The Most Unique Idea in Laracon 2024 - Think To Share’s Find The Bug Challenge

This year’s Laracon 2024 was a big hit with every company and every developer bringing something new to the table.

We witnessed some amazing speakers enlightening us on different topics not only related to Laravel but everything from app development to AI and much more.

However, we would like to talk about a company that stood out among the crowd for being the most popular. We are of course talking about Think To Share IT Solutions PVT. LTD.

We are going to talk about what exactly they did that made them so popular at Laracon 2024 in Udaipur and hopefully, this will also inspire you to imagine such out-of-the-box ideas.

And speaking of out-of-the-box ideas, this idea that they presented at the Think To Share Stall was not only unique but actually very practical and that is why it was a win-win situation for everyone involved including the participants.

So, what was this game-changing idea?

My Reminders App and How It’s Important to Find the Bug Challenge

In order to understand this challenge, we need to understand what is My Reminders app. This is a revolutionary app when it comes to setting reminders.

It is because this is the only app that helps you set call reminders. This app lets people set reminders and set the urgency level of the reminders so that they can actually get calls from the My Reminders system telling them about their reminders.

And not just that, My Reminders has a few other features that differentiate it from the competition.

This is the only reminder app that lets you share reminders with someone else which means you can simply create a reminder and then send it to someone.

It lets you create reminders for yourself and then add people to the reminder or it lets you create a reminder for someone else like your grandpa to take his medicines.

So, now we have a winning recipe in the form of a very unique Idea and it just needs an audience.

That is where we come to Find the Bug Challenge.

What Was Find the Bug Challenge?

The entire goal of Find The Bug Challenge was simply user engagement and that is why the amazing team at Think To Share and especially the My Reminders team came up with an excellent idea.

They deliberately introduced a lot of bugs into the My Reminders app so that they could build a challenge around it to find the bugs. It could now become an exciting game of engagement.

The entire concept of the game was that participants had to find all the bugs. If they could find most of the bugs in the limited time available then they would win a brand new pair of Apple AirPods.

Why Was Find the Bug Challenge Genius?

User Engagement

The primary purpose of Find The Bug Challenge was user engagement because this allowed the Think To Share team to interact with a lot of people and this is quite important for a B2C app.

This allowed them to talk about the app and explain the functionality of the app so that people could use it straight away and understand it.

The bugs that were chosen as a part of this challenge were planned in such a way that they did not create a problem in the core functionality of the app.

App Familiarisation

The thing about apps is that you can talk about them to people and you can explain their functionality and even ask them to use it.

But people are going to be familiar with it if they are given the opportunity to find problems with the app.

That is exactly what they did with My Reminders. They created a challenge that made some of the best app developers in India familiarise themselves with the app and find bugs within it.

How Was the Overall Response?

Well, it was not surprising to see an amazing response as Find The Bug Challenge got the most number of participations of any contest in Laracon 2024.

According to the team, more than a hundred people participated in this unique challenge and even more people enquired about the app.

The best thing about this venue was that the participants were no ordinary people as these were some of the finest app developers in India.

They took out time from their busy schedule to try and find out all the bugs of My Reminders.

The best thing about this was that the Laracon organising team also helped them a lot because such ideas are always recognised and encouraged.

Here Are Some Amazing Responses from The Audience

Response 1:

One of the gentlemen attending the conference was simply surprised that this app could even make calls to remind people of their alarm or reminder.

He intended to use this app to get up on time for the second day of the confidence.

Response 2:

The second response was even better because a lady was just talking to the team of Think To Share when she noticed the Find The Bug Challenge.

She came to the conference with her son and she called her son and the son participated and according to the team, he nearly got most of the bugs.

Overall people were very thrilled that this kind of a challenge existed that not only helped people familiarise themselves with an app but also enabled a good level of participation and a good prize.

Find The Bug Challenge Winner

No challenge is complete without a good winning prize and a good recognition of talent and both were perfect in this case.

This is because the price was a brand new pair of Apple AirPods and the winner was Murtaza Vohra.

He was very enthusiastic from the beginning and kept on trying and found the most number of bugs in the app.

He was the fastest participant to do it and he was more eager about doing the challenge than the prize itself or the recognition.

However, the price ceremony was also quite memorable. This is because the Think To Share team had planned to give out the winner's prize at their stall.

But when the Laracon team understood that people loved this challenge and they insisted and invited Think To Share to present the prize to the winner on the main stage in the conference hall.

That is why this was the best outcome for everyone.

Think To Share Achieved the Best Outcome This Laracon 2024

Think To Share managed to spread awareness of their app and managed to get some of the best minds in app development involved in a fun competition.

And they created this very fun and challenging environment that actually had a good prize at the end and that is why they achieved the best outcome.

The outcome was that people now know what My Reminders is and people also know how to use this app.

Most importantly, people managed to take part in this fun activity that helped them try a very unique concept in the most exciting way possible and it is with the help of a challenge.

We hope you enjoyed this blog about Laracon 2024. We also hope to bring you more blogs about this amazing conference and other important events in the tech world in the future.
