Getting started

I started working on a personal project, the project is still not complete but what I want to talk about is a project that was created for the main project.

QUICK NOTE: I am not going to talk about auth part, that’s a talk for another time

So I have this project I wanted to complete but after a certain point I realized that a HUGE part of my project is chatting, if users cannot talk to each other on my app then the whole idea is flawed, so I decided to make a new project for learning purposes.

Boot.dev’s first hackathon was announced July 22nd, and had three days to plan until the start of the hackathon on the 25th. I was very excited about this hackathon but I had no idea what I would do so I decided to join a team.

I found two really nice teammates namely Yash and Shivam, our vibe matched instantly and we started planning our project.

We brainstormed a lot of ideas but we couldn’t decide what we wanted to build, we thought of a chat application but scratched that idea because it was too “common”, then we thought of a barter application but scratched it as well because it was too big for the timelimit we had, eventually we decided to make a TUI for API Testing because postman was a GUI tool.
