Challenge #1: Filestack | The #1 File Handling Service for Developers

1st Place - $1,000 cash prize

Overview: Filestack is the #1 content handling platform for developers. We handle everything from file uploads to checking for copyrighted material in your content. Our processing API enables developers to transform images, audio files, video files, and documents, as well as deliver content seamlessly. Unlock our intelligence tasks to access our OCR capabilities for documents and images, scan for viruses, or censor lewd (NSFW) content from being uploaded into your application.

Challenge:
The goal for hackers is to build a functional application utilizing the content APIs from Filestack via Workflows. Workflows will allow you to automate content tasks to solve as many content modification issues as possible, all while creating a smooth user experience. Participants are to use up to 3 workflows in their project. Each workflow will be graded on its traits, but any additional features or workflows will gain the developer extra points.
