## Evaluation Criteria 🔍
Projects will be judged based on the following criteria:

**1. Product Thinking:** Usefulness of the project in a real-world scenario. Completeness of the features implemented.
**2. UI/UX:** The overall look, layout, color usage, and positioning in the application.
**3. Code:** Quality (clean code, proper naming conventions, use of linter); use of best practices.
**4. Completeness of the project:** Your project must be complete and fully functional. The blog should cover all aspects of your project. What inspired you to create this project? What problem does the project address? How did you build it? 

**P.S.** - Avoid copying from your proposal or chatgpt.

## A Few Best Practices... 🙌
📹 **Share a demo** (video format is better) of your final project.

📝 **Explain in your article** why and how you used the aforesaid tech stacks.

💡 **Don't be afraid to write a lengthier article!** It's better to cover all the aspects of your project rather than leave some features outside!
