A group of University of California, Berkeley students won Kintone's Dojo Hackathon contest with a cloud application they built for solving global food waste.
With pizza in hand and only one hour, 30 students in groups of four got to work to solving a real-world problem using Kintone, a low-code application development platform.
Students could create customize applications on the platform using JavaScript API, Rest API, Webhook and other tools for limitless creative possibilities.
The group with the winning app "What's in My Fridge?" featured an innovative use of Javascript and calendaring to track cost-savings and encourage less food waste. The other groups also presented stand-out solutions, including:
- TrackIt Real World -- Workflow calculation of employee work efficiencies
- Bill CALculator -- Tipping calculator and analytics package
-
Healthflow -- Electronic Health Record solution from hospital to pharmacy
