Context
In recent months, the current economic crisis has transformed the way we work and do business at an unprecedented rate. Many organizations are instituting mandatory work from home policies, or have already announced a permanent shift to a remote working culture. For many organizations, this abrupt change marks a significant shift in how teams engage, communicate, and interact with one another. As a result of this transition, organizations have started to rethink how team members can be recognized for their hard work and dedication with the days of a “pat on the back” or a kind acknowledgement in passing is no longer as simple as it once was.
What it does
Monday Rewards is an employee recognition system designed to express appreciation for employees' contributions within your team and organization. Our app has been designed to encourage and incentivize team building, give accolades, celebrate failures, and so much more. We believe everyone in an organization should recognize each other’s hard work and efforts while having fun!
Did someone pull an all-nighter to get the project done? Award them with a
Night Owl
badge and share the success with teammates. Did one of your teammates do something outstanding? Don’t send a boring text message. Praise them with a
High Five
badge!
For each badge and trophy you get, earn XP points and compete against your colleagues for the top spot on the
Leaderboard
. For every item changed to 'Done', earn more points towards your next XP level and earn milestone badges along the way. Your teammates can see who’s leading or close to overtaking so work hard and work smart to maintain your lead and show them who's boss!
But hey, to keep things interesting, we believe failures should be celebrated too! Did someone miss a deadline or ask for an extension? Give them a badge and deduct the points. It’s a competitive world out there!
Enough about the teammates, what about the management?
Many companies strive to have a rich culture in their organization, but most leaders don’t have time to track their employees good deeds by witnessing and recognizing their efforts, whether remotely or in the office. With Monday Rewards, team members can praise, recognize, and celebrate failures and successes with each other, anytime and anywhere. However, this isn’t just a top down system between managers and those who report into them - it’s about everyone! Managers are people and want some appreciation too! It’s a 360-degree style of recognition which we believe builds empathy and transparency between everyone in the company, while forging fun and meaningful relationships as well.
This is Monday Rewards. A fun and engaging app for teams to recognize, praise and appreciate.
Value Proposition
When designing this app, our primary goal was to ensure that it didn't function as a novelty product, but one that provides value to both the business and user. The badge system we've developed focuses on simple user achievements most rewards systems offer - Birthday badges, Work Anniversaries, XP Points reached, etc. However, we felt that this system could also act as a fun way to incentivize users to discover features throughout the Monday app, such as the
Board Owner
badge for when someone creates a new board in Monday, or even the
Monday Madness
badges that users can earn after an item status is changed to 'Done' 100x, 500x, 1,000x, 25,000x, etc. Our goal has been to create a scaleable system that allows ample room for new badges to be added whenever new features are integrated, or even when a new idea comes to mind. We believe this gamified system is a fun and engaging way to help guide the user to different features within the platform and discover new tools to help solve problems and/or manage teams and processes within their organization.
How We Built It
JavaScript along with HTML and CSS were primarily used with Node.js for the back end and React for the front end.
Milligram
was used as our CSS framework along with CouchDB for the database and monday-sdk-js for the front end library.
For back end dependencies, this app utilizes
Express
for the web application framework and also used to handle our http server and routing.
Babel-cli
and
Babel-preset-react-app
transpiles our React JSX code into standard JavaScript code,
Cors
helps with cross origin resource sharing,
Body-parser
helps parse the body of http requests,
dotenv
has been used for accessing environment variables,
ejs
(a JavaScript templating language, jsonwebtoken for managing JSON web tokens,
monday-sdk-js
to build for the Monday.com Work OS platform,
nano
for managing CouchDB,
path
for working with file/directory paths, and
pino
for logging.
We are using
Ngrok
for development with hosting on a linode cloud server. On the Linode cloud server we are using an Nginx server to serve our app. Nginx will be set up as a proxy directing requests from port 80 to the port our app is running on. The Linode server will also be encrypted so the data will be encrypted at rest to meet business compliance standards.
Challenges We Ran Into
This project certainly challenged us in terms of connectivity issues with the server (because it was only accepting ipv6 traffic), the integration recipes took a little while to understand, and ultimately our own estimation of how long we felt it would take to work on such an ambitious project. In the end, we were able to make it happen, but it definitely wasn't easy. Thankfully, we've had a lot of fun working on this project and look forward to building more apps for the Monday marketplace in the future.
Accomplishments That We're Proud of
From Hunter...
"I enjoyed the process of designing for the Monday.com platform and learning about their API. To me, the challenging part was setting up the integrations and configuration settings. Overall, if we had more time I’d be able to add more features. I have a solid grasp of how apps are built for this platform."
From Alina...
"I’m glad I had an opportunity to write tooltips and notifications for our rewards system. As outlined in the Design Principles, to delight the user using down-to-earth language, which I enjoyed writing for our badges/trophies. The best part was to be able to celebrate achievements, successes and failures with the user in a friendly and empathetic way through UX writing. I’m satisfied with our product’s outcome and believe it will provide value to the teams."
From Kori...
"This was my first experience working with the Monday Design System and I absolutely loved it! It's fun, easy to use, and really helped me gain more experience as a Product Designer."
What's Next for Monday Rewards
As a small team, and one with a single developer, we worked endlessly throughout this challenge to come up with a concept, define how it could work, where there's an opportunity for it in the marketplace, and also begin to create our core MVP.
We recognize that not every badge we've determined to be possible is currently set up and running due to time constraints and resources (i.e., 10 year anniversary badge since that wouldn't come up immediately), so our main goal first and foremost is to continue developing the app for it to be marketplace ready with all badges included.
In addition, we hope to receive guidance from the Monday team to understand how we can design and integrate a wider range of badges with a focus on introducing and guiding users to features within the platform. From our experience using Monday, we see that the possibilities are endless in terms of the tools available to help teams solve their unique challenges, manage projects, groups, and more. We designed Monday Rewards from the very start to be a scalable app that would allow an endless number of badges to be integrated within, and would certainly appreciate the help the Monday team could lend towards helping us recognize further opportunities to make Monday Rewards even bigger and better.

Inspiration
Part of the inspiration comes from having to wear so many hats during the pandemic. To having to coordinate schedules across many different projects, from developing medical devices (current job) to scheduling kids getting schooled right at home over two households. Monday brings simplicity to the task of scheduling and tracking a team. But when the tasks get small (assignments) and there are many people with many dependencies, creating a schedule is problematic. ByNextMonday aims to put that load onto the computer and synchronize a very visual board with the Monday database. By letting the computer solve the most efficient routes, I think it could be bring monday to new areas, like education and even personal health care (scheduling at home visits ). And, simplifying the generation of scheduling increases the amount that can be scheduled.
What it does
BNM reads from a stream of jobs (collections of tasks) and users, transforms them (say, a school lesson to lessons for every student), and distributes them over user's available time, casting the right tasks to the right actors and optimizing all of this with constraints of time, location, skill, etc.
Currently, it has to be hardwired to read jobs from
/assets/classroom_jobs.json
/assets/classroom_users.json
How we built it
The front end is an angular web app. The backend is python on top of mathematical libraries. Firebase handles the primary storage and communications issues
Challenges we ran into
Currently, we can solve the schedule more efficiently that we can scale number of tasks written into the monday db, There definitely may be a better way to do this and I'd love to work with Monday to figure this out. Unfortunately, the db calls to create items had to be throttled down to 1 item creation per 4 seconds or the server would start throwing errors and all the items could not be created. I'd love to find out how to programmatically batch import into the system.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
That I got to the end, considering work and home school
What we learned
Resolving dependencies for large bunches of tasks is something best left to computers.

The Interface to design a new floor plan
Home screen view for admins
Inspiration
Monday is the true Work OS where every process of a company could happen. With the COVID-19 a lot of offices were closed, and people forced to work from home.
In some countries, companies are organizing the comeback of their employees in the office. But this has become a logistic nightmare for HR.
I wanted to offer a tool to ease this process and let employees book in advance their spot in the office while enforcing social distances.
What it does
Using
Seats.io
library, HR managers can design floor plans for each office. On each floor plan they will indicate the available seats and their characteristics (standing desk, desk with monitor, ...).
Once the floor plan is ready, HR manager could create a special event to let employees book their spot. An event could be a special day, a week or a month, depending on their needs.
Employees can then visualize on the floor plan where they want to seat, pick their spot and voilà 🎉
Managers have a global view of all the booking in the board where the app is installed
How I built it
Using React and Grommet for the UI.
Using Seats.io API for all the floor plan design, booking system, and social distance rules.
Challenges I ran into
Using Monday storage API
Build a clear onboarding to point the user to the settings panel.
What I learned
Getting more familiar with React in general, discovering Grommet UI framework, and finally getting to try seats.io API.
What's next for SeatMap - reserve your seat in the office
This app could work beyond the COVID situation and could be used in office space with a lot of hot desks and visitors. Visitors could book their desks for the week they are in town.

Inspiration
While monday.com is growing a large customer base every day, new and even long-term users lack knowledge on how to efficiently and quickly set up or translate their workflows and core business functions into the platform, thus increasing the number of static boards and accounts. The 'Flow' Series of Applications was born to close the gap by strengthening the monday.com offering to easily create and manage automated workflows and solutions for any team with just a few clicks. The Flow for Sales Teams application that is submitted here is the first of this series.
Pain Points
Research within our customer base shows that a majority of monday.com users;
• lack knowledge on best practices even after constant use.
• lack advanced knowledge to translate the existing or to change CRM workflows most efficiently onto the boards.
• find it difficult to adapt quickly to a change in the workflow and reflect it on the platform.
• find it difficult to onboard a new team member to the same page from day one.
• spend more time entering data into the CRM.
'Flow' for Sales Teams
According to a recent article published by McKinsey & Co., COVID-19 has caused almost 90 per cent of sales to move to a videoconferencing(VC) / phone/ web sales model. Our study and experience show that monday.com is close enough to become a prime challenger in this market to bridge this gap. The 'Flow’ for Sales Teams aims to empower monday.com users with a guided, easy-to-navigate, powerful and robust CRM solution.
What it does?
• Generate an end-to-end CRM Solution framework - (In total; 7 Integrated and Automated Boards + 1 Connected Dashboard, 1 Configure View & 1 Sales Rep View) at a click.
• Provides an aerial view of the workflow in Deal Stages, keeping everyone on the same page.
• Give more visibility to team leaders to take control and manage the workflows without any extensive training.
• A dedicated view for Sales Reps to enter data and visualise the deals in the deals pipeline quicker, saving time.
• The app guides the team to build every step of the opportunity pipeline.
How it works?
The 'Control Panel - CRM' Board
Step 1: Install the app into the monday.com account.
Step 2: Create a Folder and rename it to CRM in the Main Workspace.
Step 3: Create a New Board and rename it to Control Panel - CRM and modify the columns as viewed here
link
. The board acts as a document control of the workflow.
Step 4: Install the app, 'Flow for Sales Team' in the board view.
Step 5: Click on 'Import All' to generate.
Step 6: Move all the Boards and Dashboard under the ‘CRM’ Folder
Seven Integrated and Automated Boards
• Opportunity Register
link
: Tracks the progress of the opportunities through the deal stage pipeline grouped by quarters
• Risk Register
link
: Stores the risk associated with the business against an Opportunity, and is linked to the Opportunity Board.
• Company Directory
link
: Stores the information related to the company against an Opportunity, and is linked to the Opportunity Board.
• Company Contacts

: Stores the information related to the competitors that need to be tracked against an Opportunity, and is linked to the Opportunity Board.
One Connected Dashboard
Example Widgets:
• Opportunity by Deal Stages (Battery Widget)
• Total Deal Value by Months (Graph)
• Total Deal Value by Products (Graph)
• Close Date Distribution by Months and Deal Stages (Graph)
• Opportunity Pipeline in Values (Number Widget)
• Board Updates
One Configure View: For Configuring the Workflow
• A list of validated checkpoints between deal stages is auto-created to form a CRM Framework. The sales team is then collectively responsible for configuring the workflow (or the checkpoints) between each deal stage in an aerial view based on the current pattern.
• This view can be maintained as the live document to refer back for further improvements into the workflow or to train any new sales reps efficiently as they join the team.
One Sales Rep View: Unique View For Sales Reps
Once the deal stages are configured, the Sales Reps can use the Sales Rep View at the operations level to manage the flow of opportunities. The Sales Rep view solely focuses on having a unique view for Sales Reps to speed up the process of entering and accessing data.

Challenges we ran into:
We came across many new challenges during this journey, as it was also our first attempt on building an APP on the APP frameworks since being a partner consultant. Most challenges are around technology as the current limitations do not produce the deliverables as expected. For this reason, we have settled to release an MVP for alpha/beta-testing, subject to further improvements based on the feedback.
Some of the other hurdles are listed below:
For GraphQL / API
• How to create dropdown options, In case we make a column that allows values from the dropdown selection?
• How to update columns? i.e. Update the name or update data type or update description etc.
• How to get the description of the column? We do not have any parameter on the API to Query description.
• How to delete the column using API?
• How to set the colour for the board/group using API?
• How to share data between two boards using a single view through local storage on monday.com?
For WebHook
• Is there any webhook which will update the changes in column property?
• Is there any webhook which will update for the delete column from the board?
3rd Party data storage
• Can we store some values in our internal / 3rd party database?
Note: We are eagerly looking forward to the support from the monday.com team to help us to test, fix bugs and errors.
Accomplishments that we are proud of:
Just in the last 40 days, we have been able to;
• Go through a tremendous experience that boosted our team's confidence.
• Produce an exciting and unexpected commercial video for the 'Flow' App for Sales Team
link
.
• Welcome two additional members to our team exclusively to build new solutions for our clients using monday.com APP Framework.
• Experience first-hand with the monday.com APP framework, in different settings, strengthening our knowledge around the platform.
• Strengthen our relationships within the monday.com team and community.
• Organically create pathways to attract new business opportunities.
What we learned?
Though the monday.com APPs framework is in its beta version, we envision that providing more flexibility to developers will further expand the possibilities of the monday.com WorkOS to fit any team's workflow and needs.
What's next for Flow?
Short-Term (6 months)
• Fix Challenges stated above.
• Internal Quality Testing.
• Alpha/Beta Testing to improve the UI/UX, features and functionalities of the Flow App.
• Automation and Integration setup.
• Dashboard Setup and Import.
• A Sales Document Board to include call scripts and other sales-related documents.
Medium-Term (1 Year to 1.5 Years)
• Extend the ease of building workflows for Project Management and Marketing Teams
Long-Term (2 Year to 3 Years)
• Extend the ease of building workflows for any Team.

Creation of a new site in Ubiqod backend
Example of recipes applied to a board in Monday.com
Email received by the assigned person
What our app does
Our App tracks time of people on site, using the GPS of their smartphone to prove their presence at the expected location. Users can create missions or job tasks (items) directly into Monday.com, and they will be able to follow the progress of the mission in real time. The whole process is automated, from sending the mission details to the assigned person to the departure from the site.
How it works and how we can implement it in a Monday.com account
When project managers want to launch a mission, they have to follow the following process:
Create an item containing:
A Ubiqod site number
An assigned person (who will receive the email, can be a Viewer)
A deadline
The name field is used to describe the mission to carry on (ex.: clean the building)
Trigger the sending of the mission by email (depending on the recipe):
Manually with a status update
Scheduled depending on the deadline (ex.: at 8pm the day before the mission date)
A
free Ubiqod account
is requested in order to manage sites and run the integration (oauth process with Monday.com when adding the recipe).
The workers receive an email with a unique link. When they arrive on site, they click this link, and they can "clock-in" and "clock-out" with a mobile web interface (no app required)
While doing so, the system check their GPS position, and compare it to the position of the site. In case of mismatch, an alert is sent to Monday.com (update in the item).
Inspiration
Skiply is tracking on site presence of tens of thousands people working for the largest facility management companies in the world (including ISS). Unitl now, we did it mainly with IoT.
But with the COVID crisis, our customers asked us to find contactless solutions, or solutions that are usable with personnal devices.
We realized that Monday.com, combined with our site and position management tool, could provide a very good tool to monitor, visualize and manage service requests and to track the working time.
Impact
With the crisis, tracking remote activities became one of the biggest challenge in many sectors (Facility Management, Industry, Maintenance, Medical Care Services...)
Everyday, we receive requests from companies who are looking for reliable and simple solutions to check that the job is done on time by remote workers.
It can be for the maintenance of an elevator, or even to be sure that the nurse went at school on time to pick up the kids.
For us, this App is a very simple solution, universal, and adapted to every type of workers (especially those who will never connect to Monday.com).
Regardless of the issue of the challenge will be, we plan to promote it widely.
How we build, what we learned and challenges we faced
We never used Monday.com API before. So, even if we were really familiar with the tool, we had to learn. We followed all the technical webinars, asked for the feedback of the Monday.com team... We are active on the community site. We really enjoyed participating as a team.
Of course, we had a good background, especially in Node.js, that helped to build a robust and secured solution.
The main challenge was to propose a simple solution that can be use by anyone, not only by people that are familiar with IT tools.

I've been building apps since the apple opened its app store for my ventures and for customers. Over the years this process was always cumbersome and expensive and if I needed a custom app for my internal work needs, most of the time it was waiting in the bottom of the list of the IT department. Apps. There is so much behind them, the backend, the UI, the data, submitting for Apple or Google approval. And design and development. Not cheap. Quality is not certain.
When I was looking at Monday.com boards, automation and integrations and the app platform I understood what how this can be a true no-code platform to build work web apps that can be used by employees and other stakeholders and wouldn't require any resource. This blew my mind.
What it does
Jetpack Editor takes board data and lets you create a full-blown webapp that can be distributed among team members, customers and partners. Jetpack takes Monday.com work OS to the next level by enabling Monday.com users to build web apps that fit their use cases and workflows - For salespeople that are on the go and need a convenient UI to see data and report. Employees that would like to build mall apps that help internal communication, for Event planners that not just use Monday.com to plan the event but also to share event schedule and details with the event-goers. the sky is the limit.
What's next for Jetpack apps
We will launch Jetpack apps on Monday.com marketplace as a public app.
We see Jetpack apps as an important piece in turning boards and workflows into SOLUTIONS that combine the boards as back office and the web app as a front-facing tool. Creating a new value to Monday.com users.

