The submission form is behind a login, but based on RevenueCat's official guidelines + standard Devpost structure, here's what they're asking for:

Standard Devpost Fields (All Hackathons)

Basic Info:

  • Project Name - "Quest Planner"
  • Tagline (short, catchy) - "Turn your dreams into daily micro-actions"
  • Which Creator Brief? - Dropdown: Select "Gabby Beckford (@packslight)"

Assets:

  • Demo Video URL (required) - YouTube/Vimeo link, 2-3 min max
  • Images/Screenshots - 3-5 key screens (Campaign Select, Briefing, Home, Quest Detail, Stamp Collection)
  • TestFlight Link (required for iOS) - Public link, no email required

Technical:

  • Built With (tags) - React Native, Expo, RevenueCat, AsyncStorage
  • GitHub/Code Repository (optional, but recommended)

RevenueCat-Specific Questions (Custom Fields)

Based on their requirements doc, expect these:

1. Project Description / "Here's the whole story" (This is the big text box - likely has guidance headers)

Expected sections:

  • Problem Statement - What problem does this solve for [Creator]'s audience?
  • Solution Overview - How does your app solve it?
  • Target Audience - Who is this for? (Gabby's audience: adventurous women seeking life upgrades)
  • Key Features - What makes it special?

2. Monetization Strategy

  • How did you integrate RevenueCat?
  • What's your pricing model? (Free vs Premium)
  • What's behind the paywall?
  • What's your rationale for pricing?

3. Technical Documentation

  • Architecture overview (React Native, Context API, AsyncStorage, etc.)
  • RevenueCat integration details (how you use SDK, entitlements, offerings)
  • Any technical challenges you solved

4. Developer Bio

  • Your background
  • Why you built this
  • Portfolio/previous work links
  • What excites you about this project

5. Future Roadmap (Post-Hackathon Plans)

  • What's next for the app?
  • Additional campaigns planned?
  • Community features?
  • Creator partnerships?

Likely Optional Fields

  • Inspiration - What inspired you to build this?
  • What it does - One-sentence summary
  • How we built it - Tech stack details
  • Challenges we ran into - What was hard?
  • Accomplishments we're proud of - What worked well?
  • What we learned - Key takeaways
  • What's next - Future features

(These are standard Devpost prompts, not sure if RevenueCat uses all of them)

What You MUST Have Ready

Based on your hackathon-submission-plan.md:

βœ… TestFlight Link - Public external testing link βœ… Demo Video URL - 2-3 min, uploaded to YouTube unlisted βœ… Screenshots - 3-5 images from key screens πŸ“ Written Proposal - 1-2 pages covering problem/solution/monetization/roadmap πŸ“ Technical Docs - Architecture + RevenueCat integration details πŸ“ Developer Bio - Your story, why this project

Character Limits (Typical Devpost)

  • Tagline: ~50-80 chars
  • Description: Usually 5000-10000 chars (about 1-2 pages)
  • Each section: 1000-2000 chars

Pro Tips

  1. Use the description sections as your "written proposal" - Don't write separately, just fill the form
  2. Screenshots matter - Judges see these before watching video
  3. Tagline should mention Gabby - "Built for Gabby Beckford's audience" or similar
  4. Built With tags - Include "RevenueCat" so they can filter/find it

What I Recommend

Pre-fill a Google Doc with:

  • Problem statement (200 words)
  • Solution overview (300 words)
  • Monetization strategy (200 words)
  • Technical architecture (300 words)
  • Developer bio (150 words)
  • Roadmap (150 words)

Then copy/paste into Devpost form sections. Easier to edit/review before submitting.

Want me to draft any of these sections based on your current Quest Planner app?
