How was your experience building with Codex?

it was really good , learnt a lot of new things

Describe your experience using Loops House as the hackathon platform. What worked well, what challenges (if any) did you face, and what improvements would you like to see?

What worked well: Loops House made team communication and project tracking easy. The interface was clean, and having all updates, submissions, and announcements in one place reduced context switching. Challenges faced: Occasional navigation confusion when switching between project dashboard and resource sections. The learning curve for first-time users could be smoother. Improvements suggested: Add a built-in timer or deadline tracker for submissions, and improve mobile responsiveness for checking updates on the go.

Tell us about your overall experience at Codex Community Hackathon Pune.

Overall, the Codex Community Hackathon Pune was an energizing and well-organized event. The venue had great energy, the volunteers were helpful, and the networking opportunities with other builders were valuable. I appreciated the focus on real-world problem solving rather than just flashy demos. The food and breaks were well-timed, and the judging process felt fair and transparent. It was a great environment to build, learn, and connect.

What could Codex Community improve to create a better experience for participants?

More workspace and power outlets – The venue got crowded, and finding available power sockets was difficult at peak times. Clearer judging criteria upfront – Sharing the rubric before submission day would help teams align their demos better. Earlier API/mentor access – Having mentors available from hour one, not just after the first checkpoint. Post-hackathon support – A follow-up session on next steps (open source contributions, internship opportunities, or incubation paths) would add long-term value. Hardware/sponsor resource docs – A shared folder with sponsor API docs, keys, and setup guides would reduce time spent hunting for information.