The Story Behind CRO Flow
Our Inspiration
We’re a small but mighty team of web developers, digital analysts and certified Conversion Rate Optimization consultants. Polished Geek is based out of NC, USA and our team has been working 100% remotely for over five years now (and using monday.com for almost the last two years).
A lot of systems and tools exist to manage the final (and admittedly "sexier") stages of CRO programs, the technical experimentation phase. However, very few exist to support the earlier stages of an effective CRO process. The research and ideation phases are critical to making sure you are testing the
right
things in your A/B tests, things that have the most potential to improve your business and deliver ROI.
Thus CRO Flow was inspired by three important things colliding:
An ongoing business need in our own organization to better manage CRO projects
A lack of affordable CRO tools in the market to manage the foundational stages of a CRO process.
Together with our love of working with monday.com!
CRO Flow will be released to the public via the monday marketplace as soon as Workspace Templates are available.
What it does
CRO Flow is a full end-to-end solution for managing your Conversion Rate Optimization process and projects: From Research to Ideation, through generating a solid Hypothesis and keeping track of your Experiments.
CRO Flow leverages the ease, power and transparency of monday.com to help CRO teams better manage their projects and collaborate with external clients and internal stakeholders.
It includes:
5 custom board templates
Support for the user's choice of two leading prioritization frameworks in the CRO industry, PXL or PIE
3 custom board views
A completely new way to visualize your CRO ideas with a mini-card board view
5 dashboards (native monday.com functionality)
A CRO Flow Support center dashboard for easy access to documentation and help
Dark mode support
Multi-language ready
How we built it
We actively participated in the monday developer workshops and hackathon webinars to learn as much as we could about monday apps. Things certainly change fast around monday, so we ended up having to refactor multiple times. Even the last few days coming up to the contest, monday quietly released two-way item links between boards, so we rebuilt all of those in our board templates to use the latest features.
Because Workspace Template apps (AKA Solution apps) are not yet available for developers, we were not able to completely package our solution for the contest. We discussed this with Dipro Bhowmik and were told we should submit with links to our board template views and video walkthroughs.
Here are links to our board templates:

Challenges we ran into
The API rate limit per minute was a major challenge and remains one today. We wanted to use micro API calls in a modern fashion but with the rate limit, we had to utilize a mix of monolithic and micro API calls for now. We do still see a problem at times with hitting the rate limit, for example when an enthusiastic user starts rapidly playing with the Idea Cards board view settings.
We often ran into undocumented features during development, and having direct access to monday.com developers through the Developer Workshops (thanks Dipro!) and Hackathon sessions were invaluable to help get us past any roadblocks.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
While we've been a development company for over a decade, this was our team's first project using Vue / Nuxt, so there were absolutely some growing pains!
We're proud of building an app that enables powerful views in a custom board view, using client-side columns (like progress and formula columns) that provide key data for the Idea Cards view. (This does mean that users will need to be Pro level or higher to use all CRO Flow features.)
We're proud that we were able to take a rough sketch of Idea Cards and turn them into a really unique and exciting way for monday users to visualize their data. Just like monday.com itself, our Idea Cards are a treat for the eye and help teams work together more effectively remotely.
CRO Flow is a powerful SaaS-level solution built to take advantage of the best of monday.com, and we can't wait to release it to other Conversion Rate Optimization teams and see how it grows.
What we learned
Dark mode is not nearly as easy as we first thought! We originally assumed that dark mode would be a fairly quick change once the main light mode was done. But it took a lot of back and forth to get a dark mode version that's easy on the eye and beautiful. Be sure to take a look at the Idea cards in dark mode.
What's next for CRO Flow
We have multi-language features ready to go once the API supports letting us know the user profile language preferences.
Future features planned include deeper connections between the boards once we can build custom column types and trigger actions that way, plus API integrations with popular CRO A/B testing tools like VWO, Convert.com and more.
We have a public roadmap here:

As your team gets bigger, tracking tasks and progress is getting more and more challanging.
as google analytics to google, or mixpanel, multiboard-analytics is to Monday! 📈
What it does
MBA is an analytics tool which can track event and changes on every board, groups or items and helps you generate an insightful reports on many of the business questions you might have.
How I built it
The tool is built on a set of web technologies such as React, Mobx, Typescript, Graphql, and many more.
Challenges I ran into
One of the main core challenges in building the tool was the fact that Monday didn't have an open-source library for its components, and it was left to each developer to implement his own version or use a generic style system as bootstrap or material-ui.
For that reason, I've created an open-source repo for a react implementation so other developers could use it as well.
you can find a demo and its source in the links below

What's next for Multi-Board Analytics
It is my hope to launch MBA on Monday's market place as soon as it is open to the broad audience.

Inspiration
It is meant to address a pain point I experienced while working as an interior architect. In course of doing the interior (design and build) for a client the workflow would involve developing a design, preparing a bill of quantities and distributing the quantities to different vendors (based on their specialties) to source the material or services. eg: supplying furniture, designing HVAC systems, supplying glass etc.
However very often the design would change in the middle of the process and the task of redistributing the updated quantities would turn into an overwhelming book-keeping effort. Vendors would often submit quotes on outdated quantities and the back and forth communication spanned across different specialties would run into long chains of emails and an overall coordination nightmare.
The task itself (of sending the updated quantities) would often be mundane and it felt like a large part of the process could be automated. Besides the benefits of ease of updates it would also minimize errors in the process. The format was also so standard that the same templates were used across different projects.
What it does
It's a platform to coordinate the bidding process on a list of required materials and/or services. Projects owners can create a list of items that needs to be sourced for a project and invite vendors to bid on them by sharing a link. The link allows vendors to submit bids on the items and update with changes if necessary. Instead of a stream of email back and forth with attachments the participants can view the most up-to-date versions of the item lists and corresponding bids on the application.
As the project requirements change they can update the list in one location and the updates would be rolled out to interested vendors who can then update their bids. The application smartly tracks the changes in the the requirements and highlights the updates to be easily viewed by the project owners and bidders. The dashboard view allows the owners to view bids received and helps them compare and analyse them to make sure they get the best deal.
How I built it
The application is a Monday app with item lists being created from Monday boards. It reads and curates the data in a format conducive to track changes in the item list as the project progresses. The lists can be publicly shared to vendors who can bid on the item lists without necessarily needing a Monday account. The information submitted by bidders is collated and presented in a concise dashboard within the Monday board for the project owner. The app also meaningfully tracks the bids for the versions of the item list for which it was submitted and it can notify the relevant participants if any updates are needed.
The app is built as a nodejs web project with the UI based on a vue frontend. MongoDB is used as the database with the front and backend connected via an express server.
Challenges I ran into
The scheme required for meaningfully tracking changes as the item list changes turned out to be a interesting challenge. The final outcome turned out to be pretty good after lots of trials and errors. It is able to track the changed parts in a very neat way so less time can be spent in trying to spot the differences between different versions.
The overall UI was also a very challenging part. There's a lot of information coming from different sources into the dashboard.
One part of my project would have worked a lot better if a Monday template could be shipped with an app. But I'm keen to pitch the template and see if it could be a part of the standard templates offered. The bidding process and format is pretty generic and I'm sure it would be useful across a lot of practices/workflows.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The problem I'm seeking to address has been a particularly sore pain point in the entire workflow. I am happy to have been able to build a system which I think can meaningfully address the problem. As mentioned earlier it's doing a great job to tracking changes which I think is very useful when running on tight deadlines.
What I learned
I had to setup multiple authentication systems to manage separate access for different kinds of users. That was a new challenge for me in terms of developing web apps.
What's next for BidFriday
My experience with the problem has been from an architecture design point of view. However I feel the workflow is common across a lot of practices. The process described could be used to procure anything - from office stationery to hospital supplies. I would love to gather feedback from others who may use the app and improve to make it fit their workflows.

We're
100 Shapes
and we're on a mission to energise work, for everyone. For the past eight years, we have been creating tools, products and features for companies such as BBC, ITV, Facebook and Burberry that solve common workplace problems: making work more enjoyable.
We are now on a new path; creating our own products that give people the tools to be their best at work. We know that people work in different ways, so we need to tailor the experience for each individual.
That’s where Strengths come in; they are our unique skills which can be applied to different situations to help us get things done - making work more joyful. In order to discover your personal strengths, we needed to find a way to encourage the daily, weekly, monthly practice of reflecting on what is working and what isn’t. The discovery is about recognising when individuals are at their best; acknowledging what strengths are at play, and then finding opportunities to use those strengths more.
We want to give people the tools to be more aware of themselves; how they can grow, celebrate successes and have meaningful conversations with their team. And there is no better place to do this than where employees are working - in the middle of their workflow on monday.com.
What it does
We added three new features to monday.com:
1. Reflection View
While a monday.com user is working through items in their workflow, Optino allows them to reflect and track how their work is making them feel - choosing from:
Energised
Neutral
Drained.
The practice of asking how energised someone feels is crucial to discovering personal strengths; energy is about what you find motivating, what you enjoy doing, and what gets you out of bed in the morning. We’re giving users the opportunity to discover, track and learn from what motivates them and what does not.
2. One-to-one View
One-to-ones are the most powerful tools that teams have to affect performance, to establish trust and to build strong relationships. From our research, teams are unprepared, ill-equipped or simply in the dark about how to capitalise on this time. We wanted to give managers, team leaders and employees the structure to be able to run effective one-to-ones as well as facilitating a conversation around Strengths. Optino embeds this preparation inside monday.com and displays it alongside the employee’s items and private notes to ensure their discussion stays focused on the work as well as offering opportunities to develop their strengths, share feedback and set goals together.
3. Approach Cards
We wanted to encourage employees to view their items ahead differently, in a way that played to their strengths, that energised them - so we created Approaches. The approaches are surfaced in a Board View prompting individuals to start seeing their work differently. Compounded over time, the Approaches will accelerate individuals toward better, more positive work habits, and will change the way teams communicate, work together and achieve their goals - while remaining energised.
How we built it
To kick-off, we ran a two-day workshop with our team of designers, developers and employee experience executives to decide where best to introduce the benefits of strengths to monday.com. After a few rounds of iteration, we pitched our idea to our workplace, positive psychologist who helped us to refine the concept.
Our designers then began wireframing and prototyping the user flows within Figma: starting with stylising the wireframed elements using Mondays Design System as our single source of truth.
Meanwhile, our development team began by studying the example projects on monday’s Github. There was the ‘Quickstart Project’ as well as Dipro’s collection of repositories. They helped the development team understand how to integrate with Monday’s API and respond to events like filtering and Context.
We organised our codebase as a monorepo with our API app living alongside the Monday app.
We published a custom TailwindCSS for our version of Monday’s Design System too, this was also a separate project within the repository.
The docs were helpful and it was easy to get up to speed quickly. To get the hang of things we built the background settings app, like everyone else. From there, we kept adding features.
React.js is our go-to framework so we started with create-react-app, but we switched to Gatsby.js for its pre-caching, PWA features that way, we’d get a faster app.
We used Framer-motion to build some transition effects and loading animations.
Given London’s COVID-19 lockdown, it was important to keep in touch with the team and share progress. We regularly created loom videos as we went, and developed all components with Storybooks to make it easier for remote reviews.
While the development team finalised the app and squished the bugs that popped-up through user testing, the design team were busy coming-up with a name (hence the devpost url being wrong), brand, logo and website for the product.
A bunch of features got developed, but got pushed further down the line as we opened up comms with the Monday team and new priorities came to light.
Speedbumps and frustrations
It was really easy to follow the monday.com design system but would have been great to have a Figma or Sketch file to begin with, this would have saved time setting up components.
Overall, the build was smooth, but Ngrok was a bit slow for development as we have a free subscription, so we often hit the bandwidth limit and had to restart the server. We fixed this by “publishing” a URL of localhost – it seemed to work completely fine. That way, we also got the benefits of live-reload and debugging.
From a backend point-of-view, we struggled with Auth for a while. We were treating the result of
monday.getSessionToken
as an OAuth token before we got to the bottom of understanding that it wasn’t. Monday’s
What's next for Optino
Whilst the hackathon gave us a solid deadline to work towards, it meant features we wanted to design and build had to be moved into our backlog. Once the hack is over we will assess any feedback from monday, further test the MVP with users and re-prioritise features and tasks.
Some features in the backlog are:
Personalised strengths profiles
As an employee-experience focused agency, we regularly send Strengths surveys to our team. This helps us understand which approaches we find energising and which we find draining. Soon, we plan to Include a similar survey in Optino that allow us to tailor the approach advice for each individual user.
Assigning better team
Once we understand where an employee's strengths lie, whether through our survey or via a One-to-ones, we’re able to give guidance on which members of a team would be best suited to a particular item or task. For example:
Who would enjoy this the most?
Who is most effective at this?
Who wants to practice this?
Which team members compliment each other well?
Widgets
Giving managers an overview of their teams energy levels at a glance is something that would transform how managers interact and check-in with their team. Using mondays widgets we can surface information such as:
Overall team energy breakdown
Project team energy breakdown
Approaches being used and their effectiveness
Drained team members who might need a quick check-in
Most selected approach
Highest / lowest energised team member
Total energised / drained items completed
Quick tips - nudge drained employees in the right direction
One-to-one Sharing
With some minor privacy adjustments we could facilitate, and document, One-to-ones directly within monday. Either via Google doc integration or via Monday’s forms feature, it would simplify the process for users and make for a better sharing experience between manager and employees.
Overall we really enjoyed putting together Optino for this hack, the deadline helped keep us on track and it has set us on the path for our new company strategy.

We use an ERP to manage our daily jobs, but the ERP is very poor to present job flows.
Monday.com
can visualize job flows clearly and let users share information easiliy.
In addition, Monday has awesome integration and automation functions to make daily routine jobs easier and more efficient.
Monday.com allows users to upload Excel file to initiate Board.
However, users have to upload new data on their existing board manually.
In our use case, it is a serious bottleneck.
Sometimes, we have to upload a few dozens jobs in a day.
The intense manual data entry task is not only to waste our colleagues' productive time but also cause data integrity problem which might induce serious problems.
This application can take Excel file and update items via Monday GraphQL API.
User can specify id on Monday board data and local Excel data, so this app choose new data from Excel file and upload them.
This app let our colleagues release from their tedious data entry tasks and provides error free data entry services.
What it does
Data Uploader takes local Excel file and update Monday board.
This application compares the local data and the data on the Monday board, and if the program detects difference, add new items or update the existing in the Monday board.
This application can update the following columns: name, text, number, date, long-text, and label.
How I built it
I build it by React.js
Challenges I ran into
Generate GraphQL query according to the data type.
Transform Excel/CSV Data format into JavaScript Data format.
Come up with the data structure to compare two data set.
Asynchronous function calls
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Generate configuration data from Configuration variables.
What I learned
JavaScript, mainly how to use Promise Object and functional programming paradigm
React.js
What's next for Data Uploader
Prevent the users from making the wrong configuration file.
Almost all errors are generated because of the incorrect configuration file or the wrong data in the local data set, such as number column having text and label column having non-existing label.
Add GUI configuration file generator to prevent typo.
Add more user friendly error handling method, such as before generating query, scan each local column data and warning the potential problem to users.
Add history mode: reverse the uploading event.

Inspiration
I've been a monday.com user for a few years now and use it quite a bit for roadmap planning, task management, team comms, and so much more! I wanted to bridge the gap of what I've been working on in conversational AI and accessibility over the last few years with the same productivity tools I use to work on that technology.
This led me to a few key points:
Build something for everyone
Build something to use anywhere
Build something actually useful
Build something production ready
Teach people along the way
With all of that together, I set out on building the Monday Manager - a voice and conversational assistant that lets you interact with your Monday boards, items, and more!
What it does
Monday Manager lets you interact with your monday.com account in an entirely new way - with your voice!
It's currently available as an Alexa Skill and a Google Action, but with more platforms to come. To get started simply:
Enable the Skill/Action
(Once the skill is in the skill store), say "Alexa, enable Monday Manager" or find it in the skill store from the Alexa mobile app. Note: at the point of this project submission, the Alexa skill is still in review and not publicly available.
On google say "Hey Google, talk to Monday Manager", or use
this link to the actions directory
Link your Amazon/Google account to your monday.com account
On Alexa, go to the Alexa app, then to the Monday Manager skill and select "settings" to link your account. Then sign in with your Monday account and give the Monday Manager permission to access your boards:
On Google, just say "Talk to Monday Manager" and the sign-in process will start right away.
Once you've link your account, you're good to go and no longer need to sign in.
Note: you need at least "editor" permissions within your Monday team to use the app
Start talking to the Monday Manager and interacting with your boards
You can ask all sorts of questions including major features like:
Iterating through your boards
Iterating through each item
Getting board details
Adding new items directly into groups
Then you can immediately see the result in your monday boards:
There are also a number of experimental features shown in the video which only work for certain users such as:
Pushing task dates in bulk
Getting aggregated item information that you are assigned to
As the system gets smarter, these features will start to be enabled for all users. You can read more about it in the "Challenges I ran into" section.
How I built it
First off, most of the app has been
built live on my stream
as a means to help teach developers how to implement similar functionality along the way.
In terms of high-level structure, it basically looks like this:
The underlying flow is basically:
User speaks to their device
Device sends request to assistant service
Assistant service sends request to the underlying Voicify app
Voicify sends webhook requests to the Monday Manager API (when applicable)
Monday Manager API talks directly to the Monday GraphQL API
Monday Manager API handles business logic for how to turn data into responses
Voicify responds to assistant service with the output after mapping it to the proper output
Device speaks and displays the result
In terms of the roles:
The assistant platforms (the actual skill/action manifest) handle
:
Initial NLU
Store listings
Managing endpoint to Voicify
Voicify handles
:
Secondary NLU
Conversation state
Conversation flow
Integrations
Response structures
Configurations
Cross-platform deployments
Basically we create conversation items to handle each turn and setup variables that the wehbook can manage filling such as:
The Monday Manager API handles
:
Mapping input and conversation state from the request
Communication to the Monday API
Mapping Monday data to the response structure Voicify expects
The Monday Manager API was built using C# 8 and asp.net core hosted in a linux app service in Azure. Within the project, there's a basic onion design pattern implementation to separate HTTP logic, business logic, and data access logic.
This enables really slim and easy to update and build business logic. For example, the core of letting Voicify get access to the user's current board in context looks like this:
public async Task<GeneralFulfillmentResponse> GetCurrentBoard(GeneralWebhookFulfillmentRequest request)
{
try
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(request.OriginalRequest.AccessToken))
return Unauthorized();
var currentBoard = await GetCurrentBoardFromRequest(request);
if (currentBoard == null)
return Error();
return new GeneralFulfillmentResponse
{
Data = new ContentFulfillmentWebhookData
{
Content = BuildBoardResponse(request.Response.Content, currentBoard),
AdditionalSessionAttributes = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{ SessionAttributes.CurrentBoardSessionAttribute, currentBoard }
}
}
};
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
return Error();
}
}
and the
GetCurrentBoardFromRequest
method basically checks to see if we already have it in session context, or it goes and gets it from the monday API:
private async Task<Board[]> GetBoardsFromRequest(GeneralWebhookFulfillmentRequest request)
{
(request.OriginalRequest.SessionAttributes ?? new Dictionary<string, object>()).TryGetValue(SessionAttributes.BoardsSessionAttribute, out var boardsObj);
if (boardsObj != null)
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Board[]>(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(boardsObj));
var boardsResult = await _mondayDataProvider.GetAllBoards(request.OriginalRequest.AccessToken);
return boardsResult?.Data;
}
private async Task<Board> GetCurrentBoardFromRequest(GeneralWebhookFulfillmentRequest request)
{
(request.OriginalRequest.SessionAttributes ?? new Dictionary<string, object>()).TryGetValue(SessionAttributes.CurrentBoardSessionAttribute, out var boardObj);
if (boardObj != null)
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Board>(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(boardObj));
var boards = await GetBoardsFromRequest(request);
return boards?.FirstOrDefault();
}
This layering of abstractions and separation of concerns lets us create brand new features without having to even write code at times, but still allows us to easily implement entirely new sets of logic and functionality if required.
For example, if we wanted to add the ability for the user to say "who am I", and get a response back about their Monday username, it's as simple as:
Creating a conversation item like this:
Attach webhook to it:
And then it just works!
One last note is that the entire thing works by having the user link their account to Amazon and Google. This is done by a standard practice called "Account Linking" which just requires some OAuth 2.0 auth code grant flow configuration. Then the user's access token is sent with each request to Voicify. Voicify then sends it to the webhook, which then uses it in the Monday requests.
Here's the general account linking flow according to Alexa:
Challenges I ran into
The biggest technical hurdle (which I'm working through now) is handling the fact that columns are
entirely
customizable. So, adding features that use those values in bulk require some serious assumptions.
For example, something like "What items of mine are due tomorrow?". Well, we can most certainly handle understanding the goal of that statement, but determining which column(s) actually dictate the "mine" and "tomorrow" part is tricky. Currently, the features that use those work exclusively with some of my board structures to safely handle the assumptions, but my goal is to essentially guess at which column(s) are best for those decisions, and if we aren't sure, just ask the user and remember it for next time.
The other challenge I ran into was filming my fun sample scenarios while my dog was following me around and panting 😂 Hopefully the editing helped there a bit.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
There are a few key things that I am super proud of:
Successfully building something that functions end to end
Getting the Action approved by Google on the first try!
Being able to actually teach people along the way while we were building it
All-in-all, it was unbelievably satisfying to actually use the thing for my real day job. Especially adding items to groups with a single command - it immediately showed it's usefulness.
What's next for Monday Manager
Tons of stuff! This was not just a hackathon for me, but instead the building of a real product. That's why I submitted it to Alexa and Google for public certification and continue to use it myself everyday!
The biggest next items are:
More contextual features for users
Access more parts of the users data like activity, updates, dashboards, etc.
Learning and managing user preferences and automating that process based off how they interact
Adding more channels like Bixby, chat bots in MS Teams, Slack, etc.
Gathering real end-user feedback and iterating on the functionality as we go
Conclusion
I hope you like the Monday Manager Voice Assistant - it meant a lot to me to be able to find something to build that is meaningful, useful, educational, and accessible to more people while also helping with my own productivity. I'm excited to see the future of the product and continue to build it out myself.

