Inspiration
We were inspired to build Bug bounty because as developers that we are, we wanted to see a platform that provides an out of the box solutions to bugs and also out source the implementation of certain features, after long hours of coding and debugging remebering that there is one last bug to implement one feature left to integrate/implement shouldn't cause so much anxiety. while going through stackoverflow and using llms to assit in the development workflow of fixing bugs and interating new features we noticed that we couldnt get most issues resolved within the required time frame, then the idea popped in "what if we could build a website that allows other developers (hunters) to implement these feature and fix these bugs while getting rewarded for doing what they love". so we made a random survey and pitched the idea to people and it turns out, most developers and organizations were on board with the idea. And this was how Bugbounty came to be.
What it does
The software will provide a platform where organizations can create and manage bounty programs, and individuals (bounty hunters) can participate by submitting reports of bugs or vulnerabilities. The bounty program software will function as a standalone web-based platform accessible via standard web browsers. It may integrate with third-party services for authentication and payment processing.
How we built it
We built BugBounty on Internet computer's blockchains using React-js for the front end, Rust for the backend and python incorporated for fetching popular game APIs
Challenges we ran into
The challenge we had while building bugbounty was learning about internet computer protocol and building on its ecosystem. It was quite difficult for us to integrate those third party APIs as resources weren't much and clear. But we were able to get resources to help incorporate the APIs ( github's API) with Bug Bounty
Accomplishments that we're proud of
So far we have a full designed user interface with proper UX flow that have been tested with real users and we are proud to be making a software where people get to earn while providing utility to others and are in anticipation of.
What we learned
We learnt a lot while we built our website on ICP and linera ecosystem ranging from API integrations, learning about Rust, deploying linera/icp smart contracts etc, and we are still learning as there is still so much more to be achieved in building Bugbounty completely.
What's next for bug bounty
Creation of Guilds by grouping bounty hunters / allowing bounty hunters to form these pods, full project Builds that will be built soley on bug bounty by adding bounties on the features needed to make the software work as expected, leaderboards, push notifications etc.
