- NativeScript Angular
NativeScript is an open source structure for building genuinely local portable applications with JavaScript.
It enables you to utilize web aptitudes, similar to TypeScript, Angular and CSS, and get local UI and execution on iOS and Android.
With NativeScript Angular, you can fabricate applications for the two iOS and Android from a solitary undertaking.
The numbers
This was the first release of this occasion.
We had 100+ member from 30+ various nations and 6 unique landmasses, going after 4 days.
We got 10+ entries, granted 5 prizes, and we think about 100% of members as champs.
Champs
Picking the victors wasn’t simple, as each task was extraordinary and they all merited a major prize 🤗
So as to pick the victors, we need clear criteria for us to pass judgment on the entirety of the passages.
Judging
Every accommodation was made a decision about dependent on the accompanying 3 classes:
Advancement — How unique are the way to go and execution?
Structure — How well does it look and feel to utilize?
Utility — Is the application offering a help I’d use over and over?
Declaration
The champ and the subsequent prize have been chosen dependent on the most noteworthy score over each of the 3 classifications. Also, we granted the prizes for the best entries in every class.
Stanimira Vlaeva declared the champs at Angular Connect.
Here is a more top to bottom review of each triumphant group, their venture, and the great motivation they set out to help.
The Innovation Prize
The Innovation Prize was granted to the Team Tech4GoodPH for their application for Solid Waste Management in the Philippines.
From the making a decision about board
We enjoyed utilizing maps to picture the issues with trash squander the board, and furthermore for hoping to tackle the issue through a network building strong information reports, which could be utilized as strong proof to push things ahead.
In spite of the fact that the application is focused on the Philippines, we can see this being utilized in different areas over the planet.
What was your thought?
The Philippines is every now and again appraised as one of the least restrained nations on trash transfer. This prompts fiascos, for example, flooding and avalanches that further imperil a large number of lives.
Our venture, Bayanihan Maps, expects to help NGOs and Local Government Units in their projects and additionally approaches on Solid Waste Management by empowering clients to report areas that need improvement (Bad) and legitimate areas for trash transfer (Good). The information that our application gathers will be made open and available for examination.

Do you intend to keep chipping away at this undertaking?
Indeed, we do, and we as of now have a few thoughts on what we need to do straightaway.
Future advancements will urge clients to report by having a type of gamification in the application and will likewise have the option to create wise bits of knowledge by having huge information examination on the backend.
We’ll likewise have an approach to check awful areas as “Settled”, after which the marker and rating will change.
We will likewise have a component to encourage “Tidy up drives” where a coordinator can determine a territory in the guide for the drive. The tidy up drive can be “Joined” by clients who need to join. There will be a “Scoring System” during a drive, and the coordinators can “Include Rewards” for classifications, for example, “Most noteworthy Score for Resolving Bad Areas” or “Most elevated Score for Reporting Bad Areas”.
The Design Prize
The Design Prize was granted to the Team William for their glossy application helping for TU.TO.R.
From the making a decision about board
This venture won the structure prize, as a result of its extraordinary utilization of formats, pleasant adjusted corners all over the place (yippee to the adjusted square shapes), yet critically, you don’t regularly get the chance to play with a menu that is fun but then it carries out its responsibility.
What was your thought?
I took a shot at the application for patients to follow their action. I concentrated predominantly on the client experience, exploring different avenues regarding the livelinesss in NativeScript — look at the red sidebar on the left, and drag it to one side, and sit tight for a smidgen, drag it again to one side to close it.
The Utility Prize
The Utility Prize was granted to the Team TNS for their pragmatic application for Ronald McDonald House Charities.
From the making a decision about board
This application won the Utility prize, in light of its attention on it being functional and valuable. It probably won’t be the shiniest child on the square, yet it essentially carries out the responsibility and it is very extensible, as the administrators of the application framework can undoubtedly include new zones and errands that the clients of the application could do.
What was your thought?