Inspiration
Not everyone logs into task management tools on a daily basis. Developers do as they need to work on their tasks/tickets and log their work. But the managers higher up in the ladder tend not to log in as often. However, they still want to be kept in loop of how work is progressing. Screenful can provide that higher level overview delivered via a web browser, a mobile app, email or a chat tool such as Slack.
What it does
Screenful imports data from Monday.com and presents it in a visual interactive dashboards, charts and reports which can be easily shared with your colleagues.
How I built it
We built it using node.js, vue.js and quite a heavily customised set of charts.js charts
Challenges I ran into
Data analytics is a challenging domain overall as you deal with lots of data. Integrating with a new API brings new challenges. How fast can this API work and is it enough for our needs? Are we using this API the right way or are there some tricks we don't know? How is this platform evolving in the future? Those are some of the questions that came up.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We managed to build an easy to use reporting tool that helps you to understand how your team or organisation gets work done.
What I learned
It always takes longer than expected to bring a new product to the market. Not really a new insight but holds true again...
What's next for Screenful Reports
We'll be adding more layout options so you can e.g. create reports which has multiple columns in a section. We'll be adding more integrations options and more flexible report editor. Plenty of new stuff coming up!

Cloud Concept was looking for a solution which allows the monday.com users to generate documents and templates from board data. The need for using such functionality was discussed many times during webinars and meetings. Since there was no easy to use option available Cloud Concept decided to develop a such application.
What it does
DocuGen allows monday.com user to create a google doc using their own template and data from monday.com
How we built it
We integrated Monday APIs using Monday-SDK with Google APIs to establish a coherent flow of information from Monday boards to google documents. It required an understanding of both Monday and Google APIs and how the structured data from Monday could be used to create beautiful documents on Google Docs.
Monday's GraphQL API made it extremely easy to understand the data structure and simplify our query requests to ensure we're only pulling the data we require for final document generation process.
Challenges we ran into
Generating documents based on specific items only.
Filtering out specific columns in the final document.
Filtering out groups in the final document.
Adding styles to the final document.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
One-click document generation from Monday board to Google Docs
Filters and styling customizability for document generation based on Monday data
What we learned
Monday's new GraphQL API structure, document structure, ability to manipulate and visualize data, etc.
What's next for DocuGen
Extending the new functionalities for DocuGen users.

What it does
Wireframes lets you quickly create prototypes and mockups using Monday.com. This will give Monday.com users a powerful tool when trying to rapidly design their next project.
How I built it
I was able to use React and Monday.com to create Wireframes. I was also able to utilize notification and storage libraries provided by Monday.com
Challenges I ran into and what I learned
This was the first time I really used React on a project and also my first exposure with Monday.com. I was able to learn a lot during this project.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm happy that I challenged myself to create something very complex on Monday.com.
What's next for Wireframes
I want to add more Elements and further improve the user experience. I really believe this could benefit a lot of users especially with the rise in remote work and importance in collaboration.

Inspiration
I was inspired to solve a multitude of problems for different Monday.com users and just build a system that allowed for new problems to be solved over time.
What it does
It allows you view aggregated activity logs, to query for business intelligence (currently only supports a "who is" query) and allows you to chat internally with other Monday.com users.
How I built it
I used a bunch of technologies I'm comfortable with (Next.js, GraphQL, Sass, Sequelize, etc.) and tried to build things I haven't. Chat and search have been two things I've been wanting to explore for the longest, so I tried to begin to tackle those problems areas in this hackathon.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Built a Monday.com application
Built an MVP chat (works on localhost)
Built a context-driven search

Wit.ai is the only external service dependency at the moment. It was used in order to speed up development, and it offers a generous 60 queries per minute per application. This limit may prove to be a bottleneck in the future, so I'd work to transition to an internal natural language processing solution, or a solution that can enable greater scale at an affordable price.

Careers Pages for Monday.com
Inspiration
Whilst looking for an app to build I was struck by something a Monday customer said to me: "I'd be happy if I never had to leave the Monday.com window".
This, the new Monday App Framework and the vision for Monday as a Work OS leads me to believe that maybe you
could
do most tasks without ever leaving Monday.
I looked at the provided starter templates and decided to expand on the Job Recruitment board under the HR section. Perhaps I could find a way for HR staff to publish jobs to the web without having to leave Monday? They'd have one fewer window open, and this part of their hiring workflow could remain within Monday.
What it does
CareersPages provides a dashboard widget that allows you to create a company profile and then an entry for each job you have on offer. These are published to a webpage that an HR employee can then share.
How I built it
I build the app using Laravel / PHP for the backend and VueJS / Tailwind CSS for the frontend. The app is hosted on Lambda and I'm using the Serverless Framework for the infrastructure code and deployment steps. I've used Github Actions to setup a CI/CD pipeline. The Laravel app is backed by a MySql database on RDS. The app is sitting behind Cloudfront, with the dynamic requests going through to Lambda via API Gateway, and the static assets cached and backed by S3.
Architectural next steps for me would be to put the Lambdas behind a VPC for more security and switch to using DynamoDB instead MySQL as it's a better fit for an app running in Lambda (although I do have experience scaling with RDS). I'd also ideally like a proxy in front of the application so that I could offer custom domains as a feature to customers - this isn't easy in a sustainable way using CloudFront.
There's a copy of the code here:
https://github.com/Modern-Work-Apps/careerspages-public
Challenges I ran into
I intended to build out automatically creating a candidates board and accepting submissions directly to that board, but I ran out of time to get that done.
I had wanted to use Monday board items to represent the published jobs, but I felt that the 2000 character limit on the long text field might not have been enough for the average job description so I decided to have the user manage the list in the widget itself.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I built this all myself in a fairly short timeframe. It's also the first time I've deployed Laravel into AWS Lambda. A good experience, in general. I had wanted to use DynamoDB as the persistent storage because of the cost / scale advantages over plain RDS, but Laravel is very much built around SQL and I didn't have time to port things across - it's something I'd like to look at in the future.
I had some great conversations early on with users of Monday, which helped me get to grips with the meaning of the product for people beyond the technical capabilities.
What I learned
I learned a lot about the way Monday works and what it's geared up to do. Having been a product manager for apps used by operational staff in big businesses, I really do see the potential for the App Framework to be used to solve key workflow issues. It could easily become a central line-of-business app hub in much the same way Salesforce has become - I'm excited to see how the Marketplace takes off!
What's next for CareersPages for Monday
I think that there's a space for a Monday App that covers some proportion of what a blue-chip Applicant Tracking System SaaS like Workable does. That would include:
Themeable and embeddable company profile and job pages
Direct submission of applications from candidates to Monday boards
Customisable application forms
At this point I think there really would be a minimum viable product for a small HR team.
In general though, I think Monday as a Work OS is a great solution and I'm really eager to hear from Monday customers with specific problems to solve. I've got a Monday form here

On Average, corporate teams order food for their employees once every two weeks. Large scale food ordering for such corporate teams is very chaotic and does not take into account everyone’s opinion. No easy way exists to decide which restaurant to order from, or eat at. The monday.com platform is used by more than 100,000 such teams. We wanted to create an efficient solution for this issue and integrate it with the monday.com platform.
What it does
LunchDay is a monday.com app that enables corporate teams to decide which restaurant to eat at, or order from, based on our novel voting algorithm. The team manager first starts a poll, specifying the budget per person, and the time limit of the poll. All the employees in the team are notified of this poll. Our app then gives cuisine suggestions to each employee, which they can vote on. This poll can be tracked live by the manager. After the poll ends. Our algorithm compiles this data and provides restaurant suggestions to the poll manager, based on the most popular cuisine, and the budget. Our interface is super simple and easy to use, and we believe that it can improve the efficiency of the current system by a large magnitude.
How we built it
React for the front-end application.
Monday Apps Platform.
Python Flask for back-end testing.
Monday.com API.
Azure serverless functions for endpoints.
Google Places API for restaurant recommendations.
Ngrok for testing.

For all its amazing achievements in past decades, Information Technology had yet to solve a problem that all of us face every day: quickly and easily finding the information we need. Whether we’re looking for the latest version of the company travel policy, or asking a more technical question like “How many members can I invite in my Monday account?”, we never seem to be able to get the correct answer right away. Sometimes, we never get it at all!
Not only are these issues frustrating for users, they’re also responsible for major productivity losses. According to an IDC study, the cost of inefficient search is $5,700 per employee per year: for a 1,000-employee company, $5.7 million evaporate every year, not counting the liability and compliance risks imposed by low accuracy search. Factor in customer facing documentation and further untold millions are lost due to frustrated customers not being able to find what they need to get the job done with the product.
This problem has several causes. First, most enterprise data is unstructured, making it difficult to pinpoint the information you need. Second, data is often spread across silos, specialized knowledge bases and stored in heterogeneous backends: network shares, relational databases, 3rd party applications, one-off vendors and more. Lastly, keyword-based search systems require figuring out the right combination of keywords, and usually return a large number of hits, most of them irrelevant to our query.
Taking note of these pain points, we decided to help Monday users build the search capabilities that they deserve.
What it does
With just a few clicks, Monday QnA enables users and customers to index structured and unstructured data stored in different backends, such as file systems, applications, Intranet, and relational databases as long as their link is accessible and present in Monday.com. Monday QnA is optimized to understand complex language across domains and can auto-train itself based on the content and documents it encounters. This multi-domain expertise allows Monday QnA to find more accurate answers. In addition, it allows for explicit fine-tuning of the relevance of results, using criteria such as authoritative data sources or document freshness.
Even when a query matches a large number of documents, Monday QnA can come up with a suggested high confidence answer to present to the user and point specifically to a highlighted word or line in the supporting document. For more factoid type questions (who, when) it can go one step further by returning the exact answer from the document, instead of just returning the document itself. This is enabled by QnA being able to understand context and extract relationships within the content.

Thanks to monday.com's API, users receive built-in and email notifications for assigned tasks instantaneously.
Inspiration
Being able to visualize the steps needed to accomplish an end goal improves clarity on what needs to be done. We noticed that while monday.com does have some visualization tools, it was missing a tool where one could create a workflow diagram and add tasks to a board through it. Thus, we were inspired to create our workflow diagram app,
WRKFLW
.
What it does
WRKFLW
is an app that allows individuals to create workflow diagrams within monday.com and assign tasks to individuals through the app. It is an improved take on traditional workflow diagrams as the diagram is now interactive, allowing users to assign tasks to teammate(s) who will then be notified on monday.com of the task they were assigned. This app revolutionizes traditional workflow diagrams through its interactivity and improves team collaboration by providing a visual representation of the steps a team must take to reach their end goals.
How we built it
The front end of the app was programmed in JavaScript using React. When a workflow diagram is created, each aspect of the diagram (e.g. shapes, arrows, text) are saved as a JSON object which stores the x and y coordinates, size, color, and more. An entire graph is saved as a document in MongoDB which contains all JSON objects for that graph, thus a graph can be saved and accessed later. When one teammate is saving a diagram, the server is notified, which thereby updates the graph for all teammates viewing the diagram with the changes to promote collaboration. Teams can assign tasks to individuals for each workflow diagram node. When right clicking on a node, it presents the option to delete, edit, change wrapping, as well as manage tasks. Using the monday query API, a list of all individuals in a team is retrieved and the team has the option to assign teammates to new tasks that they create. When a task is assigned to teammate(s), a monday mutation API call is made to send them a notification that they were assigned a task.
Challenges we ran into
Saving graphs to access and edit later proved to be a challenge. As the monday storage API was still in beta stages, we realized that it may not be the most efficient way to store graphs. Thus, we archived our code that uses the monday storage API and opted to use mongoDB for the time being.
There were difficulties deploying to Heroku due to some code not being compatible with the way Heroku deploys projects. As a result, this code needed to be modified and reconfigured.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Being able to work together as a team and developing a well functioning app in a fully remote environment is an accomplishment that illustrated that it's possible to work together productively despite COVID-19.
Resolving any problems together as a team.
Working together to learn new technologies in order to write efficient, clean code.
What we learned
The inner workings of monday.com’s interface and how it promotes team collaboration.
The challenges that arise when working as a team with new APIs.
The challenges of the development process as a whole and how issues are easier to resolve through team collaboration.
The necessity to organize the steps needed to accomplish our product vision and delegate team assignments to reach our goals.
What's next for
WRKFLW
As monday's storage API continues to improve and move out of the beta stage, we would like to move our storage for

How we built it
We utilized Google translation services for sending our api requests to, built a custom backend to handle those requests, and pass those requests through our app
Challenges we ran into
Learning the Monday app API setup was a bit tricky at first, but the documentation and video tutorials were really helpful. Also, settling on a service for the translation was a bit tricky, but Google proved to be the better choice for ease-of-use and future cost (were this app to be fully adopted by teams in production). Additionally, the service provides a fair degree of accuracy in the translations, and is constantly improving
Accomplishments that we're proud of

10,382 | https://devpost.com/software/factibly-read-past-the-headline-manage-real-news | Our Inspiration: Managing the Fast Influx of News Reports & Media Around the World, Both Technical & Non-Technical with Monday.com
We live in an era that has made it possible to spread information at such a high rate that is almost instantaneous. This drastic improvement in technology in recent decades has given almost everyone access to a vast amount of information. Although this is beneficial in many ways, such as people being able to voice their issue and problems and learning about the world around us, the information available is affected by false claims and fake news which often strike hardest at the non-tech-savvy institutions that speak to our history, and the organizations working hard to just make the world a better place. The dangers of widespread misinformation among social media and networks can be easily seen during the current pandemic. For example, Ofcom has found that almost half of UK online adults came across fake news about coronavirus at the beginning of April. Misinformation among our current situation can put peoples’ lives at risk while severely damaging the reputation of various communities and organizations.
Aside from the risks caused by misinformation about COVID-19, many political issues have also been negatively affected by fake news, which strikes at the core of many organizations and institutions who often rely on political support to engage their physical and online initiatives. News and media continue to increasingly polarize situations to increase the disparity between various groups with every major event, revolution, or social-impact movement.
We need to provide a platform for the truth to spread and a way to fight the destructive effects of misinformation. This problem is global, and so we must think big.
Problems with current solutions
Academic Issues:
Current fake news detectors or rating agencies make use of a few academic scholars with special expertise in their respective areas of study. The high volume of misinformation cannot be processed by these to give a rating. Although you may get a deep analysis of an article or post on social media, you won't have this review done quickly, it won't appeal to the average person, and this method is limited by the physical hours fact-checkers can work.
Cultural & Race-Based Disparities:
The fact is that most fact-checking sites are English-language based only. That means primarily U.S., Canada, and the U.K. based, with support only for those English-speaking communities. People who suffer from the wrath of misinformation, whether it be false health advice, targeted propaganda, or plain frauds often do so in countries where English is not spoken. Therefore, they lack the privilege of being able to check the validity of their own media in real-time.
How Monday.com Can Help Us Be The Change So Many Need
The workflow application we have created for our website allows us to visualize the fact-check analytics of news and articles. Factibly offers our users the ability to add new articles and posts to our database; this creates a requirement to look out for and fix any issues, problems or anomalies that could arise. We must make sure that the ratings and creation of articles follow our terms of service to ensure reliability and credibility worldwide.
Using the app built with Monday.com we are able to better organize the ratings and analytics of articles in our database so that our non-technical teams are also able to understand and assimilate the data. Any member of the Factibly team will be able to use our app created using Monday.com to get pertinent information such as ID's of the articles the and number of ratings, so they can find, flag and fix problems.
Visualizing the growth and reporting of news in a reliable manner is a significant part of our mission. Using this app we will be able to understand the trends in the different articles and media, enabling a higher growth rate of fact-checking and usage of Factibly all over the world.

Alongside the public, organizations will also be able to use this platform to share their voices to educate everyone, and above all, maintain and strengthen their online image and awareness.
The process starts when the users want to find a rating through the truth.
Users have a piece of media they want to check a rating for its reliability or contribute themselves with a rating.
They go to our site and intuitively paste their link into our engine, which is the most prominent feature on our homepage.
If prior crowd-sourced ratings exist, the user immediately sees our curated and published ratings for that media, based on our users' input and proof as shown below.
In the ratings viewing the page, we offer the following pertinent information.
Our published average user ratings.
Information regarding the source such as publisher, type of source, title, and a link to the source itself.
The top three countries where the majority of the ratings have been collected from.
Ability to share and save this source.
Your rating if having given any, ratings from other users showing the two most voted ratings at the alongside our published rating.
A rating trend timeline to let the user know how the rating for this specific source has changed over time.
We prompt the user, if they have the aptitude, to rate the media as well, as long as they have insight that may work in support of the media, or equally, against its truth-fullness, we respect their voice and let them share it. We process their queries and build and internal score we wish to publish.
The user will be able to click the "RATE THIS SOURCE" button to contribute the knowledge they have.
The rating dialogue asks the user the following key questions to determine the truthfulness of this source:
Does this source contain any false claims? If so, how many?
How knowledgeable is the author on the topic of this source?
How strongly did the author support their claims with evidence?
The users can answer these questions with the star rating, each star describing a different level to the answer. They can also justify their ratings in the text box below to help other users understand the rating and increase credibility.
Once our confidence metrics are met, we update a newly published rating for the media We will constantly adapt to make use of the effort and insight of the user-base to republish.
We alert any watchers, or users who gave ratings of newly published updates by us, so they are constantly in the know, and can rely on being kept in the light instead of the dark, on the news, regardless of where they may come from.
We notify users on trending topics, changes to the sources they have rated or updated them on any upvotes or downvotes to their rating.
We provide organizations with insight, based on alerts happening around the world related to fake news detection or negative sentiments and classified to their names to show their brand is recognized by users across the world, helping them improve and adapt.
The Overall Process Flow on Our Site
Sub-Flow 1: User Entry to the Site
Sub-Flow 2: Key Actions Taken to Rate or Upvote/Downvote Media
Sub-Flow 3: Providing Support to Help Grow Our Platform
We have used and hope to use various APIs offered by AWS to create and optimize our platform.
API Management: API Gateway
Storage Management: AWS S3
Keyword Searches: AWS Elastic Search
Database SQL Management: Amazon RDS for SQL Server
Inappropriate Image/Content Recognizer: Amazon Rekognition
Amazon CloudFront
These services allow us to accomplish various tasks to make our platform ready to be released to the public all over the world.
Future of Factibly.com Integrated with Monday.com
As the amount of information online increases, it becomes exponentially difficult to fact them all. We hope to use the prizes to help our platform develop a reach a wide range of audience. As something that is so under-implemented among the tech and news society today, this concept has the potential to strike rapid growth in the rating space for media, and help mitigate the issues caused by fake news, by empowering the individual user to check their media easily. Our goal is to use the platform to give people a chance to raise their voice against fake news and share their knowledge with the rest of the world. Alongside the development of the Factibly website, the workflow app created using Monday.com also allows us to ensure credible and reliable information is being shared using the platform. We are thankful for this opportunity to create this platform which helps people find misinformation among social media and news networks.

Viewing bookmarks in split view on a board
Inspiration
I use Monday a TON at my job! It is the central point for communication between all teams at my company. My role as a Product Manager relies on the effective use of Monday to clearly communicate to different teams about many different types of projects and processes. However, a problem for me has been where to prominently show important links and resources on a given board.
For Example:
Our product team manages a very important Monday board for our company roadmap. Probably 50+ people have this board bookmarked and look at it like once or twice per week (our roadmap can change quickly). Each group on the board shows a quarter of the year with pulses for what we will be doing in that quarter. We want to clearly display some high-level resources/links that are not specific to a pulse but general to the entire board - examples include a link to our KPI dashboards in Heap and another in Periscope, a link to our Confluence page describing our product process, and even links to other Monday locations such as one form for new project requests and a different form for design requests. Currently, we can put this info in the description box, but frankly, no one looks there since it is pretty small compared to what else is on the page and a single long URL copied into it takes up a lot of room. This is why I wanted to make a more prominent display for important links/bookmarks that every user will clearly notice at the top of a board.
I did a bit of "user research" on this too, and other teams said they would immediately use it. Our COO was specifically excited since he loves our data/KPI tools but they are not on Monday and wants a faster way to access them.
What it does
"Bookmarks for Boards" is an app focused on boards (I am planning to add it to Dashboards, but there is something similar there already). Users can add links to it that will display cleaning on the split view of a board at the top of the page. Each bookmark can have a title, subtitle, URL and will automatically grab the site's favicon for a fresh look.
How I built it
This is my first react app! AND this is my first web app of any sort! I am not a developer but took some courses in college and work closely with developers in my day job. I also love Monday. Naturally, this felt like a great way to add to an app I love and learn to build in react.
I tried to keep my code extremely simple. I didn't add any extra libraries or save any image assets or similar. I thought simplicity was important since my app itself is fairly simple and shouldn't slow down the rest of the board view which is the key reason you are visiting the page.
I also focused on matching the Monday UI. I followed the design guidelines and tried to match components that already exists elsewhere on Monday.
Challenges I ran into
Learning React was the biggest challenge. I have done a partial course in web development but not very much, so this was a lot to learn. And I probably restructured the entire app 3-4 times to clean it up. But it was really interesting and fun!
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm very proud of completing my first app and I'd say mostly making something that I know my team and others at my company will use. I was also excited to be able to match the Monday UI.
What I learned
React! Sorry this is a repeat answer but it was an important skill for me to use.
I also learned from the reverse engineering parts of Monday. I saw and learned better ways to connect CSS to elements, and abstracting pieces of components.
What's next for Bookmarks for Boards
As it is now, the app is functioning and ready for the community to use! In the future there is still a lot I can add but unfortunately ran out of time. Some features I would like to add include: a board setting to choose if you want only Owners of a board to be able to edit the bookmarks, the ability to edit bookmarks instead of deleting and then adding a new one, and error handling on the "add new bookmark" form to force proper formatting of URLs.

