Hi. I am interested in Hackathons that involve Artificial Intelligence.
https://huggingface.co/MartialTerran
https://devpost.com/software/ai-decision-clerk1
I have written GenAI apps in python (such as ChatwithPDF) (now a standard
feature in most GenAI user interfaces) and speech-to-text apps (e.g. using
free API Key at AssemblyAI )
I prefer to not work on Apps that require a microsoft "license" apart from
ownership of a MS Windows (XP, Vista, 10, 12) OS. Also, I am not at all
interested in building "office"/data apps (sales machines) at this time as
I am not involved in that type of work.
I asked Google Gemini if PowerApps could be used to create a practical
dashboard disclosing the power consumption of an office or a home....
*Regarding your initial idea (Home Power Consumption Dashboard):*
-
*Feasibility:* Power Apps can accept real-time data, but it's not
directly designed for constant, high-frequency hardware data streams like a
true real-time monitoring system.
-
*Connectors/APIs:* You would likely need a middleware layer (e.g.,
Azure Function, custom API) to bridge the gap between your
hardware (meter,
sensors) and Power Apps. This middleware would:
1.
Read data from your hardware (potentially via API from a smart
meter or custom sensors).
2.
Expose this data through an API endpoint that Power Apps can
connect to (using a Custom Connector or HTTP connector).
-
*Data Refresh:* Power Apps can use timers to refresh data from
connectors at intervals. You could achieve near real-time updates, but it
won't be sub-second responsiveness.
-
*Complexity:* This idea is more complex due to the hardware
integration aspect. It might be better suited as a longer-term project or
scaled down for a hackathon to focus on the Power Apps dashboard and
simulated real-time data.
*[Seems like PowerApps is not optimal for practical evaluation of real time
data (hardware derived data, like temperature, power consumption, etc.*
*Tips for Choosing a Hackathon Idea:*
*Tips for Choosing a Hackathon Idea:*
-
*Scope:* Choose an idea that is achievable within the hackathon
timeframe. Start small and focus on core functionality.
-
*Team Skills:* Consider the skills of your team members. Do you have
UI/UX designers, Power Apps developers, backend developers (for middleware
if needed)?
-
*Value Proposition:* Think about the value your tool will provide to
Power Platform users. Solve a real problem or improve an existing process.
-
*Modern Controls Focus:* Actively think about how you can incorporate
modern controls to enhance the user experience and visual appeal of your
tool.
Good luck with your Hackathon! Let me know if you'd like to explore any of
these ideas in more detail.
Power Apps is *not* designed to be a tool for creating standalone,
license-free HTML dashboards, especially when the primary goal is to bypass
licensing fees. Let's break down why and explore the limitations and
alternatives:
*Why Power Apps is Not for Standalone, License-Free HTML Dashboards:*
1.
*Power Apps is a Platform, Not a Static HTML Generator:* Power Apps is a
low-code application development platform. It's built to create interactive
applications that run within the Power Platform ecosystem. It's not
designed to be a website generator that spits out static HTML files for you
to host independently and license-free.
2.
*Licensing is Core to the Power Platform Model:* Microsoft's Power
Platform, including Power Apps, operates on a licensing model. You pay for
users to use the applications built on the platform. There's no
legitimate, built-in way to extract a Power App and run it outside of the
Power Platform without licensing implications.
3.
*"Exporting" is Not "Standalone HTML":* While you can "export" a Power
App solution (as a .msapp file or as part of a Solution Package), this
export is *not* creating a standalone HTML dashboard. The exported file
is essentially the definition of your Power App – the formulas,
controls, data connections, etc. It's not a compiled, self-contained HTML
application. This exported file is meant to be imported into another
Power Platform environment, not run independently.
4.
*Power Apps Relies on Backend Services:* Even if you could somehow
extract the HTML and JavaScript that the Power Apps player renders in a
browser, it would likely be non-functional or severely limited. Power Apps
applications often rely on:
-
*Dataverse (or other data sources):* The backend database where your
data is stored.
-
*Connectors:* To access data from various services (like your
hypothetical power meter API).
-
*Power Platform Runtime:* The underlying infrastructure that executes
the Power Apps logic and manages connections.
Without these backend services and the Power Platform runtime, a
"standalone HTML" version would be just a shell, devoid of its
functionality.
5.
*Bypassing Licensing is Against Terms of Service:* Attempting to extract
and use a Power App in a way that avoids licensing would likely be a
violation of Microsoft's terms of service. They are very clear that using
Power Apps requires appropriate licensing.
*In short: You cannot create a standalone, license-free HTML dashboard
using Power Apps to avoid Microsoft licensing fees. It's not the intended
purpose of the platform, and the architecture and licensing model are
designed to prevent this.*
*Alternatives for Creating Standalone, Potentially License-Free Dashboards
(Especially for Hardware Data):*
If your primary goal is to create a standalone dashboard to visualize
real-time hardware data and avoid Power Apps licensing, you need to look at
tools and technologies designed for that purpose. Here are some better
alternatives:
1.
*Traditional Web Development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript):*
-
*Pros:* Maximum control, completely standalone (you host it
yourself), no platform licensing fees (beyond hosting costs).
You can build
exactly what you need.
-
*Cons:* Requires coding skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and
potentially backend if you need data processing), more development effort
compared to low-code.
-
*Suitable for:* When you need full customization, performance, and
complete control, and you have the development resources.
2.
*Open-Source Dashboarding and Data Visualization Tools:*
-
*Examples:* Grafana, Kibana, Node-RED Dashboard, Freeboard,
ThingsBoard (some have open-source versions and paid cloud options).
-
*Pros:* Often designed specifically for time-series data and hardware
monitoring, many are open-source (or have free tiers), can be
self-hosted,
often have excellent real-time data handling capabilities.
-
*Cons:* May require some technical setup and configuration, might
have a learning curve depending on the tool, some features might
be limited
in free versions.
-
*Suitable for:* Ideal for visualizing hardware data, IoT data, system
metrics, and situations where you need real-time updates and flexibility.
3.
*Low-Code/No-Code Platforms Designed for Public-Facing Websites (but
still often have licensing for advanced features):*
-
*Examples:* Webflow, Wix, Squarespace (these are more for general
websites, but some offer data integration capabilities), some more
specialized IoT platforms might have dashboarding features.
-
*Pros:* Easier to use than traditional coding, can create visually
appealing dashboards, some may have free tiers or lower costs compared to
Power Apps for public-facing scenarios.
-
*Cons:* May still have licensing costs for advanced features or
higher usage, might be less flexible than coding or dedicated
dashboarding
tools for complex real-time data scenarios, might not be as focused on
hardware data as tools in category 2.
*For your specific use case (Home Power Consumption Dashboard):*
Open-source dashboarding tools like *Grafana* or *Node-RED Dashboard* are
likely to be much better fits than trying to force Power Apps into a
scenario it's not designed for.
-
*Grafana* is excellent for visualizing time-series data (like power
consumption over time). It can connect to various data sources (databases,
APIs, etc.) and has powerful charting and alerting features.
-
*Node-RED Dashboard* is part of Node-RED, a flow-based programming tool
often used in IoT and automation. It's very flexible for creating
dashboards and can easily integrate with hardware and APIs.
*In summary, while Power Apps is a powerful tool for building business
applications within the Microsoft ecosystem, it's not the right solution
for creating standalone, license-free HTML dashboards, especially for
real-time hardware data visualization. For that, you should explore tools
specifically designed for web dashboards and data visualization,
particularly open-source options.*
*If you would be interested in building non-PowerApps hacks that serve
PRACTICAL PURPOSES, that would better align with my personal interests. *
