Build Weekend
Open live app ↗5 audience votes

What it does

Enter a goal, select a stake, people to hold you accountable, and a deadline. Goals and stakes cannot be changed after to lock you into to doing it. When you have completed the goal, call a vote and wait for your accountability people to confirm it. Be careful, because if the deadline passes, the stake will execute Built for people with ambitions who needs to hold themselves accountable to their goals..

What a real user taught us

When someone tried my app, they couldn't vote on a goal. I prompted the AI the fix it, but it did not at first give me the correct fix. I suggested for it to make a diagnostic test. This time, it was more helpful and proposed a working fix. From this experience, I learned about debugging strategies and prompting.

A safety issue we fixed

Users could name themselves anything, which included potential foul language that could degrade the experience of productivity on the platform. I added a filter to display names to prevent this.

What we would build next

Implement email API and real Stripe payments to enable real stake functionality.
