Body:
I’m experimenting with a small creative coding project and wanted some feedback before I go deeper into building it.

Current idea:

An interactive visual system where user input (mouse movement + clicks) influences a generative particle system in real time — things like motion trails, color shifts, and evolving patterns based on behavior.

I’m aiming for:

• Something visually engaging within a short build time
• Real-time interaction (not just passive visuals)
• Clean browser-based implementation

I’m considering using p5.js or Three.js, but not sure which direction would give better results for this kind of interaction.

Would love input on:

• Whether this idea has enough depth or feels too basic
• Ways to make it more interesting or unique
• Any techniques or references I should look intoInteractive visual project idea — looking for feedback on direction

I came across a tech-focused event happening in Bangalore this week and wanted to get some opinions from people here who’ve been in the indie/startup space longer.

It seems to combine a few things:

• Short hackathon-style build phase (MVP in ~24h)
• Startup pitch opportunity with a prize pool
• Exposure to investors / early-stage ecosystem
• Mix of devs, founders, and builders in one place

I’m considering participating mainly from a builder/startup perspective, not just as a student event.

My questions:

• Do events like this actually lead to meaningful outcomes (users, partnerships, funding, etc.)?
• Or are they mostly good for networking + quick prototypes?
• If you’ve attended similar things, what made it worth it (or not)?

I’m debating whether to invest a few days into this vs continuing to build independently, so would appreciate honest takes.

Hey, I’m forming a small team for an upcoming hackathon happening this week and need 2–3 serious builders.

About me:

• Stack: MERN + starting AI/ML
• Experience: DSA + projects
• Timezone: IST
• Availability: Full-time for next few days

Looking for:

• Web Dev / AI / ML people
• People who can commit next 2–3 days seriously
• Prefer people who’ve built something before

Goal is simple: build a strong MVP fast and compete seriously.

If interested, comment your stack + availability ASAP.
