Challenges we ran into

During the development of RevFlow-AI, we encountered several hurdles that tested our adaptability and problem-solving skills:

1.Learning Curve:
Challenge: Being web developers, venturing into VS Code extension development was uncharted territory.
Solution: In the limited 24-hour hackathon timeframe, we immersed ourselves in learning TypeScript and the intricacies of building a VS Code extension.

2.GPT-3 API Access:
Challenge: Initial hurdles in obtaining a GPT-3 API key as non-premium users.
Solution: The generous organizers at TinkHack provided us with their API key, enabling us to proceed with our project.

3.Library Compatibility:
Challenge: Encountered issues with the use of 'node-fetch' library.
Solution: Swiftly pivoted to 'axios', a more compatible alternative, overcoming the library-related obstacle.

4.GPT-3 Model Issues:
Challenge: Initial dissatisfaction with GPT-3 responses and errors in specifying the API endpoint and model.
Solution: With persistence and quick thinking, we addressed these issues, fine-tuned the API calls, and achieved satisfactory results just before the hackathon deadline.

5.Marketplace Deployment:
Challenge: Navigating the process of hosting the extension on the VS Code Marketplace.
Solution: With a final push, we successfully hosted RevFlow-AI on the marketplace, marking the culmination of our efforts.

In the face of these challenges, our team's determination, collaborative spirit, and willingness to learn were pivotal in overcoming obstacles and delivering a functional product within the tight hackathon timeframe.
