Inspiration

Canada's big cities feel disconnected—immigrants, students, locals all live side-by-side but rarely mix. At Hack Canada 2026, we saw how events like hackathons instantly create community. ClipBet recreates that for any local gathering: bars, chess clubs, pickup soccer.

What it does

ClipBet lets anyone at an event bet real money on the outcome:

Fans scan QR/NFC → see live odds → bet $5-15 via Apple Pay → get notified
Organizers create markets in 30 seconds → print QR → watch pool grow → resolve

Connects diverse groups around shared local interests. Works for bar trivia, LAN tournaments, hockey bets.

How we built it

Used Reactiv ClipKit Lab (pure SwiftUI) for Reactiv sponsor challenge
Two URLs: /discover (create/browse) + /event/:eventId (bet)
Bettor flow: event screen → pick outcome → Apple Pay → success
Organizer flow: create market → QR code → dashboard → resolve
Google Antigravity built SwiftUI screens

Challenges we ran into

Organizers need dashboard access after closing/reopening Clip
Every screen had to work in under 30 seconds
Same URL shows different screens for fans vs organizers
Simulator doesn't support NFC (demo uses launcher)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Complete bettor + organizer flows for Reactiv track in 48 hours
Live pool stats, payout math, QR generation
Clear value before 30-second timer turns red
Solves Canada's "community isolation" with local betting

What we learned

App Clips perfect for quick events where diverse groups gather. 8-hour notifications close betting loops perfectly and notifications work great to inform user of bets closed/event ended. SwiftUI + ClipKit Lab = fast prototypes for Hack Canada's 30-day build phase.
