Building a Winning Project and Lasting Product
summary
Has judged 300–400 hackathon projects and distills repeat winners: get the core use case working, make demos self‑documenting, drop non‑essential features, and add polish. Dynamic is shown as a drop‑in auth plus embedded wallet with quick SDKs and a create‑dynamic‑app starter, native Coinbase On‑Ramp and a new unified Pay with Dynamic flow. Documentation uses a live MCP server and copy‑paste oneshot prompts so LLMs read current guides. Examples include a kid‑savings hyperinflation app and a token‑based captive Wi‑Fi portal.
