Summary

The YDWWT (You Did What With Tines) competition, celebrated for showcasing the innovative use of the Tines platform to solve automation challenges, concluded its Winter Wonderland Edition by awarding Handogotchi as the winner. Created by Valentine Mairet, a Security Engineer at GitLab, Handogotchi ingeniously gamifies team handovers, utilizing Tines and Slack's APIs to facilitate seamless transitions in distributed teams like GitLab. This example underscores how non-developers can harness Tines to build impactful automation tools, highlighting the value of APIs in creating unanticipated functionalities. GitLab has shared a version of the Tines Story for others to learn and replicate, and Tines encourages users to explore creating their own automations.
