Fun Marketing
Inspiration
We were a green finance-type software that did heavy data analytics on esg stocks as they pertained to categories or sectors in the OG david swensen asset allocation portfolio. However, after lots of setbacks with our chosen tech stack and other ancilliary things. We pivoted into a software focused on mass-marketing to random people at scale. To say this technology is amongst the greatest like emacs, chat-gpt, the internet (heard of it), or bitcoin, would be disrespectful to what we hastily created as a result of pivoting. Jokes aside, come chat with us and let us show you what we built!

How we built it
We used Go templating into HTML and in-line CSS with Bootstrap to get the frontend done as quickly and statically as possible. We have a DigitalOcean server which we got and that is hosting this go binary and then reverse proxying it with nginx with ufw host firewall protections and ssl protections from certbot. Github was our project management solution and git was our version control solution (sorry subversion fans). As for text editors / IDEs, we ran the gambit of vscode to nano to emacs (rip vim) to pycharm (even tho we didn't use python).
Challenges we ran into
We ran into a number of challenges during this Hackathon which we had to overcome. The majority of our team members were unfamiliar with the applications that we were using. We all had a very steep learning curve to overcome before we could begin seeing any positive results. Our biggest hurdle was ditching our initial project after 21 hours of work. We had to reassess our resources and determine what we could utilize in the time remaining.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are extremely proud of the work that we managed to achieve. We all used programs which we had never used before and we were able to learn a tremendous amount about each application. I believe our most impressive feat was our ability to come together and create a new project in the last 3 hours of competition. We brainstormed, planed, delegated, and coded our new project in record time.
What we learned
The most valuable thing we learned was to stay calm and focused when we ultimately decided to change our project last-minute. Also, we learned how to work efficiently and in a timely manner when this switch occurred.
