Max TsymbalGUEST
Honestly, this is something like my, I don't know how to say, things I love the most about nowadays lenses, because we finally got access to internet, kind of.

Max TsymbalGUEST
Because years ago it was closed, it was really impossible to do anything, request to any API.

Max TsymbalGUEST
And now I'm just trying to use it as much as possible in my lenses, because I really enjoy so I just said okay what we can do here I mean so it's not just offline thing and I saw that okay it will be actually cool if again some my girlfriend wants me to pack some things and I don't know what exactly she wants so instead of just the list of things on my phone she can send me this list and like the next step also in future let's say it will be great to have a spatial map of your flat and so basically you can have a navigation to the things where they belong so i don't need to search for my t-shirt i know that it lives somewhere in the closet in the third shelf so glasses will just navigate me to this t-shirt i grab it and i place it to the packet and everything automated i just need to collect things right so and that was the thinking behind and yeah i think i'll use it on every project this web experience because now i also used it for branding so i created a web page where you can rebrand the lens so basically it's published but then when you open and connect to it from the web experience you can change the color of ui you can add the logo of your company and etc without new build

So yeah, I think this is absolutely fair point and let's say a strong invite to anybody that might be willing to to join and is curious about this set this up in a couple of hours maybe join the discord team up with people or on the reddit ask some questions because i think that the community is very open and this event is a good one because in a week you build something out and then you can you can test it straight away then one last question what's next you mentioned that we have one challenge every week uh can you share a little bit of what you are working on

Max TsymbalGUEST
Um, yeah, I actually just finished working yesterday, uh, with a week two challenge is a guide, uh, topic now.
