Just needed to let off some steam. To be completely honest, I’m really disappointed with how the recent @Flowstep challenge turned out. I worked incredibly hard on my submission (https://on.contra.com/MTNWpc), but it felt completely ignored not even a single like or interaction from the Contra team, while other posts received plenty of engagement. On top of that, extending deadlines at the very last minute feels unfair to those of us who managed our time to meet the original date. I've noticed this trend across a few @Contra HQ  challenges lately. It's tough to keep staying motivated when your hard work feels invisible. It's not just this challenge, I've been noticing this pattern in many of the recent challenges. Really lost all hope of winning anymore challenges on @Contra HQ It's just so devastating to work so hard on these submissions just for it to be disregarded and ignored. I guess there is no point in participating anymore. As for this challenge, I dont say I deserve to win over other submissions, but a fair judging would have meant a lot. P.S. The flowstep winners did a great job! No shade against them. I just had the above thought going on in my mind from a lot of weeks and wanted to blurt it out. I needed to share these thoughts here on Contra because I genuinely care about the platform. To be clear, I’m not saying my project deserved to win over the other amazing submissions. However, knowing that everything was evaluated fairly and given equal visibility would have meant a lot. To everyone who read this, thanks for your patience.

I know this feeling firsthand — just had my own work get buried in a last-minute submission rush. Being ignored doesn't mean the work is wrong. The right eyes will find it. Keep going.
