This is a submission for the MLH x DEV Writing Challenge
What I Built
My team and I built CumulusFit, a fitness app, tailored to the theme of our hackathon "In The Clouds" that has Gemini API integration to help you get in the gym and start working out to life yourself above the clouds!
Demo
Here's a link to our DevPost, where you can check out our live demo + deployed site: https://devpost.com/software/cumulusfit
Partner Technologies
We integrated Gemini API to our app to help our users generate specific workout routines, a structured schedule that fits in with your own daily schedule, and a smart "swap" button that a user can click mid-workout to swap out an exercise if a machine is taken.
We used Cursor Agents to help plan and build the UI/UX of the overall app.
Hackathon Experience
We attended HackRPI, my team and I's personal local hackathon. As a new college freshman, this was my first hackathon experience, and I teamed up with some friends in my Data Structures class! Overall, I had a great time, despite not being able to walk away with any prizes. I believe we may have been lacking on our idea in creativity a little, but I'm still pleased with the way it turned out, and this was actually my first every deployed app that I've made!

The hard part of a hackathon is often choosing what to leave unfinished. A short post-mortem that separates the riskiest assumption, the smallest demo that proved it, and the one feature cut for time can turn the pressure into a reusable planning habit for the next build.
