Inspiration

We’ve all been there, sitting on an idea that could be huge, but no one to build it with. Or stuck wanting to make something, but not knowing what.

commit was born from that gap: A space where builders, designers, and dreamers can actually find each other. Not another networking app, but a platform built for people who want to ship.

What it does

commit connects people who want to build projects together. Creators can post ideas, from side projects to hackathon prototypes, and collaborators can swipe through, find something worth building, and join the team. Think Tinder for builders, but instead of dates, you’re matching with your next co-founder.

How we built it

We built commit using React, TypeScript, Supabase, and Tailwind. The front end handles the swipe interactions and profile cards, while Supabase manages user authentication and real-time project data. We prototyped the UI in Figma, focusing on fast onboarding and swipe-based discovery that feels intuitive but purposeful with minimal clutter.

Challenges we ran into

Defining the workflow between creators and collaborators.
Balancing simplicity and utility: Deciding how much info to show on each card, how to handle project requests, and coming up with an effective SQL schema.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Built a working prototype in under 36 hours that feels usable and fun.
Created a clean brand identity that captures the “ship it” mindset.
Watched people actually use it and say, “wait, this could actually exist.”

What we learned

How powerful it is when tech aligns with intent. commit reminded us that sometimes the problem isn’t lack of talent but it’s lack of connection.
We learned to think like product managers and designers at once: how to simplify, prioritize, and communicate the value of what we’re building.