Leading a team is not easy. When managing larger teams it’s hard to track current up to date progress of each individual and to estimate the probable completion dates of tasks and projects against set due dates. Monday is a great tool for organising projects and teams, and gives you command over a lot of processes. We wanted to build this application layer on top of monday to give team leaders, and also team members, a data-led way to anticipate project and task delays and make sense out of the might that monday gives. We wanted to provide a way to support team leaders in having foresight about when a project may fall behind, in deciding when to reassign a task, and track how on-schedule any task/project is.
How the app works
The app acts as a feedback vector for team leaders and teams to see if users and projects are on schedule. It supports team members to stay on track by anticipating delays through forecasting on past metrics like status reports from individuals.
The app takes the past / up to date track record of individual team members and calculates their expected progress for a given time period ahead and will predict if there will be any delays. This is accomplished by using our machine learning model developed using tensorflow.
On the basis of that prediction, it will suggest the most suitable team members to support a task / that team member who is experiencing a delay, or help decide if a task should be re-assigned. We use a team overview dashboard to give team leaders and teams a way to see who has extra capacity to take on new tasks or help another team member to finish on time.
Challenges we faced
Creating a model that can give accurate output with relatively little data was an initial challenge. To solve this we created training datasets in monday boards and also created additional datasets. Working with the monday api and graphql were also new concepts for all of the team members.
What's next for Lighthouse
In the next iteration we would like to expand capabilities such as create a way for team leaders to provide direct feedback to team members at the point of the predictive dashboards. We also would like to support multiple board and project integration.
The app should in future also be able to suggest the most suitable team members to support a fellow team member based on matching skills. We are half way towards this goal in that we have partially implemented this in our codebase and we next need to fully integrate that into the app.

A key part of sprint planning is understand capacity - this widget makes it easy to see how accurate estimates were over a specified period of time, and filter by user to see how estimations compare across the team
What it does
The user can specify any number of boards and users to show a comparison between the estimated time and tracked time and see the overall trend of estimation in a period of time or for a specfic user
How I built it
Going off the example app, I built out the functionality to pull in tasks calculate the
Challenges I ran into
Getting the dates right was a little fiddly - the

was very useful in getting those correct
What I learned
The monday.com API was very well-documented so a lot of the setup was easy in terms of finding how to access certain bits of info from the boards and settings. With the nature of persisting things using the

How I built it
We built the frontend of the app using React - a really solid Javascript framework we have a lot of experience with.
Challenges I ran into
We had a lot more ideas and had to trim the app down to an initial feature set and some features took longer than expected to implement - regular development issues

10,382 | https://devpost.com/software/perflo | Inspiration
The focus on tasks and timelines in measuring projects performance can sometimes neglect the people. We wanted to include the project teams and stakeholders in the process and help increase engagement and performance of project teams!
What it does
Perflo integrates with Monday and helps project teams stay aligned through facilitating feedback loops (through slack) and displaying performance and engagement analytics to the project managers in the their Monday dashboard.
How we built it
We built the app by using JavaScript and GraphQL to combine our app, Slack and Monday to link projects together. These integrations will track user progress on Monday projects and collect qualitative survey data through Slack that can then be displayed as a Widget in a Monday dashboard. We had to do this in order to ensure that the manager was the only one who had access to this data and that the UI worked functionally.
Challenges we ran into
Struggling with documentation, working through multiple app integrations and dealing with asynchronous workflows
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Were able to make the entire idea of the app come to life by successfully making the entire workflow functional
Made the Slack bot functional and dynamic
Worked through GraphQL and asynchronous JavaScript challenges
Getting the flow of data from Monday/Perflo/Slack all to plug in and generate analytics
What we learned
Valuable debugging skills, integrating applications with each other, different AWS features like SNS and Lambda and that the process is a lot easier than you think and looks nice on paper but never takes how long you think it does. Late nights and hard work pays off.
What's next for Perflo
We are going to polish up the UI that sits in Monday and then also improve UX by using existing data in Monday as opposed to having managers do double inputs.

Inspiration
Eledo is saving time and money by automating document creation processes and we would like to empower Monday.com clients with its features too!
What it does
Eledo offers automated PDF generation from template and dynamic data. Template can be built in Eledo online template editor, everything else is prepared automatically and first automated document can be generated right after template is saved. Dynamic data are coming from Monday.com board and items. No coding required.
How I built it
I have integrated our already existing PDF generator with Monday.com
Challenges I ran into
I have been working for the first time with GraphQL, OAuth and Monday.com as well, so it's been very challenging to find all the details required and successfully integrate.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I have done integration in a week - the last week of the challenge. Otherwise I will be proud once Monday.com clients will successfully adopt my solution.
What I learned
I have learned JavaWebToken, GraphQL, OAuth, Monday.com But it's just a beginning of the real challenge, which comes with first clients from the platform and I will be helping them with their issues and questions.
What's next for Eledo
I will be continuing with integrations to other marketplaces and integration platforms. I have to finally finish Zapier integration and develop new features so Eledo will be one of those better PDF generators in the world.

Inspiration :
Monday.com is great and supports a lot of use cases, however there are a few required capabilities lacking to comprehensively fulfill some use cases. Especially with the lack of ability to send HTML formatted emails.
While monday's text based email notifications are great for internal members of the company, they do not look as good to send out to customers & clients.
There are a lot of users asking for HTML email capability in so many community posts, mentioning a few of them here -

Shout out to carolinefox with this comment which inspired me the most to take a stab at solving this problem
https://community.monday.com/t/html-with-email/465/13
(@carolinefox you are awesome !!)
What it does :
This app is a combination of an email template builder view and an email sending integration with the following features :
OAuth
Email Builder (View)
Custom Email Templates
Email Sending (Integration)
Merge Tags
Creates Updates in monday.com for email sends
Custom domain email addresses (Only after DKIM verification)
Even though the Email builder is a view which should be added to each board, it's not tied to any particular board. Email templates created on any board can be used in the integration to send emails.
Steps to follow :
OAuth
Add a new view from the app.
Build an email template.
Save the template by giving it a name.
Add a recipe and choose the email template from previous step.
Enable the integration
How I built it
I used GrapesJS to build the frontend and many AWS services to build the back-end.
Specifically API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, SES, SQS & SNS
Challenges I ran into :
It felt like a simple project initially but as I started working through it, I realized there is still tons of work to be completed. I am happy with it's current state in a few weeks time. This might be why monday's team is taking this long to implement native HTML email support despite many users asking for it for over a year. Each and every feature should be thoroughly thought of how users would use it.
In terms of technical challenges, I felt the documentation is very limited, I had to explore a lot to figure out how things work. I know that monday's team is continuously improving it but it still takes them a while to get it solidified. There are a lot of helpful posts in the community forums that helped me navigate through blockers.
Shout out to @basdebruin!! Thank you for helping the community.
Some features are inconsistent and took me some time to figure out. For example, the JWTs are encoded with different variable names in different scenarios. For example (accountId vs account_id), (userId vs user_id) when a JWT is decoded.
I badly needed dynamic drop down values on "View Settings" page to display the email templates created but that feature is still in works as per the community post. Similar feature works for an integration but not for a view. It would open up many other possibilities for my project.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of :
A working email template builder which satisfis some use cases.
What I learned :
I have learned a ton while building this app. Especially I was able to put my GraphQL leanings to the test.
What's next for HTML Email :
I can easily re-purpose this editor to work on HTML instead of MJML. That will give the ability to import emails from other CRMs like HubSpot, MailChimp and make them working inside monday.com so that users will find it easier to switch to monday.com for sending emails.
Have user & board merge tags work with this editor.
Known Issues :
Unlike regular UI buttons the buttons on "View Settings" screen do not reset back to their default values. I guess for any other view/widget, that's needed to but in this case, it's difficult to store the previous state to see if the button was actually clicked again. This could be solved by moving those settings within the template builder.
Only {{pulse.xxx}} merge tags work for now. user & board merge tags are not implemented.
The default email templates given in the app are for inspiration only. It is always better to implement email templates from scratch.
Merge Tags Format :
I used Mustache.js as templating engine. Unlike monday's native merge tags which look like {pulse.name}, mustache uses double curly braces {{pulse.name}}.
Apart from this difference, everything else is the same. We can use all the default monday merge tags with these emails.
DKIM verification :
I'm using AWS SES to send out emails. You may see the from email address for all the emails is the same since I verified it with AWS. However, SES is very flexible to do email verification through an API or verify an entire domain by adding the DKIM settings to the domain.
Once the DKIM is verified, any email address with that domain can be used as a from email address.
Need inspiration for more email templates ?
MJML is an opensource library. Mailjet is adding more email templates to it's collection. You can find them here -

10,382 | https://devpost.com/software/analytech | Simple Analytics
Inspiration
Live dashboards with simple data-drilling techniques immediately came to mind when I used monday.com for the first time. They provide such a wealth of granular data on users' boards with a few quick ways to shape the data to paint a more informative picture. The best thing about such a dynamic product is the endless number of creative ways one can shape such data to paint different pictures, or insights.
What it does
Simple Analytics filters a boards data specifically focusing on the 'Color' column. It provides a bar chart, pie analysis and subset of items in a table with as little as 2-to-3 clicks.
How I built it
I built the app using ReactJS, ChartJS, React-Bootstrap and Material UI. I mainly used Bootstrap and Material for formatting and styling, while ChartJS was used to display group data in a bar chart and item data in a pie chart.
Challenges I ran into
I initially started the project very strong and ambitious. I developed a complicated proof of concept while learning GraphQL for the first time. Each time I could work on it I found myself refactoring code more than developing new functionality. This started affecting my time management and reminded me of the importance of planning and choosing a design principle that fits the project.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm proud that I was able to build a tool of this nature from start to finish, as well as completing my first Hackathon. I am also proud for learning GraphQL and improving my skills in ReactJS.
What I learned
This is my first Hackathon in the professional world and I'm proud of learning about GraphQL, integrating with a platform like Monday.com, massively improving my understanding of React's component lifecycle, and learning a few important lessons on time management.
What's next for Simple Analytics
Currently, the app only focuses on one popular column type, which I would like to eventually extend to as many other column types as possible. I would also like to add more ways to shape, view and export data with minimal input from the user.

10,382 | https://devpost.com/software/ticket-booth | What our ticket board looked like before Ticket Booth
What our ticket board looked like after Ticket Booth was installed
Ticket Detail screen for client communication and internal review
What it does
Ticket Booth allows you to get a more detailed look at your boards by converting pulses into tickets. In the Tickets view, you will be able to evaluate the information in each ticket and access a reworked update section that allows your team to read hundreds of updates without a sweat. This app also allows you to send and receive emails from clients directly from the update section within each ticket, allowing for all your client communication to happen on Monday.com!
How I built it
I built this app by consistently working on the ground with the Carbon Web development team. Many of them, all of whom are great developers, lacked comfort and experience with using Monday.com. This was a great learning experience for both our developers and me.
Challenges I ran into
Gmail API! As of now, the ability to email a client within an update in the Tickets board view is in BETA. Due to the struggle of not being able to authenticate into a Gmail account, we were not able to accomplish our original idea of sending emails via a user email address instead of a set one. This challenge was quite a large setback, but we plan on continuing to develop Ticket Booth for weeks to come until this is properly integrated.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am very proud of my success in leading a team of developers that have no experience or understanding of developing on Monday.com. Not only did this result in a final product, but it also inspired a strong interest in continuing to build on the Monday.com Work OS.
What I learned
There were two major takeaways for me after leading the Ticket Booth project.
The Monday.com community forums are not only a fantastic place for solutions to complicated problems but also for like-minded Monday.com enthusiasts to engage with each other. To think that all this time I was developing Monday API without visiting the forums is insane! It definitely would have made my life a lot easier.
The other take away I had from developing this application is that, unlike other companies, Monday.com does not want to spend their time and effort developing applications for the user, but rather spend time opening up the ability for the community to develop what they want. I think it's a great take on development, and I’ve never personally worked with a company that has allocated this many resources to do so.
What's next for Ticket Booth
The list of coming features to Ticket Booth is endless; however, here is a list of the top 5 features that have already been requested by our team and others.
Employee based email signatures in update email correspondence.
Custom email address for teams use.
Styling a new settings page to allow for more advanced customization within the application.
Sorting by group on the Tickets board view.

The Jackpot app view, which reads the board to know how much to add to the jackpot
Yay I won! I feel motivated to do more tasks now.
Inspiration
We were inspired by how one of our team members already uses Monday to reward their staff by placing monetary rewards on completed items. So we thought... what if we could take it a step further and make a fun, addictive game out of it? That's when Jackpot was born.
What it does
Jackpot app can be added to any board. It will read the board's Person and Status columns to determine which items are "complete", and then to add money to a jackpot for each item. Users can then spin the wheel for a number of times equal to how many items they have personally completed. The more spins, the more chances to win.
How we built it
We made a standalone React app and exported the build into Monday, so it can be added to any board, and doesn't rely on a backend other than a Monday board. We started with the example app, so we used React + ngrok for development, and made use of Monday's APIs.
Challenges we ran into
Since it was only possible to develop the app from within the Build view inside of Monday, we couldn't use typical React developer tools, from what we could tell, so we had to rely mostly on console.log's. Also, we just met as a team and had to work remotely on this project, so that was a challenging new experience.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
This is the first React app anyone on our team has ever made, so we had to learn React on the fly. This is also the first time we made use of Monday's APIs, such as storage, board data, context, settings, notices, so learning those was fun.
What we learned
We learned React! Also how to make a an app using the Monday platform, and how to use the Monday APIs, such as storage, me, boards, context, settings, notices. And how to work remotely with a team of people we just met.
What's next for Jackpot
Jackpot can certainly be spruced up to include instructions for new users, as well as alert integrations through Monday to email or slack whenever someone wins a jackpot.

Reports can be configured to show release, sprint or project status.
With automatic updates and full screen view, they can be displayed on wall monitors for everyone to see.
How I built it
I joined workshop with monday Apps team. It was very good, I learned all the building blocks required for the app.
Then I looked into design, how to make it look like "monday app" with colours and settings.
Automated tests were used to develop key parts of the application and helped a lot with optimisation.
Challenges I ran into
We could not use build-in monday filters, because we need selection criteria for the filter (currently not in API).
We implemented simple filter in settings to filter for specific group or column value.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Finishing good looking and well working app before deadline.
Flexible settings to support many boards configurations (only status column is required on the board).

WordPress - Monday Integration
Inspiration 😇
WordPress is used by 30% of the top 10 million websites. No Doubt it's the first choice for content publishers. In our startup, we were using WordPress as a content publishing platform. Working with a team of people we found monday.com could be a great tool to manage the publishing, collaborate, and keep everything on track. So, we set-up a Monday board with automation and workflow that was suited for us. Monday soon we realized there was a lot of back and forth between Monday and WordPress in which users had to manually update things. We tried zapier , intergromat, and other solutions but these all were the one-sided solution and changes didn't synchronize.
We saw this as an opportunity and started integrating with Monday API V2. As we built it on top of WordPress, we realized that we can actually extract the core and make it an open service for anyone using WordPress.
What it does 🤔
This integration lets users synchronize there WordPress site with Monday to create efficient workflows and automation. Monday users can synchronize posts, pages, users, comments, and taxonomies from WordPress to Monday and vice versa. This opens a new window of automation opportunity for publishers, content creators, or simply anyone using WordPress to create custom workflows and connect various other platforms without any additional plugin installation on WordPress.
Monday users would be able to do following Integrations -
When a WordPress Post is created create a new item and sync future changes.
Additionally -
a. Assign user if exists.
b. Assign Tags and categories using tags fields.
c. Load Comments as updates to the posts.
d. Synchronize post status and Monday status
e. Add the preview post link.
When a WordPress Page is created create a new item and sync future changes.
When a new Monday item is created, Create a Draft post in WordPress.
When an item status changes to something, change WordPress post status to something
When a new WordPress user is added, create a new item on Monday
When a new Comment is added create a new item.
How we built it 🧑🏼💻
The whole integration has 3 parts -
Monday Recipes
- This contains a set of actions and triggers that users can choose as his desired sync between WordPress and Monday.
Middleware
- This is built with MongoDB and express.js where we keep a record of all users and there chosen integration and forward the request to their desired WordPress website. This middleware is hosted on EC2 and performs 3 basic functions -
a. Authorization
- User enters his WordPress credentials with an API key and secret generated by our WordPress plugin
b. Callback
- This shares the access token directly to the WordPress site so that for future interaction middleware is not required.
c. Subscription and Run URL forwarding
- This simply forwards the subscription ID for direct action to the WordPress site by identifying account and user.
WordPress Plugin
- This is the part that does the heavy lifting. All the synchronization, run, actions, and hooks are performed here as we wanted to maintain the privacy of the user and didn't wanted to store and transaction at our end. WordPress Plugin does the following things -
a.
Generates API key and the secret of middleware used during the authorization process.
b.
Manages subscription triggered by Monday user
c.
Then depending upon the trigger chosen by user we look for that action in WordPress and perform that action on Monday using API V2.
d.
We keep an association of WordPress entities and Monday items so that they can be synchronized in the future.
Challenges we ran into 😅 -
Authorizations took most of the time because at first, we were not sure how we can connect any WordPress site in the world on Monday integrations. Also, we found there was no example project that involved such a custom authorization process, so we had to create one on our own.
Deciding between webhooks or API V2 was also a challenge and we were not sure how sync can happen for independent items and it was impractical to trigger so many webhooks for so many items. Hence we went with the association approach where every WordPress entity connects with Monday will have an association with Monday user, item, tags, labels.
Another big problem was mapping the fields. When planning the integration, we though integration mapping would be out by the time we come to that part. But that didn't happen. As we didn't have any way of finding which column was being used for what field of WordPress, so we went with a novel approach and triggered column creation on Monday if that field wasn't associated with WordPress. This prevents any data misconduct or error from API. ( We create what we don't have). Once integration mapping is released, we will replace this with that.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are onto something big. We have built first of its kind WordPress a no-code platform with Monday a WorkOS. In simple words, WordPress can be automated and connect with any app that will ever exist on Monday in the future without installing additional plugins on WordPress.
We can't wait to see what people are going to build with this. WordPress can be used for anything using its modular approach and connecting it with the world's best automation platform is steroids for WordPress.
It's free and always will be.🥳 Just like WordPress, our integration will always remain free for users. 🤩
It's completely opensource and we can't wait to build a community around it.

