HodlNoodle

DevCon just wrapped up, and it was absolutely incredible. Over 13,000 people came together in one place to share their wildest experiences—street food they stumbled upon, the best side events, exclusive merch, and unforgettable encounters. Social media threads were flooded with these stories.

To keep the energy alive, I built HodlNoodle—a mobile web app (PWA) that's essentially the "TripAdvisor for cryptobros." It lets you share, browse, and explore all those amazing moments from DevCon or similar events.

The app is super simple to use:

Trending Page: Discover top “noodles” (shared experiences) based on photos, names, descriptions, locations, and more. Details: Click on a noodle for more info, see other users' comments, and even interact by replying or voting. Create Your Own Noodle: Share your experience by filling in a few details and hitting submit—it's that easy! Everything runs on Push Protocol, leveraging their SDK to ensure a seamless user experience. Each noodle doubles as a group chat, with a shared address for tracking and accessing relevant noodles. Users can join these chats, upvote/downvote noodles, and interact in the comments.

Push Protocol's tech also powers:

IPFS Storage: For encrypted chat and noodle data. Smart Wrappers: Simplifying user interactions while ensuring security. Ready to try it out?
