:tada: Project created for the Summit virtual Hackathon

#iValidate

Project for the virtual Hackathon

##Overview

iValidate is a project that allows for two things

1. Serve as a public repository of project ideas.
2. Compare project ideas as an early validation and helping the authors to know if they have originalls ideas or to get in touch with similar projects.projects

##Usage

The app is very simple. First, there is no session or loggin, the authors of an idea just give a contact mail as authorship (all ideas are public). First, there is a general overview and desciprtion of the idea, and later, the author must submit the Canvas Business Model to be compared. What will happen then, is that, in base of the tags submited by the user, a value is assigned to each part of the canvas business model, and with those values the new idea is compared with each of the actual ideas on the repo.

##Actual State

The app isn't finished yet. The idea creation is finished but untested, the idea comparisson and the result display isn't finished.

##Tech stack

iValidate is developed with Ruby on Rails 4+ for the Backend, and Vuejs with Browserify (through the browserify-rails gem) for the Frontend. The database choose was MongoDB with the awesome Mongoid gem.

##Final thoughts

I'm plannign to finish the project, some of the changes that I will introduce would be:

• Allow to have public and private segments of each idea
• Helping to contact authors with developers, investors, etc
• Allow to edit ideas through email confirmation
• Implement email notifications when someone wants to contact an author
• Add ranking and view counter for ideas
• Populate the repo
