$hackathon

this is the final leaderboard of the first cycle of $hackathon

all the rewards allocated were delivered. if there are doubts or feedback, please reply here or via DC. lots of lessons learned with this one. your questions or feedback will help uncover them with more clarity

thank you to everyone that participated

main lessons

1. UI/UX is extremely important. today, after delivering the prize, i realized that it could be that @jvaleska.eth won because he was the first one on the voting list. and probably many people didn't understand what they needed to do, so they just clicked vote without reading. its wild to see how people interact with the UI of things and how different that this from the expectation. big, big lesson there

2. the communication around the process of choosing a winner needs to be clear and sharp and obvious, from as early as possible. the consequence of this not being in place properly is allowing for false winners (which happened to me yesterday) and which is extremely painful for the trust that people may have of what you are doing

3. the challenge needs to be more fun. right now, everything is too pointed towards the right of the midwit meme. and it feels exhausting inside me. it must feel exhausting for others. things need to be more light. more fun

but it is also so hard to get it right

Alchemist.

😂 I thought the list is at least randomized. we live and we learn

dev + founder | @onsenbot @maschine @herocast

the worst part is that I had that variable on the code but I somehow forgot to use it afterwards when rendering the list of votes (and used the default one instead)
