GOAL

Ship fast, ship smart. This page curates inspiration and suggested patterns for your DevPost entry and build.

TL;DR

  • Day‑1 (Sept 13): Ship a usable MVP.

  • Two‑week polish: Harden into a public beta, publish open‑source on GitHub, deploy on the organizer domain.

  • Framework‑agnostic agents: Use any agent framework. Include autonomous discovery + verification queue.

  • Cross‑platform PWA + accessibility + secure‑first.

Accessibility (minimums)

  • Semantic headings, labels, and alt text for images.

  • Keyboard nav for all interactive elements; visible focus.

  • High‑contrast toggle and reduced‑motion option.

  • Map: provide list view of results alongside map pins.

Security & Privacy (secure‑first)

  • Auth: Email/Google sign‑in; role‑based (user, scout, mod, admin).

  • Rules: DB rules to restrict writes; server‑side validation of payloads.

  • Rate limits on submissions & discovery jobs; anti‑spam tokens.

  • Storage validation: accept only images; limit size & type; virus scan where possible.

  • PII minimization: no phone/address of users exposed; venue contacts optional.

  • Respect robots.txt/ToS; provide attribution for sources.

Analytics & Metrics (starter)

  • Submissions/day, verification rate, dedup rate, time‑to‑approval.

  • Place views, outbound directions clicks, share card renders.

  • City coverage (pins per city), active scouts, DAU/WAU.

Deployment & Domain

  • One‑click deploy.

  • Feature flags for discovery jobs; separate staging/prod.

Open Source Essentials

  • License: MIT (or other permissive).

  • README.md: setup, env vars, seed script, deploy steps.

  • CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, issue/PR templates.

  • Small demo dataset + screenshots.
