To give the website a more distinctive and hancrafted feel, I added a range of custom visual elements to make the website more unique, such as hand-drawn stars, polaroid-style photo frames, and gingham tape accents, contributing to a more playful website vibe.
This will hopefully make the site feel less corporate and more community-driven, reflecting the collaborative and creative spirit of KiwiHacks.
I changed the image of previous hackathons to a corkboard-style collage to add visual interest while still keeping the content organised and easy to engage with.
In addition, I implemented a custom footer that includes the handwritten-style signatures of the KiwiHacks team – reinforcing the personal, human aspect behind the event – and a I added a dedicated sponsors section to acknowledge partners in a structured and visually consistent way.

I created the first draft of the website with HTML and CSS inside of React.
The involved designing, coding, and styling the web page.
A key goal of the project is to move away from a generic, vibe-coded site and instead create something more original – this means that I had to spend abundant time on the design and visuals, making sure that they aligned with the KiwiHacks branding.
The reason why this first devlog is so late is because I didn’t know that I could count this for Flavourtown 🤣🤣

I finished creating and refining my AI model.
I
-> normalised my data
-> added more features

My MAE decreased to 8.3, which I’m happy with for now.
I will save the model with pickle and start working on my backend next.

I:
-> finished importing all required models
-> generated a correlation matrix
-> used online tutorials and ChatGPT to learn how to train and evaluate a model
-> trained and evaluated my model
But the MAE is quite high, at an average of 9 points off when I’d like it to be more precise. I will need to find a way to improve my model.

I finalised:

I started planning my project.
This involved defining my prior knowledge and interests to hone in on a specific goal – what do I actually want it to do? What am I able to do? What do I want to create?
