Show HN: INDIANS just took my last hope and it HURTS!

Yo, sap?!

My name is Ibrohim Abdivokhidov (aka abdibrokhim). Just 21 years old guy from Uzbekistan, Central Asia, FUCKING beautiful country you’ve never seen before.

Just graduated from one of the greatest Universities (e.g., New Uzbekistan University, aka Presidential University). Bachelor’s in Computer Science, specifically Software Engineering.

My grades are just fine (not bad and not good enough), 3.15/4.50 CGPA.

I know it’s too low.

I’m just curious about everything. And sometimes it’s hard to keep up with everything in a HIGH level.

I just love hackathons, competitions, and challenges.

Most of the time, or even all the time (beside academic things, and studies at University), I built stuff, create things, design, and have fun. (source)

Moreover, I like trying out every opportunity whether it’s related to my field or not. Fuck it, “just try it out”.

Since, December 2023; I’ve participated in over 70+ hackathons including worldwide competitions, and challenges. I’ve completed 400+ applications, including job positions, fellowship, internship, different programs, and many others. And failed almost in all of them.

IT HURTS!

And now, I started to hate Hackathons. Especially where INDIANS are the Judges.

Hackathons was my almost my last even more than a hobby. And now even I lost them. Thanks, INDIANS!! Appreciate it!

I almost have no motivation to participate further. idk. but there is always from my inside saying: “you can make it”, “just try it out on more time”. FUCK this is killin’ me literally.

Half me saying go ahead, when half me saying fuck those unfair INDIANS judges. they are fuckin’ blind.

I can’t describe my feelings. You can’t even feel them.

Broo, just. it’s crazy. Imagine you did great stuff. LITERALLY something cool to use as a normal human. And boom you got 2nd or 3rd place , or even failed to get top5. Because some JUDGES are too *good to be A JUDGE.

IT HURTS again!

Let’s take as an example my last 3 hackathons.

Recently, there been organized “X-RAPTORS HACKATHON”.

LISTEN, I got 2nd place.

it is crazy…

I’m disagree with judges opinion or whatever shit they made, TOTALLY and LITERALLY. They just graded projects UNFAIR and BLIND.

This BUGGY and BROKEN project got 1st place. Here’s a website: https://idea-forge-x.vercel.app/.

UI of https://idea-forge-x.vercel.app/
and Github repo: https://github.com/ManvendraSinghTanwar/IdeaForge-X. and their short demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxKM6Q_vEuE.

Please, take a moment and check all the project links (above). I’m not kidding at all.

Well, I hope you’ve seen that landing page is BROKEN. Most of the functionality of the app are not working properly and just static. Social accounts connection is just a trashed feature. I’m even not sure whether *they built it or just copyshited from v0.dev community templates. Just open their website and open browser tools. inside

tag you can see the following: .

UI of https://idea-forge-x.vercel.app/ + chrome devtools.
It could be VIBE CODED. Well, it’s totally FINE. But it could be just COPYSHITED as well as I said earlier. And here’s my brutal words. ARE JUDGES BLIND? or JUDGES playing INDIAN-FOR-INDIAN game.

So sorry for being rude or using shitty words. but you made me to hate hackathons.

IT HURTS again!

Well, here’s my project’s Github link: https://github.com/abdibrokhim/figma-ai. and Quick demo video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qTfebZyUKBzM-2rnPeEFAKatDh6XAxRE/view?usp=drive_link.

tbh, It was vibe coded 50/50 just to speed up with time.

UI of Flow AI

UI of Flow AI
Fuck IT.

Possibilities are endless with FlowAI. It supports HUGE workflows pretty nuts. BEST for Design Agencies or Soloprenuers with tens of clients.

Even NORMAL user can clearly see that, the thing (FlowAI) I built a way more BETTER, FUNCTIONAL, and DESERVE 1st place rather than some shitty non-functional project like IdeaForge-X !!!

Judge? — I just HATE you! sorrrry,

IT just HURTS me so much!

Even ORGANIZERS knows that, I built cool stuff as always. Their comments was following when i told them that JUDGES mis-graded submitted projects — “saying with 110% appreciation and 140% love to your project”.

No way. Why not then to ask them to grade properly? or they are just JUDING (blindly) to get SIGNED LETTER (aka VISA purposes).

Another one, “LIFE QUEST BALANCE HACKATHON”.

I got 3rd place.

1st place winner: Team Zen — Zenventures.

UI of Zenventures
2nd place: ForCoders — “Rewardify”.

UI of Rewardify
I don’t have any project or Github links. Because they are not valid anymore. WEIRD, isn’t it?.

and finally 3rd place. my projects Wei — “🌱 Wei: The AI Agents For Personal Growth”. Here’s the Github repo: https://github.com/abdibrokhim/wei | and project Demo (e.g., presentation slides): https://www.canva.com/design/DAGlvqFuJtI/dX_Yyydp7dMhGQBlcKXr4g/view?utm_content=DAGlvqFuJtI&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h46d5cf4613.

Wei: The AI Agents For Personal Growth

Wei: Architecture
Wei: It’s AI Voice Agentic app with realtime streaming OpenAI API.

Wait, whattafk!

How it can loose for Rewardify. That just a …,idk how to decribe , just a generic project. Compare to Wei that was built from scratch and it’s Agentic App, now way. noooo.

IT HURTS!

And last but not least. “Blazingly Fast Hackathon”.

I got 3rd place again.

This is the project that got 1st place. Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KUp34PHJuc.

UI of project 1
2nd place winner Github repo: https://github.com/Sidharth-Singh10/CargoCut.

UI of project 2
Wait what. isn’t it look like as one project with different designs.

when i did a brief observations, i found that both study at the same university.

well, okey. than i can simply submit 3 projects with a bit different UI and colors and get the top 3 places? fuck. why?

Huh!

Here’s my project: https://youtu.be/ahZV6aAdnVI?si=SCWhnljRfOCIevav.

UI of notlink
Totally different UI, clean colors, simple to use and way more better and secure.

Nooo, bruh. Every time when i saw notlink. It reminds me BAD memories. VERY Bad memories.

Hey, JUDGE!! How this is even possible??

Let’s assume you’re a JUDGE. You should just normally grade those three projects. NO BIAS!!

After watching all three demos or going thro the Github repos. It’s Fucking obvious that my project (notlink) way more better in all sides; documentation, demo video, code clarity, whatever… .

FUCK it!

I don’t believe my (notlink’s) UI/UX is worse than those two trashed stuff.

Because UI/UX grading was less. Unbelieveable, lmao! Seems JUDGES never seen or heard what is Shadcn/UI, TailwindCSS or NextJS. Sorry , but you’re not qualified to grade the hackathon, projects, or whatever that may FUCK UP some ones BIG dreams.

NAH!,

Indians playing their game again and again. Trash. I can’t say anything. Just trashed UI/UX. Even they’ve not deployed their trash URL shorteners. WTF? why cash then? Maybe developer further ? FUCK!

When, notlink has 93 stars, 15 forks within a month roughly, no-ads, $0 spent for marketing, pure traffic from my comprehensive tutorials.

Sorry, but I just HATE you.

I (my projects) should not loose or get 2nd, 3rd places because some judges can’t or don’t know how to ackshually JUDGE the submitted projects properly and FAIRLY.

I got this message: “I assume they are Indians and know how to help each other”.

then I replied them: “I assume they are (JUDGES) Indians and know how to help each other”.

i am on X, btw: x.com/abdibrokhim.
