🚀 I Missed the Hackathon Deadline—But I’m Still Releasing My Project for the People

A few days ago, I was neck-deep building for the BoltAI Hackathon.
My project? Idea-HUB — a platform that lets creators upload, protect, and monetize their ideas, even mint them as NFTs. It’s a place for people like me, who have ideas but little to no resources.

Things started rocky — power outages, poor internet, a system that wouldn’t turn on without power. I had to run around just to find a working space, battling time and tech just to push something out.

And then… I missed the deadline.

It hit hard.
Not because I lost a prize — but because I wanted people to have the opportunity to make good use of what I’m building and because I know it’ll help a lot of people.
This project wasn’t just for me. It was for anyone who’s ever had a dream but no infrastructure.
But I realized:

Missing a deadline doesn’t kill the vision. Silence does.

So I’m releasing the project anyway. Half-baked. Buggy. Unpolished. But real.

💡 What is Idea-HUB?
Idea-HUB is a digital platform where creators can:

Upload and showcase ideas

Protect content using a premium lock/blur system

Let investors message them directly

Choose to mint their ideas as NFTs for added ownership

Receive payments directly through wallet integration

It’s built to serve the dreamers without resources. The underdogs. The me’s out there (lol).

⚠️ It’s not complete… yet
This is still a very early version. You might run into errors, unfinished flows, or design quirks. But I didn’t want to wait for perfection before sharing something that matters.

The GitHub repo is public.
If anyone out there resonates with the vision, I’m open to collaboration, contributions, or even just a chat.

Whether this becomes a fully free platform, gets backed by a partner, or stays an open-source project—the mission is the same:

To make it easier for creators to build, even when they have nothing.

Let’s make something that helps people.
Not for a challenge. Not for a prize.
But for the culture.
