Community Discussion Thread — Deepgram Hackathon on DEV

This thread is your place to share progress with other Deepgram x DEV Hackathon participants — and to motivate one another throughout the contest!

In this thread, you can share...

  • Positive encouragement for other hackathon participants
  • Milestones you've achieved or things you've learned throughout the hackathon
  • Links to DEV posts related to your official submission (especially if you've written multiple reflections/progress posts). Don't forget to utilize the DEV article embed tag when sharing a link!

Note: Don’t forget that we’re granting a special profile badge to anyone (outside of the DEV and Deepgram teams) that comments on this thread. Additionally, the DEV team will be randomly selecting one person from this thread to receive $50 USD to the Forem Shop! This goes for anyone in the DEV Community – whether you plan to submit an entry or not. For more information, take a look at the official contest rules here.

Very excited for this one in a kind hackathon!
I love how Deepgram & DEV are very thoughtful not only to the participants, but also to the whole supporting community! ❤

I'm super excited to see the submissions!!! 🤩

Who knows I would have some idea and participate myself as my first ever hackathon 😄

We're so excited to see what everyone is going to come up with! We're doing a live kickoff over on our @DeepgramDevs Twitch Account Friday, Mar 11 at 1:30pm EST and we're going to be dropping ideas, tips, and inspiration over on our @DeepgramDevs Twitter account all month long.

You can always reach out to us for help and support. Hope to hear from folks soon!

Hi, can someone just briefly explain what exactly we have to do in "Innovative Ideas" Challenge. Do we just have to come up with some idea or prepare some docs over it as well? And after I created my DeepGram account I got some free credits to use, are they permanent or do they expire after sometime?
And thanks for another Hackathon challenge :)

You're only required to write about the idea. The template for innovative ideas submissions gives some guidance for things we'll be looking at. We do encourage mockups or some audio or visual aid to support your writing if possible.

Im so very very happy when I read about Deepgram Hackathon. Because Im deaf myself and cant wait to start read accurately through everything now. Havent really been online last weeks because of sickness. BUT better late than never right?

Even it ends soon I wants to let you whose participates in this feel free to contact me to ask any questions if you wants to know anything. Maybe my deafness will be useful to help out :)

Seriously, cant describe how much grateful I'm feeling right now <3

I'm going to share this with my fellow deaf friends + communities to let them know about this lovely Hackathon.

I posted a little implementation that uses NextJS -- my hope was that it'd provide a good example for those who want to get started consuming the Deepgram API using NextJS. Enjoy! dev.to/cerchie/fun-with-deepgram-a...

I was going to ask how does Deepgram differ from other services like Twilio, then I found this great post on how you can use them both together: developers.deepgram.com/use-cases/...

Thanks Deepgram!

Hello! I finally started reading the deepgram docs and making their first tutorials. I must say, it's super cool 🚀. Now the thing is that I have many different ideas and I want to implement more than one. Is it allowed to post more than one submission for the build challenge? Or I must participate with a single submission? 😓
Thanks for organizing this amazing hackathon!
