Hello G again! Today I officially got my BOLT starter pack which essentially is Day 1 of 30 for the hackathon. I thought of sharing my day to day journey of what I am building here in the Skool Community. :)
Anyway, so I joined the Bolt.new 30-Day Hackathon — and honestly, I thought it was just another build challenge.Turns out, it’s more like getting handed a backpack of premium dev tools for free. I haven't even built the app yet.
But here's what I have done: Plotted out all the perks like a game plan. Hehe! Got to make sure we maximize the free plans. AND CHEECCCCKK OUUUT what you get as a participant!!
- $30 Bolt Pro credit
- Free domain via Entri
- 6 months of Sentry (error monitoring)
- 3 months of ElevenLabs voice cloning
- $150 Tavus credits for AI video
- $512 in Algorand/IPFS API credits
- $50 Lingo credits for localization
- 2 months of Pica Pro for UI work
- and more...
I’m not rushing into the build yet because I want to use each tool at the right phase plus I STILL HAVE TO DECIDE ON THE APP TO BUILD. I got a few ideas but let us see.... 😅
Anyway lesson so far:
Planning your tools is part of building — especially when they come with usage limits or trials.
Anyone else joined?
