📅 Day 1 – Kickoff, Chaos & Clarity
Today marks Day 1 of the Bolt.new Hackathon, and I’m officially in! 🔥
I spent the day diving into the hackathon rules, themes, and community discussions to get a feel for what’s expected and what others are thinking about. It’s always exciting (and a bit overwhelming) at the start—so many possibilities, and only 31 days to build something that clicks.
🧠Brainstorming Time
I grabbed a notebook, opened a blank Notion page, and just started dumping ideas. Some random thoughts I explored:
Could I build something that automates a pain point in my own workflow?
Can this project use AI in a meaningful way—without just throwing in ChatGPT?
What’s something super fast and simple that helps people but could scale?
I kept circling around the idea of speed and utility—core values of Bolt.new.
đź’ˇ Shortlisted Ideas
After a couple hours of bouncing ideas around and doing light research, I narrowed it down to...
ZERO ideas. Still brewing....
Still deciding which to commit to tomorrow—but already feeling a direction forming.
🎯 Goal for Tomorrow (Day 2)
Lock in my idea and define the core problem I'm solving.
Draft a rough feature list / user flow.
Choose a tech stack that matches my strengths but pushes me a bit to learn something new.
That's all for today, check in back for Day 2!
