  • Font size should be 14px. ATM it's too big and overclutters this element
  • Remove padding from the edges of the tabs
  • Spacing between these tabs should be increased by a unit of 8 or 16px
  • "Search Results" should actually be "All projects"
    • Remove the padding from the side of this specific tab
    • A good implementation of this design can be found here
  • If the user selects a category within the Filter page, when re-entering the epxlore page this should be updated and switch to the correct one
  • Remove the fill from an activated tab. Otherwise we have to keep unnecessary paddings. If not possible, keep 8px padding.

Project card

The client wishes to make it easier to visually differentiate between projects that are alive and inactive. This will eventually become a more complex colour coding system that relies on things like Github activity. However, for now projects should be shown in the following order and priority…

  • Projects should always be ordered alphetically, then…
  • Projects that are alive/active (shown with green dot) should be displayed first
  • Projects that are dead/inactive (shown with red dot) should be displayed last

  • If it is not possible to show Active, Inactive both alphabetically, we can probably show all projects alphabetically and rely on the green/red dot to show project activity status. This might be less confusing…

Eventually, we can implement a "Sort by" filter than allows users to switch between

  • Alphabetical (A-Z)
  • Activity (High - Low)
  • Activity (Low - High)

Part 4: Prizes & Judging

When organising your event, you need to take prizes and judging into serious account. At their core, hackathons are fun and friendly competitions that allow teams to compete for prizes, awards, and accolades. This article dives into choices, judges, and the awarding of your event’s prizes. Choosing your Prizes When deciding what prizes to award the winners of your hackathon, it is worth bearing in mind your desired outcomes and hackathon goals. Prizes are a great incentivise for participants to build products and market events by attracting quality talent, and they can also align participant priorities and get them to build products that meet needs and desires. However, bigger prizes don’t always equal more participants. You should always provide prizes that are appealing, but you should also reserve some capital for other perks and bonuses, such as free access to software, mentorship, and workshops. When choosing your prizes, consider: Budget

Part 1: An Introduction to Virtual Hackathons

Virtual hackathons are online events where participants gather to build products or solve complex problems. Usually, following a specific theme or subject, hackathons are one of the most proven ways to incubate and build great ideas using a targeted technology or stack. At the end of the event, a selected panel of judges (usually industry experts) assesses the projects entered and awards prizes to the teams that build the most successful product or proof of concept. As you’ll read later, success is a relative term that you get to define as the event organiser. Over the past year, BOLT🔩FUN has hosted a number of different sized events that varied in subject, length, and target audience. Throughout these events, we registered > 800 makers on to our platform, incubated 100+ projects and ideas, hosted 60+ workshops and discussions, and distributed over 3.5 BTC (~$65,000) in prizes - onboarding the next wave of bitcoin maker talent. Our most recent event, the Legends of Lightning tournament, was the largest bitcoin hackathon ever run. In this 4 part guide, we will break down the key details, considerations, and modules you will need to know to run your own successful online hackathon event. Discover & Incentivise Your Target Audience When running an online event, one of, if not the most important aspect is who will take part. Stating the obvious, hackathons don’t run without participants. Make sure to put a lot of thought and energy into who you will target to sign up to your event. This effort will also greatly impact your marketing and registration success rate. Finding Your Target Audience

General Research & SWOT Analysis

Peak Shift also employs more general research methods during client sprints, including SWOT analysis of companies, platforms, or features. Research into competitor applications, user groups, and behavioural patterns provide a bedrock of user research which can be used to improve the UX of your application. This research can be done on a mirco (single feature) or macro (industry view) scale, depending on what is being focused on in a given sprint. Strengths We pull apart your application or feature to see what you're currently doing well, what distinguishes you from your competitors, and why. This gives us a good indication of USPs and how a product or specific feature/user journey can be shaped over time. This could be anything from UI/UX, customer service and support, to the values that drive your business. It's worth baring in mind that strengths are only strenghts if your competitors do not currently possess them, otherwise it's simply a necessity. Weaknesses
