(20,000 HNS) - Build an application with Handshake

[troq]

Gitcoin 'OWN THE INTERNET' Hackathon with Namebase and Skynet

Prize Bounty

10,000 HNS! (est $1000)

There will also be 3 runner-up 2000 HNS prizes.

On top of all that, all entrants who produce a substantially interesting Handshake application or upgrade will win a consolation prize of 250 HNS along with a free t-shirt!

Challenge Description

Build an application which focuses on enhancing Handshake as its fundamental purpose. This application should add a useful feature or functionality to the Handshake ecosystem, making it easy or possible to do something that was previously not easy or possible to do.

Taking an existing open source Handshake application and extending it to support new functionality or otherwise significantly improving the user experience is not only welcome but encouraged.

Submission Requirements:

• The project must be open source
• Handshake must be a fundamental element of the application. Bonus prizes available if you use Skynet
• The app must do something that is useful and interesting.
• Demo videos are strongly recommended for complete submissions
• You must have a Namebase account in order to get a free Handshake name to develop with for the hackathon (you can buy one separately yourself as well). If you did not register with the same e-mail you used to register for the hackathon, please DM Johnny Wu in the Namer Community here: https://discord.gg/V3aTrkp

How involved or difficult the application is will not be considered. If a very useful and interesting app can be created with very little effort, this app will still qualify for the grand prize and all other prizes.

Potential ideas:

Please see http://director.namebase.io/apps for a list of potential ideas
