DocMaete

Inspiration

I’ve always thought about how studying could be better. With the rise of AI and modern technology, attention spans are shrinking. Kids, students, and even adults often don’t enjoy reading anymore, it feels stressful and time consuming.

I wanted to build something that makes reading, focusing more on Student Wellness & Productivity.

Less stressful

Easier

More interesting

Faster

That thought became the seed for DocMaete.

What I Learned

You can’t do everything solo: I tried in past hackathons, but burnout is real. Collaboration matters.

Building in public is powerful: even when engagement looks low, impressions and silent supporters are still watching.

Lessons compound: every attempt even failed ones, makes the next one better.

How I Built It

Front end: modern tools like Javascript, React, CSS, HTML for clean UI/UX.

AI/ML stack: designed to handle text processing and simplify content.

MVP focus: instead of chasing perfection, I shipped something functional first.

For example, one core feature is the ability to take a text passage and quickly simplify it for easier reading. This involved preprocessing the input, breaking down complex structures, and reformatting outputs in a way that aligns with how people actually consume content today.

Mathematically, you could imagine it as:

f(\text{content}) = \text{simplified}( \text{complex text} )

where maps long or difficult text into clear, digestible chunks.

Challenges Faced

Time pressure: building a working MVP in just a week was intense.

Frustration from past hackathons: in one, I had to abandon the project mid-way. That experience was painful but taught me resilience.

Emotional stress: balancing ideas, deadlines, and execution takes a toll.