This is an example of screens on Miral
Inspiration
As the COVID pandemic gripped the world and remote working became the new normal I began to see a lot of people I knew become dependent on digital whiteboarding tools like Miro and Mural.
As I began to use them more and more for client workshops/documents I noticed a number of things began to bug me.
Most importantly both tools had proprietary data formats and I couldn’t take a board from one and load it into the other. Also the rendering engines I found to be unreliable and over-complicated, I hated that I was forced to store my (potentially sensitive) client data on their cloud storage (with their questionable security and backgrounds)- some clients even refused to use it for this reason and finally, there was just too much bloat, the tools were trying to do everything (video conferencing, etc.)
I searched for a good open-source alternative but came up empty-handed, so I decided to build my own.
What it does
Miral is an embeddable whiteboard that focusses on the tools needed by workshop facilitators. As such it offers :
*Infinite zoomable working canvas
*Fully formattable geo-metric shapes (rectangle, circle, triangle)
*Skeuomorphic formattable post-it notes
*Formattable text areas
*Customisable lines and freehand drawing tool
*Embeddable images
*Undo & redo
*Saveable
How I built it
All existing solutions seemed to rely on either DOM manipulation or canvas, Miro for example always makes my laptop fan go crazy and get really hot if I leave the tab open too long. I wanted to make sure, Miral was performant and not resource-heavy, so I decided to use browser native SVG to do the rendering it turned out to be a great choice, coupled with using react and the virtual dom as a control plane to manipulate and manage events, the two came together in a really elegant way.
Challenges I ran into
The sheer amount of features present that needed to be built, was the biggest problem. Then creating an architecture that allowed for a decentralised approach that enabled putting the functional logic as close to the components as possible. Getting the resizing, selection and interaction events all working together in a harmonious non-spaghetti way was super hard.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Getting the undo & redo feature working was fun, as was getting the smooth freehand line drawing, oh and getting the drop shadows right on the post-its was also really satisfying.
Overall, that so much is possible in such a short timeframe and that the look and feel and performance stand-up quite well.
What I learned
A ton about SVG, some of the newer react feature and how to get Jest working properly.
What's next for Miral
There's a long long backlog still of features to replicate but overall the big ones I'm looking forward too are :
*Multi-user updates & cursors
*Slides (navigatable & presentable)
*Iframe & other integrations (e.g. youtube)
*Beautiful timers
*Voting and quizzes
*Export to image
*Import PDF
*Import from Miro
*Import from Mural

Summary before sending in the file
The options for Show the Website
Record a Video of an Application
Inspiration
When working remotely, I often struggle communicating with words alone. It's easier for me to express what I need through images or videos. Having a tool to help with that will help the team reach an understanding faster.
What it does
This app has 3 different methods to choose from:
Show the website
This method lets you generate a screenshot of public websites in different viewports such as desktop, tablet, and mobile in a full page if you so choose. This is definitely beneficial for designers and product managers that want to markup up the website for design iterations, and copy changes to be sent off for iterative changes and even development. You can create markups directly and submit that into your description for your team!
Show the idea
Have a prototype? Or an idea? How do you show it?
URL
Have a design mockup you want to attach to a ticket, simply get a URL of the file and a thumbnail is generated into the ticket. Some supported cloud URLs are Figma, XD, Invision, Google Drive, and more.
Upload
is for sharing any file within Monday's file size limit. If the file is an image, you still get the feature to draw and write and it will generate a new image for you. The Upload feature is not limited to just designers. You can upload almost anything that Monday allows. If you need copy changes, you can mark that up as well.
Capture
Snap a picture from their screen or with their camera. For Initiating the screen button, you can access your monitors, applications, and browser tabs. You can repeatedly press
capture
to get the right shot before you press
save
to move forward.
Show the Video
Sometimes images doesn't do the job and you need to send a video recording.
There are two buttons to choose from.
Record Self
or
Record Screen
.
Record Self
will access your camera and microphone and instantly start recording on the press of the button. To end the recording, press the red button that says
stop
and then you can preview your recording.
Record Screen
let's you record your monitor screen, window application, or a browser tab and will also access your microphone, which is perfect for bug reporting. Anyone familiar with the QA and UAT process, this is vital.
Mobile Options
has front camera and environment for recording. Front is the front facing camera and environment is the back facing camera.
Download Video
from the video's controls at the bottom right after playing back your video. If you don't see a
downloads
option inside the controls, it could mean you haven't played the whole video yet.
Send the Update
Once the summary looks fine, you can send an update to an item by searching for the item name on the right sidebar and clicking on the correct item name button which will instantly send. Depending on the file or image size, it may take a while to see your uploaded file.
How we built it
Functional components
ReactJS
and CSS is the backbone of everything this app is.
Puppeteer
is used for
Show the Website
and some
Show the Idea: URL
. It was the exact tool I needed for generating screenshots for services that doesn't offer an API. While working on that, I thought it would be great to create a tool for showing websites in different viewports which I know I've needed many times for quality assurance.
NodeJs
was needed for
puppeteer
to work. All I needed to do was send in a URL as a query request from the client and puppeteer in nodeJS will generate an image in Base64 mode and send it back to the client. I also needed Nodejs for sending in any file to Monday's API.
Canvas HTML5 API
is used for any image that is attached to this app in
Show the Website
and
Show the Idea: URL/Upload
. While the images themselves aren't stuck to a canvas element, but it will be once the user initiates a drawing/writing. Even non generated images such as uploaded image files can be drawn on. I used a tool called
Merge Images
to overlap the drawn canvas to the image.
MediaDevices
is used for
Show the Idea: Capture
and
Show the Video
. I wanted to get the user's screen for recording as I know it would be useful for describing anything. In the process, I figured it would be handy to have a feature to record with your camera as well since it almost uses the same code as screen record. While I was in the process of implementing the camera record, I wanted it to work for mobile's back facing camera (aka environment camera). So now mobile has their own set of buttons for front and back facing camera and desktop version gets screen and self buttons.
Challenges we ran into
Unfortunately, everything I worked on I experienced a problem. I have definitely lost track on all the problems I faced, but there was something that stood out from all the rest of the "Challenges".
The Canvas API
. It was the biggest headache to get going, and I felt like I kept making changes to it up till the end of the app. Some of the problems I faced with Canvas was:
"How can I align the canvas to the image?" That is when I discovered you can have the image as a background but use the image's
naturalHeight/naturalWidth
as the canvas's dimensions to get the alignment right.
"How can I combine the canvas and the image and now why is there a black screen?" That's when I discovered a tool
merge-images
and make sure the canvas is convered to png to have a clear background.
"Wait, the image is too large and the user can't access the whole image." I should implement a
requestFullscreen()
to help solve that.
"Why am I not able to draw on the canvas after scrolling?" That is when I discovered
getBoundingClientRect()
.
"Oh no, I can't draw with my drawing tablet as it automatically scrolls." I implemented
touch-action:none
for canvas to keep the canvas in place.
And much more with Canvas API...
Some other challenges I faced seem pretty silly now after figuring out the answer. Such as wondering why I couldn't get a Monday SDK api query going which is because I didn't have the correct scope.
And then there are some challenges I had to work around. Such as not being able to use Monday's file upload request to their API from the frontend due to CORS. I instead implemented it server side and send the file with Axios and formdata from the client side.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I turned my dream app into a reality. It was definitely a challenging road, but I managed to pass every obstacle I ran into and I did it as the sole fullstack developer
(with the help of google and stackoverflow)
.
What we learned
I have learned so much in the process of developing this app. The features that I thought would be impossible for me, ended up being possible. While I know the app isn't perfect, but I definitely managed to get everything working the way I want it to.
What's next for Item Visualizer
The drawing canvas can always be improved. I would love to add an
undo
feature which should be a quick addition. I don't think anybody would like to clear the canvas when they've already made some big changes.
I implemented a
WebRTC
video chat that was working great as a one-on-one chat but didn't have enough time to finish it. Also, I didn't have enough devices/people to help test as I would like to have it working with a group and not just a one-on-one type thing.
It was going to be a new method called
Show Someone
(Or something like that). What I wanted it to do was have a user request a video chat with a different user at a certain time and all they need to do is group up at a certain room ID. I would like each user matched with their Monday name that was invited. This way, you wouldn't need any other video chat service when you can do it right in Monday using WebRTC. This seems like a big app idea so I'm debating whether or not to include it with Item Visualizer or separate.
I want to implement screen capture/record for Mobile. Unfortunately
getDisplayMedia()
doesn't work for mobile, so I need to research a way for something similar to work for mobile devices.

We wanted to introduce a little friendly competition into the monday.com ecosystem.
What it does
Ranks users based on the number of tasks they've completed and assigns them a "level". The xp per level, xp per task and xp per individual task can all be customized.
How we built it
We built the app using React.js, because that's what the monday.com tutorial used and we're pretty lazy.
Challenges we ran into
The monday.com developer screen (in View Setup) does not allow filtering of issues, so to test the filtering functionality we had to compile and publish the app to the live board for every iteration.
We where surprised that the monday.listen("itemIds", ...) API listen doesn't seem to trigger across tabs. We considered adding a refresh button to solve reloading stale data, but decided against it. That's what browser refresh is for!
Maybe this exists and we just didn't find it, but it would've been nice to have a monday.com css url so we could load monday's default styling into our app.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
This was our first React project, so it was good chance for us to learn a new framework. One of us had never even done web work before!
What we learned
We should've got the data for our view at a lower level (deeper in the react component stack) as-required. As the app is now, the root component gets all the required data and then distributes it. That means any changes requires a full page refresh, which is not optimal.

10,382 | https://devpost.com/software/knowledge-base-zsi4ta | Inspiration
So far, in our daily work, we have used Confluence when working with tasks in Jira, which is why we know how important it is to exchange knowledge in a team. Getting to know monday, doing research for the hackathon, after a short time of use, we noticed it as something we cannot work without.
In addition, our friends who have more experience working with monday pointed out such examples when they lack this functionality:
marketing tasks → we lack a place where we can upload the results of the sem campaign and link to the application, a place to create a content plan
business → we would like to be able to create separate pages for each client with a history of cooperation / contact with him
project documentation
retro → not enough space to save what happened during retro and action points from it
team spirit → outside work, the team has various passions that they would like to share with others
Therefore, we decided to add the ability to build a knowledge base in monday.
What it does
This extension allows you to create a knowledge base in Monday. Using this app is a child's play! All you need to do is add a widget to the previously created dashboard ... and it's ready! Two modes are available: View and Edit. In Edit mode, you can create new pages, edit their content, format texts, add graphics. Thanks to this, the valuable knowledge of your team will not get lost in the depths of emails, messages on messengers, or comments on tasks. One source of truth is easily accessible to everyone (if the dashboard is shared with others).
Thanks to the application, users can:
create pages with the tree structure
build an internal knowledge base, intranet
write a blog for employees
share the onboarding process (extension of the use case described
here
... and many others
How we built it
The app is built using reactJS. We used 3rd party libs like
antd
(tree component) and
react-quillas
wysiwyg editor. Another interesting solution is to use styled-components as a styling library (CSS). The application is hosted on Heroku (Node.js Express).
Challenges we ran into
The use of API Storage in our case is too restrictive. Currently, we do not have any synchronization between several users and saving to the Storage. This will require either rewriting the data on the side of our application or waiting for improvements in the Monday Storage API itself. The problem with saving the pictures also remains to be solved. This is now resolved so that it is written to the "content" of the page after converting it to base64.
Time was chasing us, even though there was a lot more than the classic weekend hackathon.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
This is our first monday app. We are glad that we were able to implement a product that works: from the idea, through development, to the finished app.
What we learned
We get to know a new ecosystem, a new marketplace. We learned what monday can do, not only for developers to write extensions but also for the users themselves.
What's next for Knowledge Base
We are not resting on our laurels - quite the contrary! We have ideas for the development of this app, and more will probably come along with the users.
Option to export updates from the task directly to the knowledge base page (creating a page based on comments)

Inspiration
In Monday there's lack of consolidated view where users can see a master to do list across boards as per their needs. Get things done app solves this very problem by adding a dashboard widget where users can define their own rules to see items of their interest and items which are overdue and due in immediate future.
What it does
GTD App provides a dashboard widget which helps you to focus on items which are going to be due soon across the boards as per their preference. Users can define their own rules specifying which columns to use to track status and due date from. Users can set their definition of done by choosing status column values, items with these status will be treated as completed hence won't show in users To Do list. Rules are specific to the user hence each user can use the same dashboard widget to define their own rules. Idea is to have a place for users to track items which they need to focus on in the immediate future from different boards. They don't need to toggle across boards to find items which need their attention.
Updates of items can be seen by simply clicking on updates icon. You can also update item name, staus and due date from this view itself. User can see the items which he's subscribed to as well items which he's owner with an option to toggle between the two.
How we built it
This was built using react and Monday sdk.

10,382 | https://devpost.com/software/monday-com-voice-interface | Widget status while recording the audio
Inspiration
monday.com is all about productivity (yes guys, we've seen your ads on YouTube. Repeatedly), and, in order to be productive, you need to have a smooth and natural interaction with any tool we use to organize ourselves.
monday is already one of the tools with the best experience out there (shoutout to the UX team!). But we wanted to make it even more natural... and what is more intuitive for human beings than speaking? Enter our voice interface.
What it does
It's a widget you can add to any dashboard on your monday.com account, bind it to a table, and use to create items on it straight out of the box by saying phrases like "add a task for me to reply that very important email tomorrow".
In this example, the widget would create an item on the table it's connected to with the text "reply that very important email", assign it to you, and set the due date for tomorrow.
How we built it
The widget interface was built with react using the standard tutorial. We record the audio input with a custom react component called
react-audio-analyser
, and then send the blob to our backend for processing.
For the NLP we used
Dialogflow
. It allows us to define our own sentence structures with a token-based syntax. This way we could train the IA model to detect the portions of the input that matches the name of the task, the name of the assignee, and the due date.
Dialogflow's API would then receive the audio blob, use Google's impressive Speach to Text solution to convert the audio to a string, process it using our custom rules, and return to us a JSON object with all the parameters we needed to create the item on the board.
After receiving the JSON response from Dialogflow, we simply used monday's SDK to create the item on the board.
All the work took around 48 hours (most of them on one weekend).
Challenges we ran into
The biggest one was the integration with Dialogflow's API. For starters, the way it's authenticated makes inviable to call it directly from the frontend. So we created a simple backend that just receives the audio blob, calls the API, and returns the JSON response received from Dialogflow. The backend is completely serverless using AWS Lambda.
After that, we still had problems with the audio file encoding format. The initial component we were using encoded the file in OGG and Dialogflow only really works with WAV format (despite what their documentation says). Took us a while to find this last component that already gives the file in WAV.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are very satisfied with the architecture we built. The serverless backend is 100% scalable, and the whole system is only limited by
Dialogflow's quotas and limits
, which can e increased if the demand gets too high.
What we learned
Each one of us worked with something we've never seen before on this project. The frontend didn't know React, the backend didn't know serverless and the IA engineer had never used Dialogflow. So we had to learn everything we used.
We also learned to always read the Terms and Conditions
before
starting a hackathon project. We are from Brazil and only saw that the competition was not open for us here after all the work was done. We still submitted the project because we're proud of our work anyway. :)
What's next for monday.com voice interface
Right now the assistant works fine for just one sentence model: "add a task for @someone to @task_text @due_date". for its broad usage it's fundamental we train the model with to understand other formats too.
Besides that, we can think of other interactions for the assistant to do inside monday. Basically we can add an intent for everything the monday SDK can do.
Last but not least: What we did here was a voice interface for monday's API, which uses GraphQL. What we are really doing under the hood is simply transpiling the JSON output from Dialogflow into the proper GraphQL query... So, with the right modeling, this project can turn into a general voice interface for any GraphQL API!
This way we could have a voice-enabled assistant that would instantly interface with any system that uses GraphQL. No time wasted integrating the assistant with every REST endpoint of every product on the market.

My Wellbeing
Inspiration
Many productivity and team management platforms and employers focus on streamlining processes and optimising workflows to deliver projects on time and on budget. However, many overlook the direct impact a employee’s wellbeing has on their productivity and ability to deliver results.
What it does
The Wellbeing app for monday.com aims to bring the focus onto the wellbeing of each team member as an important part of team collaboration.
To start using the Wellbeing app, install the app on your monday.com account and add it to your board. Your team includes all the users currently subscribed to the board.
On the Team Wellbeing tab, you can see how each team member is feeling at a glance. Want to see more details? Hover over the profile photo to see what’s on their mind or check out the table for a detailed list.
On the My Wellbeing tab, you can select your mood and write down what‘s on your mind. This information will be shared with your team on the Team Wellbeing tab. You can also see a personalised list of recommendations to help improve your wellbeing.
How I built it
The Wellbeing app is a React web application written in TypeScript and styled using Sass. Wellbeing data is stored using the monday.com Storage API and GitLab is used to host the React web application.
What's next for Wellbeing
A number of features are on our backlog including a widget to allow a team's wellbeing to be tracked from a dashboard.

10,382 | https://devpost.com/software/xero | Inspiration
We built this as we have a number of clients who use Xero and requested this integration.
What it does
The integration allows users to create contacts, invoices and load timesheets straight from monday.com to Xero. This allows users to avoid double handling information and avoid entering Xero when they can remain in monday and keep productive.
How I built it
We built this using Laravel PHP, monday.com Apps and the application is hosted on AWS servers. Using the monday.com Apps platform we are able to leverage status/column changes to create the data in Xero. Access to creating custom recipes and triggers has made the integration easy to manage.
Challenges I ran into
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We were able to develop around 80% of this app in around 2 days thanks to the monday.com Hackathon. With the help of the monday.com Apps team, we were able to solver issues and bugs quickly, both within our app and the monday.com Apps platform.
What's next for Xero
In the next phase, we will allow users to import data from Xero into monday.com. Using Xero webhooks, we will be able to keep monday.com up to date with the latest data from Xero to allow for easy reporting and alerting staff when invoices have been paid to begin working as soon as possible.

Our project was heavily inspired by MIcrosoft's VSCode pull request and issues extension which let's the developers use vscode as the platform to manage all related things around pull requests and issues.
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-pull-request-github
What it does
Our VSCode extension allows its users to have full control over their Monday account, starting with overview of the entire project status and creating, removing and updating the project, boards, items, teams and users.
How we built it
The project was built using Javascript mainly harnessing the power of Monday's SDK and GraphQL services, Authentication using an on demand local nodejs server, Azure Devops as a CI platform and obviously VSCode marketplace and framework to create the extension.
Challenges we ran into
As this was our first time creating a VSCode extension we had to read the entire documentation and learn how to create one.
Using Monday SDK which wasn't exposing typings.
Creating a local service for authentication and token refreshing as VSCode is an electron desktop application.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The ability to learn and implement 2 different and new API's and the VSCode framework in such a short time without a prior knowledge was a great challenge that we believe we overcame and achieved a stable product.
What's next for vscode integration
In the near future if we see that the extension is being used and recognized by the Monday community we will add more features and abilities in order to achieve eventually a complete mirroring of the Monday platform right into VSCode to ease and simplify the use for developers.

Teams (monday.com)
Inspiration
Teams is essential app for remote teams working across multiple timezones and/or working in multiple shifts.
What it does
The app shows visual representation of your teams' working hours and everyone in those teams. You can easily see if your teams cover full 24 hours, where they overlap and where you have gaps to fill. You can "assign" team to all items on your board with single click e.g. to handover work from one shift to another. You can also choose to assign a random member from selected team to those items. You can add Teams Widget for each of your teams and the widget will show you statistics on number of handovers between columns you configured and top/bottom performers. The app has no opinion about how you should use it or monday.com, so it's up to you - the more information you provide in settings, the richer your experience will be.
How I built it
Teams is build as a react app providing board view and a dashboard widget.

What was behind Bitskout
While working in large corporations we saw that time based tracking is the basis for almost all decisions about performance. But we all know that using results instead time for performance analysis is the key for productivity. At the end, we want pay for results. The issue is that to track results you need algorithms that understand the context, your particular context, however, there are no domain specific algorithms. It was clear for us that this is the problem we want to address - allowing enterprise collect data, create their own algorithms without breaking current processes and maintaining motivation of their people is a tough nut to crack.
What we've learned
We've learned how motivation of the parties is important. Building a solution requires an understanding what drives people to do things, and even if you force the whole engineering unit to collect the photos, it does not automatically means that they will do it. Understand how those forces work lead us to choose blockchain and tokens in our architecture. This allows project managers create reward systems and convert our tokens into any reward points they have currently.
What are the challenges
The challenge is always to find an optimal way to boost performance without breaking a process. Change management is very difficult, and simplifying your solution is the key to address that. I would say that we spent 70% of the time removing features than adding them. And also this time we've decided to make "slow" development - a lot of time thinking, and much less time actual coding which helped us to build a very good architecture and avoid burnout.
Why we are building Bitskout
There are always a lot of reasons to build a great product, and if I would choose one, then I would say that we've built Bitskout to make people happy at work. There are so many mundane tasks, double checks, triple checks and distractions that at the end of the day even the best jobs become exhausting. And we hope that adding AI to the mix in a proper way could save people a lot of time and remove anxiety. It is a great problem to solve because, as per reports, only 18% of employee claim that they are engaged in their work.

