Challenges we ran into

There were mutliple hurdles over the 40 hours of building. The core services that we use, AO, for our chat processes and _0RBIT as our oracle, both had a few hiccups throughout, which slowed us down a lot in making our MVP. This meant we had to push our goals back. We got through it by cutting some planned features and losing a bit of sleep. Also, learning new stuff always takes time to get the hang of. Other that these we did have some minor challenges here and there like last minute changes to the process handler to squeeze in a feature or two. Implementing AOConnect as a novel package also left us with hurdles a lot.
