This is a submission for the Wix Studio Challenge: Community Edition.

Code Catalyst

Code Catalyst is a place where developers can participate in hackathons. This is a place where recruiters can see the talent and from where developers can also build relations with other developers.

Development Journey

Even though I did not have much time for the hackathon , I think I was able to built up a pretty decent website. This was something I was planning to do so in a long time. I am working at a company and there was a plan to hire talented individuals. My suggestion was to start hackathons and hire from the talent list.

Really tough part was the data for the hackathon. This took a lot of time , then finally a miracle from God. I found the api to get the hackathons of devpost. I found it in the inspect .

What I really liked about Wix was it had pretty much everything I needed or which I lacked.
I am not really good at UI design and Figma but Wix helped me design a little bit.
I did not know that Wix allowed us to import npm packages, that was mind blowing. I used jsPdf to generate the pdf resumes for the users. But for some reason it was not printing.

I really loved the Wix Ide. I think it can come up with some significant developments in the future. Some of them being :

1. Integrating with VS Code and syning directly from it.
2. The layers tab in the Wix Studio if it comes in the Wix IDE as well, then I wouldn't need to shift between.
3. More control over the styling of the apps. Like the wix forum is awesome, but it would be more awesome , if the whole for the wix forum was in a folder and the folder can be accessed by the user/developer , so that the developer can make some advanced changes to it.

Velo api's was the one that really caught my attention. I did not know wix has a code editor. I took most of my time to go through the documentation than doing the project. Silly Me.

Much love to WIX team ❤️. Even though I have not finished much of the project , I was able to delve into a version of wix that much people has not got into.

Velo APIs

1. wix-data -> To play around with the CMS.
2. wix-location-frontend -> To navigate to pages.
3. wix-members-frontend -> To get the current login member
4. wix-window-frontend -> To open up some light boxes.
5. import {jsPDF} from 'jspdf' (Not really a wix api) But part of npm packages by velo.
6. wix-dashboard -> showToast Function to show the notification

Wix Apps

1. Wix Members -> For the members of the website.
2. Groups -> For the members to create groups and discuss.
3. Forum -> For the members to post to the general and share and gather info.

Not much but really a good experience. Thanks Jesus❤️.
