Suggested Curriculum

  1. Implement or fine-tune image recognition models
  2. Create RESTful API for image processing
  3. Build image preprocessing pipeline
  4. Implement result caching and optimization
  5. Create developer documentation and SDK

Submission Requirements

  • Public GitHub repository with clean commit history.
  • README that explains features, setup, and deployment (template below).
  • Use semantic commits; no large binary files in Git.
  • Respect project structure and include environment variable samples.
  • Include screenshots or a short demo GIF in the README.
  • Pass basic linting and build checks; no console errors in UI.
Note: Do not include secrets in the repository. Use .env files locally and share example keys only.

Repository Standards

  • Default branch: main
  • Use a permissive license (MIT) unless otherwise needed
  • Include .gitignore for Node/Next.js
  • Add .nvmrc or engines field for Node 18+
  • PR-ready: clear folder structure and typed code (TS preferred)
  • No hardcoded credentials; use environment variables
  • Include sample data/seed script when relevant
  • Add basic tests where feasible (smoke tests acceptable)

Web Deployment Checklist

  • Hosted URL is mandatory for all web projects (Vercel recommended).
  • Ensure production build works (no build-time errors or 500s).
  • ENV vars configured on hosting platform; no secrets in code.
  • Update README with Live URL and deployment notes.
  • Basic SEO: title, meta description, favicon present.
  • Performance: images optimized, no blocking console errors.
Optional: Set up CI to run lint and type-check on pull requests.
