CollabWorks

A platform for the users to connect with the community in a better way, have access to happy hacking and collab with other hackers!

Inspiration 🔥🔥

Our inspirations came from devpost, discord, and other social platforms where hackers could collaborate with one another but were restricted in their ability to connect with the community. We thought to develop a mobile application that would enable hackers and the hacker community to come together and enjoy hacking. This app enables hackers to connect with one another, form teams, and manage those teams, and allows organizations to view the teams and plan hackathons for their events.

What it does ⚒️⚒️

It is a platform where hackers and organizations can connect with each other, make teams, participate in hackathons, chat and interact with each other and have fun hacking together! It's a prototype but hopefully, it is a great start for an app to help hackers.

How we built it 🏗️🏗️

We built it using the UI toolkit by google->flutter and dart, firebase as the backend, Figma for designing, GitHub for collaboration and Twilio for sending the emails to the user along with Hedera for tracking user votes, and also we have used our blood and sweat to make it(jk)

Best Blockchain Project Using Hedera 🔐🔐

It's evident from our past experiences that folks use temporary emails to generate multiple fake Devpost accounts and then vote projects to get a competetive edge over others. To fix that, we have extensively used Hedera in our project to make sure that each Upvote is genuine and verificable! We have used Hedera’s testnet to deploy smart contracts for our app. Hedera is a decentralized public network that utilizes the Hashgraph consensus algorithm to overcome the traditional limitations of blockchain and allow one to create the next era of fast, fair, and secure applications.

Challenges we ran into 🛑⛔

There were a ton of obstacles we had to overcome, and for each one, we had to use our creativity to come up with other solutions. For example, some of our teammates had never used tables in a flutter or had little experience with Git. But with each other's help and support, we were able to learn about these things, and this was also the first time our team had used the SendGrid API with Twilio, which is used to send emails.

Accomplishments that we're proud of 🏆🏆

There are so many things for which we are proud of, such as the SendGrid API that we have integrated using Twilio, we never thought about using it, but because of the golden opportunity given by the MLS team via this hackathon, we were able to explore it and got to know about how the systems work. We are also happy to create something for the hackers and community to be connected with each other. We are also proud of creating 28 screens in less than 48 hours.

What we learned📚📚

There are a lot of things that we learnt by building this application, first how to be awakened for 48 hours without sleeping👀(jk), we learnt how to use firebase, SendGrid API of Twilio and Figma (all the things together in flutter), git and much more about flutter, our team also learnt about chatbot(which helped us), which is an ai tool by open ai,(aiming to learn the ml too for making a clone)

What's next for CollabWorks 🚀🚀

Our team is thinking to improve the user experience and user design by learning more about designs and flutter and taking it to another level by not just only making the prototype, but making it based on the dynamic data.

We all thank MLH for this golden opportunity given to us, we also learnt how to work together, met some awesome folks, and had a lot of fun.😁🎉

Happy New Year Judges and the Readers.