Search Users:
You can search for a specific user within the app.
Timely is 100% secure since it does not transfer data in and out from monday.com. No third party service has access to your data and all data is processed within monday.com.
How I built it
Timely was built using React and moment.js. All the UI components were built from scratch and UI was built to follow monday design guidelines. Also monday SDK JS, monday APIs and monday storage services were used to fetch and store data from monday.
Challenges I ran into
The biggest challenge was to create the dynamic timeline view. I created this from scratch and no third party libraries were used apart from the moment timezone.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I was able to create this app within 7 days and really happy about that time frame considering I'm the only developer and also being new to monday platform and SDK. I'm also proud to give this app totally free for anyone who needs to track times all around the world.

I saw a popular request for managing pulses across multiple boards simultaneously. I thought, maybe I can do something there...
What it does
Allows users to manage work across multiple boards in a way that looks and feels like native Monday.com functionality.
Has advanced filters that can be saved as a view, inline editing, shared column toggling, live updates, and allows batch updates across boards.
How I built it
Built with Angular, Typescript, and a ton of map/reduce via lodash.
Challenges I ran into
I'm new to Monday.com, so there was a bit of a learning curve - but the SDK is very easy to use and the Monday.com team was very helpful when I had questions. Thanks Dipro and Vlad!
The SDK drops calls when there is an error, the payload is empty, or the user's session has expired. I put in some heuristics to determine when a call is unlikely to return so the code would have something to work with. That said, I want to point out what a smooth, painless experience it was the vast majority of the time in so many ways. The live editor (via ngrok) was so easy to use, and I never saw caching issues when I published the app multiple times - just to mention a couple of things.
Figuring out the color for a given status. Enjoyed decompiling Monday.com's front end code and search for color mappings (seriously, yes, I enjoy that).
Monday.com's servers flagged my work on batch updates as a DOS attack (sorry about that guys)...
Severe lack of sleep.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Looks and feels like native Monday.com
Fast initial load of the app - user can start working almost immediately
Performant handling of 1000's of pulses
Due date pie chart indicators use dynamically generated SVGs
Smart column grouping
Typescript annotations for tracking call and api timings (see screenshot)

Master-Detail design
Master-Detail process flow
Master-Detail screenshot
Inspiration
I got inspired by the number of messages in both the Community and the Partner channel where fellow monday.com lovers are asking for Master-Detail solutions. In many use cases the amazing dashboards in monday.com will solve the user's needs. Mirror columns and sub-items can also be of great usage. In other situations the available features are not the best solution, some people just want to see the Column Summary of many columns in many (Detail) boards in a Master board. That is why I developed Master-Detail.
What it does
All configuration is done from the Master board. The first thing to do is to prepare the master board with columns for:
• Matching ID – a text column that will hold the ID of the Detail board where the Detail board will have this [ID] anywhere in its title
• Collect – a status column with two statuses (On/Off) to be able to switch the data collection for a Detail board On or Off.
The next step is to configure the Master board with this recipe:
Step 1 – use
this board
as template for detailed boards and
this column
for matching. Control data collection by setting
this status
to
on status
or
off status
The field
this board
let you chose any board in your account (providing you have access to it) to be used as a template. The app will look for supported columns in this template board to build a list for later use. When you add a Detail board (by changing the
this status
in you Master board) the app will check if this Detail boards exists (does it have the [ID] in its title) and then will check if the Detail board contains the same (supported) columns as the specified template.
A Detail board that is switched on will be configured with webhooks (one for each supported column + one for add items) that are all posting to the same endpoint in the app, I call this endpoint the "Collector".
There are recipes available for all supported column types, these are:
Watch
this timeline
in detailed boards and place overall timeline in
this column
Watch
this number
in detailed boards and place the
operation
in
this column
Watch
this status
in detailed boards for
this state
and place it in
this column
, using
this format
Watch
this time tracker
in detailed boards and place the
operation
in
this column
, using
this format
These recipes are used to get the required information from the detailed boards, where in some case users can select the
operation
(sum, average, min, max) and the
format
to be used.
How I built it
The app / feature is built with node.js that runs an a Plesk server on Ubuntu. On the same server a mariaDB instance is running to store user tokens and configuration data. On the monday.com side I am using only custom triggers and custom actions. The main reason to use custom triggers is that I use the subscribe event to check (or create) a purchase record in my database. The purchase record contains the installation date and a notification date. Newly installed features will be available in trial mode (currently set to 10 days). This trial mode can be unlocked from the
Excellent Team
webshop. See also attached images with the request flows.
The "Master-Detail" feature is part of a single app that contains more features. All features share the same code base and make use of this trial mode / unlocking idea. Another feature worth mentioning here is "AutoID Column" which let users define an auto increment ID (like PR-001, PR-002, etc). This "AutoID Column" feature can be perfectly used to create incremental ID's for the Detail boards.
As explained the "Collector" endpoint will receive all requests from column changes and item additions from all switched On Detail boards. The "Collector" will post requests to the configured features (recipes) based on the column type that is under watch. From these features (recipes) this post request is seen as the trigger that is fired and the feature receives the boardId of the Detail board in the payload. With this data the action part of the recipe will send a request to the Master-Detail app endpoint (configured in the custom action as the action URL) which does read the items in the Detail board to calculate the desired outcome.
Basically the "Collector" sits between the custom triggers and the custom actions of all configured recipes.
Challenges I ran into
The first challenge was to define the request flow between the Master and the Detail boards. This was solved by using a single endpoint (the "Collector") that distributes the request to the action part of the features.
Other challenges had to do with the custom field type (dropdown boxes). After I reported a bug to monday.com that it was not possible to use multiple custom field types in one recipe, the amazing support and development team form monday.com were able to solve this just in time for this challenge. The Master-Detail app supports multiple Master boards (each with its own set of Detail boards) in one account. Therefore it would be very helpful when the boardId of the board where the user is configuring the custom trigger to is part of the request that is send to get the options for a custom field type. As this is not available yet I worked around this by preceding the column name in the recipes with the name of the Master board. This can lead to error (which I currently catches in code) where user can select a column that belongs to a template configure in another Master board. An alternative solution will be to have dependencies between custom field types and I understand that this is currently in development.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The two accomplishments I am most proud of are: the implementation of trial mode for all features and apps (with the unlocking feature through our shop) and idea to have a common endpoint "Collector" that sits in between all inserted webhooks recipes in the Detail boards and the action part of the column based recipes. The trigger for those column based recipes takes the value from a list of columns generated from the Detail board used as a template.
What I learned
Never give up! During the build phase I ran into a few things that looks impossible to do. After some good discussions with monday.com team members and with the help of the Community there is always an alternative road to the end goal.
What's next for Excellent Team - Master-Detail
When monday.com sends more information in the request to supply custom dropdown field values and create the possibility for custom field dependencies the Master-Detail app will be changed to adapt to these enhancements. This will make the dropdown boxes in the recipes more tailored to the board where the recipe is added to.
Another enhancement will be to ease the creation of Detail boards by creating those boards from inside the Master board, using the specified template and an integration with AutoID Column. The goal is to create a Detail board every time a row is added in the Master board, using the matching ID generated by AutoId Column. When generating matching ID's is automated we will change the ID column to a link column, so users can click on it to open the Detail board directly from the Master board. The challenge here is to understand where (in which Workspace) the user wants to store those Detail boards in their monday account.

Inspiration
My inspiration really comes from personal experience. In my college career, I have noticed that projects I run into sometimes take a short time to produce results or a long time without such results. This app should allow team leaders to get a more holistic view of were these things take place in a virtual work space. So as to maximize the use of time spent doing nothing and assist with the times were workers are just "stuck".
What it does
It is a simple board view that provides a timer that shows how long a worker has been working and allows you to see if they are on seat through their webcam. This app is meant purely to represent the idea and will need monetary input to get a more production ready version (money I do not have). It also allows the worker see tasks the employer or team leader expects them to be working on and the team leader to see the tasks the workers are stuck on. This works across all boards in an account and has the following constraints:
1 Team leaders have to have "team leader" as their user title
2 status field is required
3 people field is required for assigning tasks
How I built it
I made use of react for the view frontend. This is the first time I have made use of react and it is a really great experience for me. I also created an api in express to persist some information I couldn't on monday.
Challenges I ran into
I found it hard creating a video streaming set up without a paid external method
I also noticed

This is the result. You can see that an item is created every time a build fails, so you get an overview.
You can create an automation that sends you a notification when a new item is created.
You can track the amount of time every individual needs to fix the problem. This way you can for example create a leaderboard.
Monday.com >< CircleCI
About me
My name is Beerd. I'm a high school student in the Netherlands. One of my favourite things to do when I get home from school is programming. You can see some of my projects on
my website
Inspiration
I spent a lot of time thinking about what kind of app I wanted to build. When I was going through all my emails, I got frustrated by the amount of emails I received from CircleCI about failed builds. Then I decided to create a Monday app that would help me and others to make my development workflow easier and more structured.
Another reason why I started building this app is that I wanted to gain more programming experience. I already had some experience with React, so that was not a big problem. However, the integration part was a bit more challenging for me, because I have never built something like that before.
What it does
My app is built to help you create an overview of your failed builds. First of all, you can create automations that will create new items on your board when triggered. You can then create other automations that will trigger when a new item is added to your board. This way you can for example create a due date, or notify someone. You can even track the time it took before the status was set to "Fixed" and create leaderboards tracking who can fix problems the fastest. See some

For this project, I have used a number of technologies. I already knew some of them, but some were new for me.
The first one is React. I used this for the dashboard widget. I already built a webshop with React (see my
portfolio
, so I already had some experience, but as always, I learned new tricks.
Another technology I used for this app is Firebase. This is built by Google and provides a lot of functionality. The main reason I used it was Firestore, a cloud database. I use this to manage the user integration subscriptions. This was the first time for me to use this, so I gained a lot of experience there.
I also used the CircleCI api for this project. I was already familiar with using CircleCI. The problem with the CircleCI API was that there was no API wrapper that has all the functionality I needed, so I had to build this myself. I had never done something like that before, so this was also a great addition to my skills.
This might be a bit obvious, but I also used Monday.com. I found out that using Monday.com is very easy and intuitive. Everything was well documented and easy to find. There were some limitations I found and problems I faced (see the next section), but the Monday developers are already fixing most of those problems.
Challenges I faced
Unfortunately, the whole process of building this app didn't go exactly as planned and it didn't go completely smooth. I faced my first big challenge when I was building my integration recipe. It was not really clear to me how I could create a dropdown menu in the sentence. I couldn't find it in the documentation, but luckily I got some help from the community. I found out that the example project contained exactly what I was looking for.
Another challenge I faced was also when I tried to build my integration recipe. I wanted to add two dropdown input fields to the sentence. When I clicked the first one, it loaded the list from my server, but the second one did not work and vice versa. I spent the whole day trying to fix this... Luckily, I got my answer after posting my question in the Monday.com community. It turned out to be a bug. Luckily, the Monday developers are already trying to fix this, so I hope I will be able to use more dropdowns in one integration recipe in the future.
Edit: This problem is already solved! This is great news, but it introduces a new problem for me. My problem now is that I cannot read the value of the first dropdown to dynamically change the value of the second dropdown based on the value of the first one. I really hope that this one will be fixed soon.
Before making my own integration, I tried some of the pre-built integrations from Monday. When I tried the GitHub integration for example, I really liked the fact that you can add the commit id, branch name or author name to the item in the integration recipe. To see the difference:
GitHub integration
,
CircleCI integration
. If you look at the bottom at the GitHub integration, you can see that you can also add a new column. I asked how to do those two things in the Monday community. Unfortunately, it turns out that this is still in development too.
It is really unfortunate that these two features are not yet ready. I think it will make my integration a lot better.
Since I'm still a beginner, I didn't really know where to host my server-side code. Also, since I'm still in high school, I don't have unlimited money to spend. Luckily there is Heroku. This was an easy way for me to host my code for very little money.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The part that I am most proud of is the look of the dashboard widget. I spent a lot of time thinking what I could do to make it look outstanding. I tried adding all kinds of images, icons and text effects, but I did not really like it. All those effects made it look too complex and unclear. In the end, I settled with a really simple look, but with a very cool hover effect. The simple look keeps it from distracting you, but the hover effect makes it look cool.
What's next for my app?
In the paragraph "Challenges I faced" you can read that there were some limitations for me. Not everything I wanted to build for my app was possible. For example, in the near future I hope to implement the second dropdown in the integration recipe, so the user can easily select the right workflow without the need to type it in. Another thing I will build when it is ready is the input field for the item that you want to create like the one they have at the GitHub integration.
For now, I made only one automation, because I think it is way more important for the user that the app is stable. I would love to make more automations for the user in the future based on user-feedback (for example the ability to start a build when an item has changed). This way, the integration gets more functionality.
Another thing I might add in the future is the ability to restart a build from within the dashboard widget.
Note: The GitHub repositories I added below do NOT contain any Firebase credentials, because of security reasons. This means that the code will not run unless you create your own Firebase instance and use your own credentials. You can always contact me if you need help.
This app is built for the marketplace, so everyone can use it.

We thought the Tracking time column is great to track the productivity of the team. Is great to see which process we can improve and better estimate times.
However, we found it is very easy to forget to start or stop the tier of the working tasks.
We also firmly believe that voice assistants are a great disruption candidates for this kind of tasks (stop and start timers).
They are easy and intuitive to use. That’s why we created an Alexa skill to allow Alexa start and stop tracking times of the tasks that you want via voice commands.
What it does
You have the ability to start or stop tracking time for a task on the go, no need to be close to your computer or even your phone JUST YOUR VOICE!
Steps to use the app:
1) Add a Start and Stop recipe in the Integration Center for the app Alexa Monday Timer
2) Enable the Monday Timer skill in your Alexa device or enable here (
https://www.amazon.com/Xavier-Perez-Monday-Timer/dp/B08G16981M/ref=sr_1_1
)
3) Start talking with Monday timer: Just say to your Alexa device: “Alexa, Open Monday Timer”
What you can do with this skill:
To stop tracking time for an item just say:
“Alexa, tell Monday Timer to stop tracking time for a task”
Or just say:
“Alexa, open Monday Timer”
If there are running tasks in your board, Alexa will tell you which tasks are running along with the current time for each task.
Then, you will have the opportunity to stop any of those running tasks.
To stop tracking time multiple items just say:
“Alexa, tell Monday Timer to stop tracking time for all of my tasks”
Monday Timer will see what tasks are running and it will stop them. That easy
To start tracking time for an item just say:
“Alexa, tell Monday Timer to start tracking time for a task”
Then you will have to tell Alexa what task you want to start. No hands!
To know the status of your running tasks just say:
“Alexa, ask Monday Timer information about my running tasks”
Monday timer will inform you of all the items that are running along with the time of each one.
How we built it
We created a AWS Lambda function that has the logic to read your board’s tasks, understand what task you want to start or stop and link it to Alexa capabilities.
Challenges we ran into
Understand how the Monday framework work
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud to have given your Monday.com board a voice
What we learned
We learned the foundations on how to build Monday.com apps
What's next for Alexa Task Timer
There are many things that we could improve and add to the app. Like supporting Amazon Fire TV, or to add more features to the app.

Our Logo
Inspiration
A C level manager in a big organization (The Israeli scouts) that is a friend of us - asked us to help solve his problem.
He is attending a lot of meetings within the organization, but it's difficult for him to create a good summary.
We want to help managers and their teams to get the most from their meetings.
What it does
It helps you create a smart meeting summaries. It analyzes the summary you wrote, and help you create the action items automatically.
In addition to that, Meetee creates a PDF summary from your meeting that can be shared with other participants.
How we built it
We started by building a prototype and gave it to our friend (A stand-alone app) from the Israeli scouts. His organization started working with Meetee and we started to gather feedback and improve it. After more than 10 different versions we found the right spot and opportunity to create a powerful tool using Monday Apps technology.
Challenges we ran into
As always at the beginning people weren't getting any value, we created a product that was too complicated to use and the users weren't returning. Now after talking with early adaptors we fixed some issues and we have a stable and valuable version live.
You can find out more by looking at a Facebook post we published at Monday.community group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/dapulseaddicts/permalink/1639760136191819/
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The first user that actually used it and got value from it (Attached as a file).
Our Facebook post showed a lot of traction and a lot of Monday users were very enthusiastic to use our app.
More than 30 companies/organizations asked to join the beta.
What we learned
We learned that less is more. We thought we need to build a big platform and a lot of features but then found that 2 very good features are enough.
We learned that data is important. We created a dashboard on our database to follow the metrics that will show us that we are improving - and will help us get data-driven decisions.
What's next for Meetee
We are eager to reach more users on Monday and get from them as much feedback that we can.
As for our technology, we are always developing our "brain" and implementing more techniques for him to learn how to summarize and create smarter action items.
In the future, we are releasing some more features that will be part of our product and we tend to implement our technology in other platforms.

Using our Monday.com Dashboard widget, Item View widget or Glances browser extension, quickly view contextual customer data within Monday
See the Item Widget in action! Access your customer data from your other SaaS apps directly within Monday.com
Inspiration
For most of my professional career, I've created software integrations. A customer, client or employer needs CRM synced to the help desk software, and the help desk needs to sync to the task management system, and billing system synced with marketing system, etc. etc.
Fortunately, over the years iPaaS solutions like Zapier have come along and greatly simplified the syncing and workflow automation side of integration, but that's only HALF of a great integration.
The other equally important half is having the ability to SEE your data from other systems wherever you're working. If you're working in Monday.com, you need to be able to see your data from CRM, billing, support desk, marketing, etc. to get your job done most efficiently without spending time switching tabs and searching for what you need.
Enter Glances. The singular customer view across all of your apps, available directly within Monday.com.
What it does
Glances lets you see all of your customer data from CRM, support desk, marketing, billing, etc. that is not stored in Monday.com directly within Monday.com so you can save time from having to find the right browser tab or constantly search for the data you need.
Glances also brings you a single global customer search bar, that allows you to search for your customers and customer data without having to open a new tab or go to a new app. Find and see everything need without leaving Monday.com.
You connect your apps, pick which views you want to see and within a couple minutes you can have all of your customer data visible within Monday.com. You can see your customer data using our app's dashboard widget, item view widget or the Glances browser extension.

10,382 | https://devpost.com/software/pokermonday | Inspiration
My inspiration for this application was after a team estimation session where I noticed how manual the process of collecting and collating estimates for a task was.
The aim for PokerMonday is to both gamify and quicken the estimation process. Integrating directly with Monday.com means there's no need to project managers to manually add the estimates back in to their tasks once sprint planning is complete.
What it does
PokerMonday is a tool that assists agile teams with task estimation.
A project manager picks tasks from their Monday board for the team to estimate.
Once picked the estimation session starts and team members can estimate on the task.
After all estimates are submitted the project manager can review them and select one to save back to Monday.com
How I built it
The frontend for PokerMonday in built on ReactJS.
The backend is a Python web server and the frontend uses websockets to communicate with it.
The application is hosted on Amazon Web Services - using CloudFormation for infrastructure as code
Challenges I ran into
I have not used web sockets before so getting them to both initially connect and remain stable provided a challenge.
This was further complicated when I started looking at hosting. AWS's Application Load Balancer has web socket support in theory, but in practice I found it unreliable. To work around this issue I swapped to a Network Load Balancer which operates at a lower layer in the OSI model (layer 4).
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am proud of the user interface. I think the cards are intuitive to use and have a pleasing style to them
I am also happy with how the socket service turned out. Sending the complete session 'state' for the application every update means any users who join late or disconnect and reconnect can immediately participate in the estimation.
What I learned
I learned quite a bit in the hackathon. I was able to research and utilize web sockets in a production-like application.
I also learned about graphql from the Monday API which I was not also unfamiliar with.
What's next for PokerMonday
There are many features I will be adding to PokerMonday after the hackathon:
Support for multiple project managers/admins controlling the estimation session
Update the user interface to fit in with Monday's native styling
Build more automated deployment process for updates to the application
Make app responsive for mobile devices

Inspiration
When working remotely with others from around the world, I've frequently had to google what time it is in other countries. It would be convenient to find out just by going straight to the dashboard.
What it does
Shows the time for all users right in the dashboard. Offers a filter just in case you have too many users and a button to see more information if needed.
How we built it
I used Monday's SDK to retrieve the users data and styled it accordingly with ReactJS
Challenges we ran into
I've ran into a problem with scopes and needing to set it correctly to retrieve the information I need when it comes to using the Monday SDK
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I've styled it exactly the way I envisioned it and added every feature that I think would be useful without being too bloated.
What we learned
Monday's SDK makes developing for the app seamless and extremely easy. I'm not sure if I really learned anything new other than a few new syntax.
What's next for Monday Current Time
For this app, I'm not sure. It feels complete to me. A feature I would like to add is include time in the filter just to see others in your timezone.

