Web Dev Challenge Hackathon 6: Capture Memories

The prompt: build an app that helps people capture memories.

There are so many things we experience that might seem small in the moment, but that we’d see as a treasured memory looking back on it years from now. A special event, a dinner with loved ones, a small adventure — or a big one.

Your challenge is to create an app to help people capture a special kind of memory. You get to choose what kind of memories your app will capture, but it should allow users to upload images and/or videos.

Apps must use Tigris Data as part of the build, and use of Fly.io is encouraged.

Make new connections and get expert guidance

We’ve set up a dedicated channel in the Learn With Jason Discord called #builder-chat for brainstorming, sharing ideas, and keeping each other accountable.

Find an accountabilibuddy, get expert guidance from the industry professionals, run your idea past Jason and other community members, and listen in to what the rest of the community is cooking up in this open call to kick off the hackathon.
