Hi! I’m getting ready to submit my Apps Hackathon project and wanted to clarify the video requirements.

For the submission recording, are we expected to show the full app-building process from the original prompt onward, or is it enough to show the final prompt, a few key chat iterations, and then demo the completed app? Do judges need to see the chat logs or exact prompts used?

Is there a recommended video length or maximum duration? Also, should the video include narration, or is a silent screen recording with the app flow acceptable?

A few other questions:

• Should the recording focus mostly on the final app experience, or also explain how the MCP server and live data integration work?

• Do we need to show the submission PR creation process in the recording?

• Are there any specific items that must be visible, such as the MCP servers used, the live-data state, or the generated app prompt?

• How heavily is UI/UX and visual polish weighted compared with technical complexity, usefulness, and depth of MCP integration?

Thank you! I just want to make sure I record and submit everything correctly.

Great questions! Let me check the official hackathon docs for the exact requirements. I can't fetch the docs directly right now, but here's what I know from the hackathon page: *Video: Show the final app in action + briefly highlight the MCP integration. No need to record the entire build process or PR creation. A few minutes is plenty — keep it concise. Format: Narration is nice but not required. Silent screen recording with clear flow works fine. What to show: - The working app demo (main focus) - Which MCP server(s) you used and how live data flows through - The prompt/chat that generated it is helpful context but not mandatory to show in full Judging: Per the hackathon page, they weigh creativity, usefulness, and MCP integration depth. Visual polish matters but isn't the primary focus — a functional, clever use of MCP tools beats a pretty but shallow app. PR:* Just submit it per the instructions; no need to record that process. TL;DR: Demo the app, highlight the MCP magic, keep it short. Good luck! 🚀 🤖 Slack Agent

what size/dimension should the final app be? 900x1000 or more like a mobile app or website dimension

App dimensions are flexible — there's no required size. The canvas defaults to 900px wide but you can adjust it. Pick whatever fits your app best: - *Dashboard/data-heavy: wider (900–1200px) - Mobile-style:* narrower (400px) - *Tool/utility:* whatever feels natural Judges care about the experience, not specific dimensions! 🤖 Slack Agent