10,382 | https://devpost.com/software/team-member-of-the-day | The widget on a dashboard (with the 'most active' option also on).
Settings that allow you to show/hide the most active section and set background colors for each section.
The widget with just the Team Member of the Day feature turned on.
Inspiration
In this time of mostly virtual work, it's harder than ever to stay connected to, and involved with, your team. I wanted to build something that I could use as a gentle reminder for me to reach out to a different member of my team each day (especially those that I may not always have a lot of day-to-day communication with).
Also I wanted to provide a potentially fun, interesting reason for team members to look forward to logging into Monday.com each day.
What it does
On the first load of the dashboard widget each day, the system will automatically pick a random Team Member (who hasn't recently been picked) from the list of users associated to the viewers account.
If you have the 'most active' feature turned on, it will also use the Monday.com activity log to determine and highlight who was the most active member the prior day (potentially providing a fun & friendly daily competition among team members; and help drive interest/activity across all your boards).
How I built it
I built the service using a combination of a self hosted NodeJS site and the Monday.com SDK (with various GraphQL queries).
Challenges I ran into
It took me a little while to determine if this should be a board, a dashboard widget, or an integration (my initial efforts were as an integration, and I spent some time digging into the OAuth and API features before realizing most of what I wanted to accomplish could be done best as a Dashboard widget using the javascript Monday.com SDK).
I was not (yet) able to figure out how to use the settings options to allow for a specific, one-time, trigger to be manually fired (so the widget admin could manually request the Team Member of the Day to be changed immediately). Ultimately, I decided it wasn't a required feature for this initial version (so I left it out).
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I think I was able to find a good balance of simplicity and customization -- and I think the idea is a fun addition to any team dashboard or report.
What I learned
Monday.com already has a ton of features, customizations, and integrations readily available (most of my initial ideas/plans were already offered by the platform itself).
The difference between custom triggers, widgets, and integrations (and how to build something for each one).
GraphQL (at least the basics and the core features Monday.com takes advantage of).
What's next for Team Member of the Day
I would like to figure out how best to offer some additional administration features for the dashboard/widget owner. Ideally providing the ability to manually request the system pick someone new immediately; potentially providing some stats on how often each member is picked over time.
Potentially offering a few other features/ways to highlight a team member each day (such as most assigned/biggest workload today).
Potential design updates/tweaks (making it more visually exciting/fun).
Potentially allow for alerting (so team members can be alerted when they are selected as the Team Member of the Day).
Potentially linking the Team Member of the Day to a report or custom board that provides some additional information/details about the user and everything they are currently working on.

Mobile QR Code scanner
Recipe for the integration
What our app does
Our App tracks orders and assets with QR Code.
Each Monday.com item is associated with a unique QR Code, and the status can be updated by any worker with a smartphone, without installing an app.
It saves time and avoids mistakes.
How it works and how we can implement it in a Monday.com account
The Board View converts statuses in a board into QR Codes.
The integration creates a tracking QR Code in a file column when an item is created.
When the user scans the QR Code of the item (order, asset...), he is redirected to a scanner, and scans the QR Code of the corresponding status to update the board automatically.
A second recipe allows the use of "free text" QR Codes, that are generated in the Ubiqod backend. In this case, a text column is updated with the content of the Code. For instance, it is a useful way of tracking of the position of an asset in a building.
A
free Ubiqod account
is requested in order to run the integration.
Inspiration
We decided to build this App for our customers and for our own team.
We already provide solutions (IoT) to help factories and warehouses optimise their work process (even with rocket makers!). We integrate with many production systems like ERPs, but, most of the time, they are very hard / complicated to use, not intuitive at all, and expensive. Recently, we received a RFQ to track large orders in an industrial sector. We felt that Monday.com could be a much better alternative to the already existing solutions, and that's why we decided to take on the challenge in order to make it a reality.
On the other hand, we have been Monday.com users for years now, and our production manager wanted to find a way to update order statuses internally, without having to do it manually on the PC. After seeing a lot of sales rep from various systems, we are proud to say that our App will do the job better!
Impact
When we first showed our idea to customers, we realized that combining the great UX of Monday.com with the simplicity of QR Codes could really change the game in the manufacturing, logistics and process sectors. We believe that this could even compete with ERPs in many use cases.
How we built (our solution), what we learned and challenges we faced
We had never used Monday.com API before. Therefore, even if we were really familiar with the tool, we had to learn. We followed all the technical webinars, asked for the feedback of the Monday.com team... We are active on the community site. We really enjoyed participating as a team.
Of course, we had a good background to begin with, especially in Node.js, which helped to build a robust and secured solution.
The main challenge was to offer a solution that could be used by all workers, not only by people that are familiar with IT tools.

10,382 | https://devpost.com/software/burndown-chart-view | Inspiration
When browsing through the Inspiration tab, I noticed that someone really wanted a burndown chart, so I set out to create one for them. After looking at the existing apps on monday.com, I did not see anything that was able to visualize a chart of a board's items and their statuses through time. So, that made me think that this would be a worthwhile app to make.
What it does
This app takes the board's user created items and graphs them on a line chart. When an item is created, the number of remaining items to complete increases. When an item's status transitions to the "Done" status, the number of remaining items to complete decreases. The graph supports a variety of customizations including line color, stroke width, start and end dates of the items, status column, item weight column, and completion statuses. When your mouse hovers over the chart, it displays a helpful tooltip on which item caused the change in the remaining items and the item's status at that moment in time. Additionally, the burndown chart respects the user and item filters at the top of the board view.
How I built it
I used React in order to build this. I utilized the recharts library in order to handle graphing the data and I used the monday.com v2 api in order to fetch the necessary information about the board and its items.
Challenges I ran into
Originally, I wanted to make a burndown chart for an individual group of items. However, the api did not make it easy to get all the items in a group and the group specific activity logs. So, I had to settle for the chart of the whole board. Also, I had to learn more about the monday.com api and understand how people use the website, since I do not normally use monday.com. Also, I don't think that there is a built in idea of a "sprint" so I had to improvise. Usually a burndown chart starts at a particular time and ends at a particular time, but I did not find anything that fit my needs and did not require the user to add a custom field on their items.
After I made the app public, I asked some people for feedback and they were able to point me in the path to make the chart more usable for users. Previously, the only customizable options were the line color and stroke width. But after the feedback and more thought, I realized that one of the best parts about monday.com is how customizable it can be. This led me to make sure that the user could select different columns and options for the burndown chart.

The idea of this project was to help automate the needs of users who deal with international businesses daily and have to manually convert and feed into a column or use google searches for finding out.
What it does
Currency Converter
is to be connected to two columns.
FROM
is the base currency in which you operate,
TO
is the desired currency to which you want to convert the currency. The app gets the value from the board using GraphQL API and gets the exchange rate from third party API (AlphaVantage).
How I built it
To get the name of the currency, the user needs to name the column with the currency symbol (USD, EUR, ...) or The last three letters of the column_name should be the currency symbol.
Challenges I ran into
Asynchronous code.

Chart view - visual comparison of assessment scores.
Roobrick updates a column with assessment summaries
Inspiration
The benefits of rubrics are widely recognised with the academic community, but less so in business.
Roobrick
unleashes the power of rubrics through a modern web application and the app created under this submission brings this power to monday.com users.
What it does
Monday.com board items can represent all kinds of things. In many cases, items may represent something that needs to be assessed in some way. For example, a manager might have an board managing the career development of their employees. If each item in the board represents and employee, then it's likely that one of the columns may provide an assessment of the employee's current capabilities. The Roobrick app provides a view allowing the user to create assessments for each employee. As the user enters assessment information, the app automatically updates any text column with the assessment summary.
The app also provides a chart mode allowing the assessments of all board items to be visually compared.
The app allows any rubric to be chosen. Roobrick provides a number of generic rubrics, but users can also create their own. Here are some example types of assessments that can be made:
Manage job interviews in monday.com and assess the candidates using the
job interview rubric
or your organisation custom job interview rubric.
Defining OKRs is difficult. For a board summarising OKRs, use the app to assess the quality with which the OKRs are defined.
Conduct a competitive analysis where each competitor is evaluated against a gold standard represented by a rubric.
How I built it
Rubric is a ReactJS single page app with Google Firebase cloud functions providing back end services. It was easy to extend this to support the addition of the monday.com view functionality.
I used monday.com's storage features to store all the configuration information and assessments in monday.com. This means that customers do not need to be worried that their data is egressing to another system.
Challenges I ran into
I am only on monday.com's basic plan which is limited in functionality and hampered the exploration of monday.com's features. It also deterred me from developeing feeatures that can only be accessed by a paid plan because I would not be able to reproduce related issues unless I was willing to pay for the same plan.
I would like to have built a dashboard that summarises assessment information, but the monday.com storage model does not allow data to be retrieved when not in the context of the board.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The Roobrick app's user interface looks exactly like monday.com which results in a smoother user experience.
What I learned
I leanrt a lot about monday.com and would definitely recommend other developers build apps for it.
What's next for Roobrick integration with monday.com
I have listed the app on monday.com's marketplace and will be interested to hear from any feedback and make improvements as necessary.

Spellchecker Integration
Inspiration
In business, first impressions matter. As teams and businesses continue to utilize digital communication more and more, it is imperative that digital writing be accurate, precise, and reliable. Nothing speaks "unprofessional" quite like numerous misspellings within an email. As such, I hope that the Spellchecker integration proves to be a useful tool in the Monday.com ecosystem.
What it does
The Spellchecker integration checks a specified text column for any misspellings and "autocorrects" appropriately
How I built it
The main functionality is provided using the "typo-js" Javascript module as well as using the Monday API to read and write data to the desired board.
Challenges I ran into
I initially ran into some issues regarding data types when using the Monday API. Thankfully, after some troubleshooting and experimentation, I was able to locate the problem.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
My experience with Javascript is a bit limited, so I am quite proud that I was able to develop a full-fledged project utilizing it.
What I learned
While Javascript is not my programming language of choice, I did gain a greater appreciation for all of the web development capabilities that is possesses and the ease at which one can visualize data.
What's next for Spellchecker
Should Spellchecker be successful, I hope to implement even more "smart" features to make the autocorrect feature even more accurate as well as add punctuation functionality.

10,383 | https://devpost.com/software/melanomore-js02lq | Center your camera over the blemish/mole you suspect to be Melanoma!
Our model will let you know whether its a harmless benign mole or a potentially fatal Melanomatous tumor!
The architecture of the neural network we built
95.77% accuracy on test data !!
!! Disclaimer in our app !!
Inspiration
Recently, one of our teammates' close friend was diagnosed with stage 2 Melanoma and was told that if he hadn't acted faster, it would've progressed to stage 3 and he'd only have a 60% chance of surviving. When asked why he didn't consult a doctor earlier, he said that he had given himself the benefit of the doubt, and chose to believe that it was just a normal mole as he didn't want to make a trip to the doctors just for a "mole". Because of this big mistake, he ended up being diagnosed with stage 2 Melanoma.
After doing some research on Melanoma, we found that in most cases, Melanoma was virtually indistinguishable from a natural blemish or mole. Furthermore, Melanoma is one of the most common cancers in the world, affecting more than 100,000 Americans every year. It is so prevalent due to the fact that many believe that Melanoma tumors are just moles or blemishes, and choose to ignore it. For this reason, we decided to build an intuitive app that is able to distinguish between melanomatous tumors from benign moles (And it has a 95.7% accuracy!).
By bringing this technology readily available on your phone, people will be less inclined to ignore the symptoms of Melanoma.
What it does
MelaNoMo' is an app that uses advanced deep learning and computer vision techniques to distinguish between malignant melanoma and benign moles/blemishes/skin defects. Because it is nearly impossible to distinguish by eye in most cases, the only other orthodox method used for a proper diagnosis is shave biopsies which have a reported accuracy rate as high as 95% (
source
). Our app has reported a test accuracy of 95.77%, which surpasses that of the shave biopsy, and takes a fraction of the time for results to be returned.
How we built it
We built our deep learning neural network using PyTorch. Our neural network consists of 30 fully connected layers, with nearly 2,000,000 parameters in total. The input layer is a normal 3x3 convolution layer, and is followed by 6 blocks that each consist of a depthwise separable 3x3 convolution layer, a batch normalization layer, an inseparable 1x1 convolution layer, followed by another batch normalization layer. It is then fed through a global average pooling layer, then finally through a linear layer which outputs to either "melanoma" or "not melanoma". We trained our deep learning model for 100 epochs which took around 8 hours, but left us with 95.77% accuracy on the test set. For our frontend, we used java to create an android app. The frontend and model are connected by a flask server through http requests.
Challenges we ran into
Because of the time restraints we were given for this hackathon, one of our biggest challenges was developing a model that would actually be able to distinguish between things that are impossible by eye, as well as training it to high accuracy. Within the first 24 hours, we built our first model, however, it kept throwing errors such as gpu memory limitations. Even after we fixed the previous model, it would train very slowly (70% accuracy after nearly an hour). To fix this issue, we then did some research into depthwise separable convolution layers, and implemented it into our model. Because of the change, we were able to train a large model within the time constraints we were given.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are quite proud of developing a model that has higher accuracy than that of the most common and modern way of diagnosing Melanoma. As well, it can return a diagnosis in an instant, unlike the weeks needed to receive results from a shave biopsy.
What we learned
We learned a lot about the medical and healthcare fields, and how deep learning can be applicable, and sometimes even be better than the most common diagnoses. We've only scratched the surface, but in the future, we plan to learn more about how deep learning can be applied to the fields, and how we can make a difference.
What's next for MelaNoMo'
For the next step, we plan on releasing it onto the app store so that the app is available to everybody.

Inspiration
We all knew family and friends who were not taking COVID-19 seriously and were not taking adequate safety measures, insisting that they wouldn't make a difference and that the whole thing would blow over eventually. We’ve found some simple simulations online, but most of them are not very detailed and don't allow the user to interact with the program. On top of that, we have a custom-made machine learning model to predict future infection rates. We’ve adapted it to more accurately predict an epidemic than classic machine learning models.
We decided to make a simulation that could convince people through a simple User Interface and visual representation of data that preventative measures pay off against disease spread.
What it does
Simulates disease spread among a system of communities and how precautionary measures can make a huge difference, as well as provides information in the form of a website.
How I built it
My team and I collaborated in repl.it to write the main bulk of the java program; we then split into two groups: one refining the java simulation and one creating the website around it.
Challenges I ran into
There were a plethora of times when positioning of buttons and sliders did not go as planned due to the panning feature changing the relative origin of the canvas.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The simulation of particle systems was particularly hard to implement, and the general formatting of the page took quite some time to accomplish. The machine learning algorithms predicting the graph trends were our greatest feat in terms of results, difficulty, and new learning required to accomplish it.
What I learned
How to derive machine learning algorithms related to an epidemic, how relative canvas origin works in processing, and how to make a system of particles interact using physics and vectors. We all also learned a lot about class inheritance and nested classes while implementing the particles class as part of the communities class.
What's next for Simulation-Charter-Hacks-
We are hoping to add greater customization complexity and options, as well as to polish off the User Interface to make it more seamless and presentable. We were also thinking of refining the machine learning algorithms to increase their accuracy, as well as adding more variables to be calculated such as herd immunity. The ability for the user to zoom in and out of the web page and simulation itself is another thing that we plant to add. Eventually, we were going to port this to an app as well so that we can gain a user base and improve it based off of feedback.

Main MEnu
Fighting a virus in the distance
Playing the game
After reading the theme I thought of an fps game fighting against viruses but I also wanted more so I added a tower defense aspect.
You fight as a white blood cell with a shotgun against killer Viruses that target your brain, you can use in game currency to buy bone marrow who will produce more white blood cells to fight for you. If the Virus reaches your brain it weakens the brain. If a virus reaches your bone marrow, it will infect the bone marrow, using it as a host cell, and produce more viruses.
I used Unity and C# in visual studio to program this. I used Unity's pro builder feature to create the 3d models for all of the things show in game.
It was complicated figuring out how I wanted to deploy the bone marrow. Whether it should be deployed from a distance or thrown but I landed on just making it where the player stands for ease of code due to time restraint.
I'm proud of what I got done in the time spent making. I added noises, animations, raycasting, lighting, and even cool fonts with a detailed tutorial.
I learned how hard it is to create a game in a time constraint and how to pace myself.
I would like to add Bacteria, and Lymph nodes as more towers and more enemies with unique abilities to further enchance the game. Also background music which I did not ahve a chance to add.

We were inspired by the current world health situation to create something that could help people stay safe by simulating common decisions
What it does
Through the game you use buttons to make choices. Some choices are higher risk and mean you have a higher chance of being exposed. The choices you make lead to new ones and the are a multitude of ways to complete the game. The three endings tell if you had a high, medium, or low risk of exposure based on ur choices.
How I built it
Me and my team combined our skills to create a website (not currently published) to download the game and the game itself coded with java as an applet that can be ran.
Challenges I ran into
We had many small challenges with bits of code not working but our main problem in the beginning was that the browser we were using did not support applets built into the website so we spent more time redesigning the web page to be a download page.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
My team and I are proud that even with little to no coding experience we were able to combine our knowledge and create something that worked and made sense.
What I learned
I personally learned more about designing websites and creating download features, but more importantly as a team we learned more about teamwork, new skills from each other, and how to communicate well even when we are separate.
What's next for Covid Simulation Game
Our Game definitely could use improvement and we hope that soon as we learn more about coding we might be able t form into something that people actually want to play and something that really helps.

To help school districts keep record of how many people are in a room at one time, I came up with Social Schools. I used EchoAr, a 3D cloud platform used to build AR and VR apps. When a student scans the marker using their phone, an object depending on the classroom and school will appear. It notifies the teachers and administration another student has entered the classroom. Social School's goal is to provide a rough estimate of whether the social distancing procedure is working or not. Some challenges that I faced include figuring out how to incorporate the metadata to help increase the size of the AR object (scale). In addition, this was my first time using echoAR.

About the app
Abstract
Introducing Not Me, a contact tracing app, and the only contact tracing app that doesn't need to know any of your personal information. In Most U.S. states, there is either no contact tracing, or contact tracing is done through calls. This leaves a lot of room for errors, and many people forget where they have been. Think about it, do you remember where you were 5 days ago? A contact tracing app reduces the chances for errors. If even one positive person uses a contact tracing app, they could save hundreds of lives. But most people don't like using a contact tracing app because they worry about their privacy. We are trying to fix this. Why should a person have to decide between saving lives and their privacy? So we made Not Me.
What the app does
Not Me is a contact tracing app like no other. Most contact tracing apps require data like your address, your phone number, your email, and sometimes even your government id. Not me doesn't require any of that. It just takes your location (NOTE to Judges, we have disabled tracking because we don't want to know where you live). You don't even need to provide any other information, and your location is anonymous, we don't know who you are. You can view and edit all your data at your comfort, and if you don't want us to know a specific place you have been, you can delete it at the click of a button.
About the code
This is a flask app, and it is a web dashboard. It will connect with your phone (not included with the app), and will follow CDC's guidelines on how to track.
Questions
What is the purpose of your app and how does it address the prompt?
The purpose of our app is to provide people with the service of contact tracing that doesn't infringe on their privacy. This addresses the prompt of Covid-19, health, and healthcare because our contact tracing could help save many lives and stop the spread of Covid-19. Since our contact tracing protects people's privacy, this effectively means that more people would be willing to use contact tracing and therefore save lives.
Who is the audience of your app and who will be using it?
The audience of our app is the general public and they are the very same people who will be using it. We want as many people as possible to use the app so that our data can be as specific as possible in giving people information on whether or not they could have been infected.
What challenges did you overcome in making your project?
One of the biggest challenges we encountered, was having Google's API to work in our web app. We also had a lot of trouble in getting our login and register pages to work properly while also being secure. Finally, the biggest problem we encountered was trying to finish our project on time. It was really difficult to stick to the many schedules that we made and there was a lot of stress and anxiety involved when problems showed up that forced us off our tight schedule. Due to this, we had to remove some functionalities and decide what was core to our app.