Our venture is a stand application that administration at the Ronald McDonald House Charities can use to sign in inhabitants, guests, and visitors. Just as oversee occupants (realize who is in the house or out) and every day tasks (have they been finished and by who). It will help lessen the outstanding task at hand for the board at the houses with the goal that they can concentrate on proceeding to improve the offices and conveniences for families that are remaining there.
Who did you construct it for?
Ronald McDonald House Charities, they supply food and lodging for families who have youngsters in the neighborhood kids’ disease emergency clinic so they have a spot to remain while their kid is experiencing treatment.
Do you intend to keep taking a shot at this undertaking?
Truly! We indicated the application to our philanthropy, and they needed to begin utilizing it. We are working with them to improve the styling and making it simpler for them to incorporate with their work process.
The Second Prize — $1000
The Second Prize was granted to the Team Bessia for the application that composes Plogging occasions.
From the making a decision about board
This task was a nearby second. Once more, we experienced passionate feelings for an application that had an incredible harmony between extraordinary looks and an exceptionally fascinating activity, where you clean your locale of trash while running with similar individuals.
What was your thought?
It is a venture for individuals who are enthusiastic about plogging. The application shows arranged and completed occasions, groups and clients who took an interest in these occasions and their outcome (all out gathered trash and results by classes: metal, plastic, glass). You can get results by race, group, sprinter. On the off chance that you are approved, you can join the occasion or a group and watch your own outcomes.
Do you intend to keep dealing with this venture?
I’m certain about it. Presently, I have just a MVP, that can exhibit the thought and I will build up the undeniable application.
I’ve exhibited this application to the members of the Belarusian Plogging races. Furthermore, they preferred the thought to such an extent.
The Winner — $2000
The triumphant accommodation originated from Team Alex with the venture for Plastic Oceans UK.
From the making a decision about board
This venture quickly got our eyes. It had all that we were searching for: an excellent UI with imaginative thoughts, and a large portion of everything, we could see ourselves utilizing it to lessen the plastic waste and the contamination that goes with it.
What was your thought?
My venture was a data/gift/tracker/map application for a philanthropy called “Plastic Oceans UK”. It gave some data around the philanthropy and plastic contamination overall. It likewise enabled you to see close by reusing stations, track your very own reusing endeavors, and, obviously, give!
Who did you construct it for?
I picked Plastic Oceans UK since I accept firmly in ensuring our planet and sparing marine life everywhere throughout the world. Additionally, it was a nearby philanthropy to myself as I live in the UK — in every case great to help neighborhood philanthropies!
The soul
Despite the fact that this was an occasion with money prizes, each member participate with an incredible frame of mind of improving the world a spot. There were different situations where somebody stalled out, just to get help from somebody from another group.
Yet, in any event, when it came to singular entries, individuals were increasingly amped up for the distinction they could make, than winning the prizes. Here is a message I got from one of the challengers who didn’t win any of the prizes.
You don’t have the foggiest idea how cheerful I was the point at which I got your message. Winning wasn’t my top need in this challenge, yet planning something for help NGO is the mission!
Just to let you all know, we really distributed the application to Google Play store and we got an enormous commendation from the network. It’s been a serious adventure. The International Federation of Pedestrian (like the primary association of person on foot on the planet) really reached us and requested that we make an interpretation of the application to English so they can convey it to all nations! So much euphoria!!!
Last words
Occasions like this show the genuine intensity of the network and the capability of how much good we would all be able to make when we put our hearts into it.
It is a great idea to escape our every day employments and utilize our aptitudes for something that we as a whole put stock in and have a genuine effect to our networks and the planet.

We have altogether delighted in this occasion, the vibe and the applications that the members manufactured.
We have a ton of thoughts on the best way to improve this occasion and help create increasingly breathtaking entries for next time. If it’s not too much trouble stay tuned — we will report the following hackathon by means of the Angular and the NativeScript twitter handles.
