🌀 API Mashup — App Wing Event

📌 What is API Mashup?

API Mashup is an App Wing event where you build something unforgettable.

You'll be given a fixed set of quirky, completely unrelated APIs and exactly 2.5 hours to combine them into one single-screen mobile app (Android or iOS) that is creative, hilarious, and surprisingly functional.

The twist? The APIs don't go together. That's the point. Your job is to make them feel like they were meant to be together.

🎯 The Challenge

• Build a single-screen mobile app (Android or iOS) in 2.5 hours
• Integrate 3–4 APIs from the provided list
• Display their data together in a creative or entertaining way
• The combo should feel clever, not forced

🏆 Judging Criteria

Criterion	What we're looking for
Creativity	How originally and imaginatively are the APIs used?
Number of Features	How many meaningful interactions and features did you build?
Cohesion	Do the APIs feel naturally connected, or does it feel like a forced mashup?
Code Quality	Clean, structured code — use of loggers, a repository pattern, smart list updates, a dedicated API client, etc.

💡 Bonus Points for:

• Using a Repository pattern to centralize all API calls (no cluttered Activity.kt or ViewController.swift)
• DiffUtil (Android) or DiffableDataSource / Native SwiftUI Lists (iOS) for smooth list updates
• Proper logging throughout the app
• Error handling and elegant loading states
• Smooth and polished UI despite the chaos

⚠️ PRs submitted after the deadline will not be considered for judging.