Coronavirus related news overwhelming us. So many dashboard are there, unfortunately very few has the study in depth. I built this web site using mathematic SIR/SEIR/MSEIR model, and also stochastic branching model to study all countries and regions in the world. Typically, researchers use one model just study one or two countries, then publish a scientific paper on peer reviewed journals. I am using all models available, plus one model I invented myself, to study all the countries in the world, and publish the results to my website.
What it does
my website JackWu.us is built on huge data collected from varies sources, then integrated into SQL database, then I use Python to do deep study and machine learning to analyze the data. My project did forecasting using 4 different types of tool:
Statistics: I calculated moving average, Bollinger bands
Machine Learning: I did linear regression, logistic regression, differential equation solution regress, curve fitting
Compartment model: I did ODE/PDE curve fitting
Stochastic Branching: I did numeric simulation.
My own model: my own model can predict the second wave of covid-19, and also according to the model parameters to classifying the countries into 4 different groups.
How I built it
I built it from collecting the data, integrating the data, to presenting the data, modelling the data, training the data, all the way to predict data, use SQL database, Python Panda, NumPy, SciPy, to Microsoft Asp.net MVC and webpages, also Chart.js to make graphs
Challenges I ran into
It seems none of the existing model is good enough. Covid-19 is very difficult to predict. There are so many factors there, anyhow, partial differential equation, plus stochastic process, plus machine learning methods, make the model better and better
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Huge tons of jobs done in a short of time although not perfect. I will continue working on it.
What I learned
Work under pressure and deliver on time.

Cease is a Web Application that provides a safe, inclusive environment for people to discuss and help others move past thier addiction.
Inspiration
While watching the news, I noticed stories regarding the rise in addiction relapses due the onset of COVID-19.
This information drew my interest because I personally knew someone who was trying to quit smoking. After doing some research,
I learned that up to 90% of adults who are have a substance abuse disorder want to quit.
Because the theme of this event is based around health,
this application aims to help people across the world with the struggle against addiction.
What I've Learned
While building this app I gained many valuable insights. Some of the technologies I learned include React, Augmented Reality, and Machine Learning (to create a chat bot implementation).
Aside from technology-related skills, I also learned about different types of addiction and substance abuse disorders, as well as how to prevent them.
Challenges
During the creation process, the biggest challenges I faced were the Machine learning and Frontend Framework, React. I found Machine Learning to be a hurdle because understanding how
the mechanics, such as cost functions and back propagation, were difficult. Learning react was another hurdle because I have recently just started studying the documentation.
What's Next
In the future, I plan to implement a passport login system, making the site more secure. Furthermore, ReCapta will be added to the register page to prevent bots from interfering with the site

10,383 | https://devpost.com/software/covid-data-by-zip-code | Inspiration
The inspiration for this project is from the countless number of lives that are being lost, and the whole concept of social distancing which prevents these deaths in a large scale when everyone works together. Responsibility during these times is very important, so this is what inspired us.
What it does
What the project does, is it takes in input in a text box on the homepage, which then gathers data about the zip code, and printing out a graph showing the overall trend of the covid cases in that zip code.
How I built it
Our team built this by using Flask, as the web framework which we then used python to work with the data, and finally we used html to show the data.
Challenges I ran into
Some challenges we ran into is with the making of this app, as we started off using node.js which we thought would be good to use for our project, but since it is very hard to work with node.js with python as the backend, we switched over to flask for a more efficient way of working.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Some accomplishments that are team is proud of, is finding an alternative to node.js, flask, because it took us a long time, and it was very frustrating using node.js
What I learned
We learned how to use flask, and how to use python and html much better, we also learned that node.js was not a good choice.
What's next for COVID Data by Zip-Code
Our project has many more things that we could've added, as we could make the UI much more cleaner, and we could add multiple graphs, and have a whole site of just covid data to be as minimalistic as possible, while at the same time add the most amount of data possible to remain minimalistic.

Our inspiration comes mainly from the ongoing pandemic and our love of games. We wanted to make a game that was educational, but also fun! Our goal was to expand COVID-19 knowledge to a younger audience through unique gameplay.
What it does
Co-opvid is at heart a trivia game, and we made sure it is both unique and simple to play. When you go onto our site, you'll see a how-to play collapsible, a "create a game" box, and a lobby that shows you any game that you can join. Each game is composed of eight questions (multiple choice), and there are two teams (automatically assigned), unless the user decides to play on his or her own. The goal of each game is to fill in the missing letters of a word by answering COVID-related questions. If you get the question correct, one letter will go into the right spot. However, if you get it wrong, an incorrect letter will go into that spot. You can use the previous letters to help you guess if you can't narrow the answer down to one choice. A team's score is determined by the team's accuracy and speed.
How we built it
We built the front end with plain HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript. We built the backend with node.js and the socket.io library. Using socket.io made the live communication between the server and the client very straightforward. To organize all the questions, we made a spreadsheet with the questions and the correct answer along with the distraction choices. We exported this as a .csv file and used a node.js module to import it as a json file.
Challenges we ran into
Our biggest impediment was writing the code. Figuring out a way to have different games all running at the same time, while also keeping track of the score to give an end screen, proved to be a challenge. Also, the sheer amount of questions we had to think of and fact-check was daunting. We spent a lot of time thinking about what a fun and approachable, yet unique, multiplayer trivia game should look like.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Making the game work properly, of course! We also are proud of our simple UI and the variety of questions we have.
What we learned
We learned a lot about cooperation and working together as a team. We also had a lot of fun. Everyone improved their coding skills and became more knowledgable about COVID-19 and health in general.
What's next for Co-opvid
If we improve on Co-opvid, we will add a user system where you can login. This could allow us to implement a scoreboard or rating system. Additionally, we would allow long term users to submit their own questions and answers. These would be fact checked and put into the question list. Finally, a more sophisticated game creation system would be implemented. You could create private games, manage how many teams there are, etc.

This is the page to view and create posts.
Inspiration
This project was the result of our group being desired to create an application that uses communication to solve problems. Reddit's method of communication among users was greatly influential in the thought process of creating an application where users can read and view posts. We decided to create a simple intuitive and accessible application where users can post information regarding health and medicine.
What it does
Asclepius is a site for users to communicate tips regarding best health and medical practices. In this site, users can read and post news, advice and information regarding the world of health and medicine including but not limited to food diets that actually work, health insurance advice, warnings about locations or businesses that have unsanitary or unhygienic conditions and more.
How I built it
HTML and CSS were used to create the layout and style of the pages of the website respectively. Python and Flask were used to make the website dynamic. Finally, JSON files were used to store data.
Challenges I ran into
Our group started the project with an overly ambitious attitude, and we later on realized that we had to cut back on features that we desired to include in order to realistically finish the project before the deadline.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Our group is proud of creating a dynamic website with a stylish design.
What I learned
We improved in our knowledge of programming technologies, most noticeably JSON and especially Flask.
What's next for Asclepius
If this product was to scale, this application would probably have features like comments and user profiles.

New Technologies, unpredicted global pandemic, countless helpless Covid patients, etc, What can I do? The only thing I can do, besides sitting at home, is to build something to fight back, using the most advanced technologies, that's the reason I am trying to build a centralized website for medical organizations, pharmaceutical companies, doctors, patients to communicate the latest development on the drug development for coronavirus.
What it does
My health system is a full fledged health system for patients, doctors, hospital administors, medical researchers, to record, track,analyze medical data. you can use this system to register patient, make an appointment, assign doctors for the appointment, and also prescribe treatment, click patients to view patients list.
Our health system is also a good machine learning system. It can detect any discrepancies in the treatments based on knowledge based data. It immediately shows that antibiotics are appropriate for the fever, Remdesivir is of no use here, and the patient’s stroke does not have any treatment. Big data is much more helpful for collecting data to improve our system automatically.
How I built it
For most accessible for the maximum population on earth, I figured that a web site is the most convenient tool. Therefore I built a web site for this project.
The first step is ETL (Extract, Transform, Load). I integrated data from different sources, different formats, into a normalized central database.
After that, I use database first design model to convert all database tables, views, into c# entity objects.
The 3rd step is write c# code for all adding, listing, updating, deleting operations,
the final step is to build the whole website based on this model.
Challenges I ran into
First challenge is the Data integration, how to integrate different data from different sources, and normalized them
2nd challenge is the Accuracy vs Speed. Traditional OLTP keeps the data integrity but slow, NoSQL is fast but integrity broken down. I solve this dilemma in design, to use OLTP for ACID operations, while use NoSQL for reporting
3rd challenge is to make web pages more user friendly, I’m still working on user interface engineering to maximize usability and the user experience
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
My website is not a prototype, not a toy. It's a full fledged running application with huge real data collected. I hope some people will benefit from it

Purpose
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Inspiration
In a world where COVID-19 prevails, phrases like "Stay 6 feet apart" (or 1+ meter apart for metric countries) and "No entry without masks" have been plastered all over the walls of health facilities, educational institutions, public buildings, and grocery stores. Preventative measures against this virus has become the norm, whether people like it or not. As businesses are reopening with specific guidelines for COVID-19, people are finding it difficult to properly and accurately distance themselves. In situations where people are forced to be in contact with each other, but still want to practice safe social distancing, our app, Stay Away From Me, can arguably be a
life
saving tool.
What SAFM does
The Stay Away From Me (SAFM) app is a diffusion tool that works similar to molecules in a solution to create a uniform gradient. Using this app, people would efficiently move to positions that optimize the "safe distance" between each other. The app utilizes Bluetooth technology to find signal strengths (Received Signal Strength Indicator: RSSI) and uses that to measure the distance between a user and the nearest mobile device. SAFM has a responsive indicator gauge that will change colors based on that distance with red indicating that you are getting nearer to someone. To support a diverse set of users, SAFM has support for the 7 most common languages on campus.
Features
Cross platform: works on iOS and Android
Bluetooth technology
Linear progression distance gauge with visual feedback using RSSI
Multi-language support: English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Hindi, Arabic, and French
View the source code:

🔨 SAFM is built with:
Dart
Flutter
Affinity Design
Final Cut Pro (for demo video)
Challenges we ran into
Bluetooth technology is not directional (yet) and finding the exact location of the nearest device requires triangulation. However, there might be some issues relating to privacy if we were to explore this challenge more.
Material objects like a wall or a protective screen is not integrated in to Bluetooth's scanning capabilities. A user can be within another user's safe space, but protected by a wall or a screen.
Emulators do not support Bluetooth technology and ensuring that both devices are supported, the app had to be deployed on a physical device.
Setting up framework, IDE, and environment packages were longer than expected, consuming a lot of time that could have been used for debugging. Thankfully, all team members were accommodating and understanding.
App deployment to debug and test Bluetooth technology was limited to one member.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to quickly create an app with members from varying skill levels!
The liquid linear progress indicator implementation was particularly exciting, as one could see in realtime how changing physical distance can change its colors and "progress level."
Supporting different languages other than English was something we wanted to include to support a diverse number of users.
Learning together as a team created an exponential growth of programming skills. Some might even say that it was better than traditional learning.
What we learned
We were all coming from different levels of experiences, so each individual had their own notes:
August
: I learned how to install Flutter and Dart extensions on VScode and Android Studio. I learned how to deploy an app using Xcode and Flutter. I learned how to push/pull/merge with git. I learned about how user friendly VScode is and how Flutter's hot reload and hot restart makes everything much easier to debug and test. I learned how to comment on a pull request (while attempting to review/approve a pull request) and then I learned to review/approve and merge a pull request from a collaborator on github! I learned that installation and setting up the environment is 3/4s of the battle.
Ryan
: The biggest thing I learned was how to properly utilize git and github. Until now, I had only ever developed large projects by myself or an occasional partner. Having now worked with 3 others on a project, each of us updating our own code, I can see how hectic it would get without proper version control. I also learned a good deal about deploying to iOS and how annoying it can be, in regards to coordinating compatibility for iOS, macOS, Xcode, Flutter packages, etc. Finally, I am now better at researching and understanding the documentation of third-party packages that give you the ability to use features that my not be native to your platform.
Anj
: This project introduced me to the process of app development, which I had no prior experience with. With the help of my teammates I learned how to install and use flutter/dart to create a user interface, how to collaborate on software projects using github, and how to clone and manipulate github repositories on Xcode in order to work on sections of the app independently. In addition to technical skills, I also got a general feel for the app building workflow and all that goes into environment set up.
Micah
: It was great getting to work with a team of people, as my work and school projects are often solo. I had some prior experience with Flutter and Dart, and this project helped me to dive a bit deeper into Flutter and enhance my mobile development skills to create a very exciting project. I learned how to change data into a form that can be visualized through a progress meter, learned how to add support for various languages, and got to practice with responsive design, app preferences, streaming data and Bluetooth technology. I also got to take a deeper dive into managing state across the app, to make sure only the correct widgets are rebuilt when the app state changes.
What's next for Stay Away From Me
Due to the variability of BLE signals, our current formula for calculating distance from RSSI values could use some work. Spikes and dips in signal strength can lead to sudden changes in distance that aren't accurate. Though we tried to mitigate that by taking an average of recent RSSI values, there is definitely room for improvement. Additionally, there may be differences in signal strength between different devices that could be measured and accounted for within our distance formula.
While we are proud that we were able to internationalize our app through translated text, we would also like to add semantic markup to improve accessibility.

Journal Entries Page
New Journal Page
Journal Page Mobile
Inspiration
When our team was discussing ways in which we can implement a health-related app, we focused on mental health. The pandemic has caused a surge in need for psyche therapy, and now more than ever, we are in need of possessing abilities to take care of our mental health on a daily basis, so came the idea for diarist.
What it does
Diarist is a journaling app that allows one to make an account to then track their journal entries. Each entry contains a section for a title, body, and a question about any current goals. On top of that, diarist asks the user how they were feeling on the day of the entry, and whether or not the user exercised. We believe these daily check-ins will allow a user to understand themselves better, and keep track of how well they are taking care of themselves physically.
How we built it
We broke up into teams for front-end and back-end development. The website front-end UI was designed with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with some components being make with the Bootstrap framework to allow for responsive and snazzy designs.
To get the website up and running we used Flask with SQL-alchemy for the user and journal databases. To allow for secure sign-ups and logins, we used bcrypt to encrypt user data, and Fernet to create secret key tokens.
Challenges we ran into
We had some conflicts arise from Git and GitHub, and the page layout using CSS and Bootstrap was hard to implement at first. We also found that designing custom components was a difficult and time-consuming task.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Having a deployed web app built from scratch!
The pages have some nice responsive design.
Data is stored and retrieved from the database.
What we learned
We learned how to use some new frameworks, collaborate with Git, and set up working environments.
What's next for Diarist
The future is boundless for Diarist.
There are some core features missing for a text app like editing, deleting, and formatting.
The journal UI can be further enhanced with API's and more health based tracking metrics.
Accessibility is also something we need to add to the website, especially for screen readers.

Food before med push notification
Inspiration
Remembering to take all your medications at the right times can be a challenge. Further complicating the matter, some medications should be taken a short period after consuming food, but not immediately...like... eat a meal, wait thirty minutes, and go take your med, but don't forget now that you're sleepy from eating.
We're here to help!
Check out our demo gif on our github:
https://github.com/JoJaJones/tiMED
Or, try running the app yourself, either on a physical device or in the Android emulator:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IjklJ6s8W-Hx55Xzc4MDUaCShHrX4bZB/view?usp=sharing
What it does
Our app, tiMED, runs on Android mobile phones and assists users in remembering to take their medications. Users can simply add basic information about each of their medications, including the name, dose size, doses per day, refills remaining, etc, and we will not only remind the user when it is time to take each medication (or remind the user to eat some food shortly and remind them again after a short period to take their med), but tiMED will also notify the user when they should request a refill for each medication! Our reminders are sent to the user in the form of push notifications.
How we built it
We built tiMED using Kotlin and the Android SDK. Due to the time constraint of the project and the simplicity of data in the app, to persist data, we opted to read and write from JSON files in favor of using a local or remote database.
Additional tools we used include Android Studio, the Android Emulator, and Github for distributed version control.
Challenges we ran into
Out of our three team members, none of us had much experience with Android app development. While Josh had completed an online tutorial using Kotlin and the Android SDK, Alex and Dane were completely new to these technologies. As a result, everything from just getting the project started to creating a working Android app was challenging!
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Despite having negligible Android app development experience, we're proud to have delivered a working app in such a small amount of time, that actually looks and works pretty good! Additionally, we're proud to have the courage to take on a project with so many unknowns and still complete the project on time.
What we learned
While we all certainly learned a great deal about Kotlin, the Android SDK, and the basics of Android app development, we all agree that the biggest lesson we learned is not to be afraid of jumping straight into trying new tools and technologies. We all grew as developers not only by collaborating with and learning from one another but also by learning how to effectively work on a project with multiple developers involved.
What's next for tiMED
We have mapped out a path we would like to take with our project.
Step 1
The first step is to make various improvements to the actual app. We plan to migrate data storage to a local SQLite database on the user's device. This will improve the persisted data structure and effectively allow us to add more features to the app. Moreover, we would like to give the user a little more control and customization over editing existing timers, beyond delaying or skipping the next med dose. Various other planned features we would like to incorporate include giving the user the option of integrating medication reminders with their calendar and using machine learning to allow the user to take a photo of their medication bottle and populate the medication information on the new timer screen.
Step 2
In the next step, we plan to incorporate analytic services to assist us in troubleshooting the app and to provide user insights to improve the overall user experience.
Step 3
Finally, we would like to submit the app to the Google Play store!

Inspiration
One of our team members had mentioned his local gym's new COVID-19 system of reserving sessions to workout. It involved a very cumbersome process of having to make a phone call at a specific time without even knowing if the limited space in each session had already been booked. We sought to address this pain point with the modern way; a website that lets you make online gym reservations which can readily display information to you, instead of having to awkwardly make phone calls.
What it does
A system to facilitate patrons reserving gym facilities and classes during limited capacity and high demand.
Users can register for an account with the website so they can access its booking features. Once registered and logged in, users can view available sessions and register for the ones they are interested in. They can also view a list of upcoming sessions they are registered to, and choose to cancel them if they like.
How we built it
We used Flask as the web development framework for our project. For our back-end we used sqlite3 via the SQLAlchemy package. The entire project was hosted on Heroku once complete.
Challenges we ran into
We were all relatively new to web development, and the frameworks we had used were not in Python or with Flask. This made building the website a difficult challenge but it provided for a great learning experience and an excellent introduction to Flask.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We managed to figure enough about Flask to get a full website running (including a database backend and cloud hosting) in the short period of time given.
We also were able to take advantage of GitHub's team resources to collaborate and work on multiple components of the project simultaneously.
We maintained clear communication throughout, helping speed up the process and resolve any issues we came about.
What we learned
We learned a lot about Flask and how an end-to-end website deployment looks like. We also learned more about GitHub's team features which came in handy during the hackathon.
What's next for GymReservation
We think that we can definitely polish up the website some more.
We also want to add an email server so users can receive email confirmations for upcoming features such as username changes and password resets.
We want to add more detail to the pages, so users can see who else is attending and click on a gym to view more details about it.
Lastly, we want to make use of unit testing frameworks to make sure we have everything covered.

Currently, our understanding of COVID-19 infection counts is limited to the state or county level as cities report their COVID-19 infections to the county government, and thus are reported as such. Our team noticed that for those traveling to new locations, it may be difficult to find the destination's current state of COVID-19 because one may not know the county that their destination city is in. CoVisClear aims to make traveling in these unprecedented times easier by showing you the most up to date COVID-19 infection data at your city/state destination in an easy-to-understand format, making your travel plans easier.
Sample Inputs
Corvallis, OR
Orange, FL
Kansas City, MO
Boston, MA
Challenges We ran into
Some state entries (e.g. CA, AZ) are being interpreted as country codes and do not show up.
When a search times out or fails, 404/500 pages do not show.
What's next for CoVisClear
Fixing aforementioned bugs, adding more available data to be shown such as cases/deaths/recoveries today to demonstrate "up to date"-ness (we already have access to this up-to-date data, just need to display it). Furthemore, include restaurants/places of interest along with their up-to-date hours, phone #, other relevant info.
