
IRL & Virtual Connections:
Attending virtual workshops and live Q&As hosted by mentors was a game-changer. I gained fresh insights, received real-time code reviews, and, most importantly, realized I was not alone when facing challenges.
Mentorship Moments:
A shoutout to @techeducator and @buildwithbolt for their unwavering patience as they answered my endless stream of questions. The encouragement from the DEV Community kept me inspired to push onward, no matter how tough the bugs.
Memorable Community Moments:
- Celebrated every small win together on Discord!
- Swapped tips with other teams in the #wlhchallenge thread.
- Shared our project’s story and inspired younger devs to join their first hack.
Reflection:
This journey went far beyond projects—it’s about people, positivity, and the power of collaboration.
