Inspiration
While we did bounce around an idea that had more thought and passion prior to the hackathon, we ultimately let the prize categories be our inspiration. For most of our group members, hackathons were a fairly new thing. What better way to get hackathon experience than to let spontaneity take the wheel? To let life take the pen, and to scribble whichever way it might? To indulge in the fun and theatricality of it all, with the performative prize category, while also working on something some of us had never touched before (that being APIs)?
What it does
ABGemini takes any public Spotify playlist that you submit and rates them based on how performative (and niche!) your playlist is. Then, powered by Google Gemini, it provides you with personalized song recommendations to help you attain the ultimate performative music taste and mindset.
How we built it
We had one teammate handle the front-end work, one teammate handle the back-end work, and one teammate handle some back-end work and drawing assets for the project.
Challenges we ran into
Lack of experience and time constraints were the main challenges that we ran into here, the largest issues being:
- Making the Spotify API work
- Making the Google Gemini API work
- CORS Issues with front and backend
- Issues integrating front and back-end systems together.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Learned how to create, use and integrate APIs into our system from scratch.
- Made an aesthetically pleasing and theme-matched website page
- Did all this in under 6 hours
What we learned
For two of us, this was our first time ever going to a hackathon at all! We learned a lot about how to incorporate APIs in our code, how to use Github properly, and how to write backend code in such a way that it connects to frontend code.
What's next for ABGemini
No idea, if it does well maybe continue developing it a little more and put it up online hoping it goes viral
