Really shocked to hear that because my project was always a hardware project and for that there is no way that the team can test it in their office/home.
After making the hardware, I thought of extending the project so that the judges could understand the usefulness of the hardware ecovaults, and this way the website for sellers & extension for buyers were made. In the forum post/devpost submission I provided the website link (for buyers) because that was already hosted on a site, whereas the extension was sent tor review to Google, and its link was already provided in the GitHub link.
The extension was approved on 17 October & then I did again mentioned in the GitHub readme that the extension was live and one can use it.
But to my surprise, it was never tested
Moreover, it was a hardware project with an excellent software support and its a shame that TRON does not feel the same.
When I started making this project, I took inspiration from OpenATM which was just a pure hardware project. And it won in that season. But its sad to see that almost after 2 years, TRON team is unable to find this project useful enough to be continued/marked as valid.
Very disheartened!! Won’t develop on TRON now because its a waste of time and energy if no one is acknowledging it.
By the way, I would love to hear the thoughts of those who commented on this project and to whom I provided some responses
