Slytherins stick together. In light or dark times the spirit within SlytherIN is high. And as the project comes together it only get’s higher. The sky is the limit.
Around the table or casting dark curses on our competitors we do it all with a smile.
With delicious pizza fueling our spirits, we’re proudly claiming three badges! In this blog post, we’ll dive in with the same courage and determination Harry displayed in the Triwizard Tournament.
💣 Feature bombing
From the very beginning, our goal has been to unite multiple platforms into one seamless, feature-packed experience with a Weasleys’ twist. On our homepage alone, users can:
These features don’t just exist – they’re alive and interactive, ensuring the experience is magical, dynamic, and fun. We’ve officially mastered the art of feature bombing (without overwhelming) and are ready to claim this badge!
🦎 Chameleon
Our app is built with adaptability at its core, ensuring a magical experience no matter what device you’re using. Whether it’s the compact elegance of an iPhone 13 or the expansive screen of an iPad, our interface scales perfectly without compromising usability or design.
Below, you can watch a short video showcasing the app’s responsiveness in action. Magical, right?
And last but certainly not least, the…
🥳 Remarkable team spirit
Of course, we have to share with the world how incredible this weekend has been!
Go check it out, and don’t forget to give Iselin a like! —> https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:ugcPost:7288637216099127297/
We have also been posting on Snapchat, Instagram and the Bouvet internal Slack channel! #sharingiscaring 😉
Now, we’re off for a swim! 🏊♀️✨
Nothing better than to start day developing by the pool
Even before the sun was up, we were wide awake—coffee mugs in hand and Harry Potter costumes at the ready! Our team is determined to grab that Morning Glory badge for our early start, and we’re keeping the energy high to earn the Remarkable Teamspirit badge. We’ll snap plenty of photos (wands and laptops included) and share the excitement across our social channels. Here’s to a day of coding magic and unbreakable camaraderie!
As a developer, there are plenty of challenges that push our coding and problem-solving abilities to new heights. But what happens when you throw a bit of creativity and a touch of magic into the mix? Well, that’s exactly what is happening at the Arctic Cloud Developer Challenge. Not only that we are deep diving into cloud technologies and tackling some truly innovative problems, but we also having a blast embracing our inner nerds with Harry Potter-themed costumes and decorations. 🪄✨
But the true magic of the challenge lay in how our team is working together! Each member of our team is bringing something unique to the table, whether it was deep technical knowledge, fresh ideas, or a skill for problem-solving. We are leaning on each other’s strengths, just like a well-balanced Hogwarts house working together to conquer a tough assignment.
We got our Hogwarts Express tickets, so Harry and Hermione went through the 9 and 3/4 platform! Don’t believe it? Here’s the proof!

Overflowing with excitement, we’re thrilled to once again embark on the incredible journey of the Arctic Cloud Developer Challenge! This year, we’ve leveled up, armed with fresh strategies and sharpened skills, ready to tackle whatever challenges come our way. The energy is electric, the team spirit is soaring, and we can’t wait to see where this adventure takes us!
We’ve also brought along our trusty companion, Gilderoy Lockhart, to add a touch of flair and exceptional storytelling to our journey. Every post we share is genuinely our own—crafted with care and originality, never borrowed or stolen from others 😉
Having started the last lap of the race we want to share some of the fun we’ve had at camp. Both within our team and in collaboration with others. Having been placed in the centre of the room, it has been an utter privilege and an honor blasting mario tunes for everyone’s enjoyment.
We are all rocking matching outfits, even taking into account other people’s nostrils, by bringing more than one outfit!
Other notable features of the camp includes a lot of bananas. Cut-out bananas and 3d-printed bananas, of course! Wouldn’t it be easier to use actual bananas, you might ask. Well of course it would – but then we wouldn’t be able to have arts and crafts sessions!
Camp tour:
We have also given and received help throughout the event. Here are some photos of Herman helping INtendo DS with App Service config, and us receiving help with some prototyping:
General vibe:
Throughout the challenging days of coding and inventing awesome features, our team has consistently demonstrated strong camaraderie. We bond over rounds of Mario, sharing hearty laughs, and enjoying refreshing beers together.
You’ve likely heard our laughter echoing through the room in recent days!
Look at some of this awsome pictutres
As the night deepens at the hackathon, our team’s resolve only strengthens. With the outside world cloaked in darkness, the glow of our monitors lights up our determined faces. Remi delves into the heart of game development, fine-tuning mechanics to ensure our game is as engaging as it is seamless. His dedication to crafting an immersive experience is a beacon of our team’s passion for excellence.
In parallel, Sindre channels his creativity into Power Page styling and design, focusing on creating a visually appealing and intuitive user interface. His efforts to blend form with function are pivotal, ensuring that our project not only captivates but is also accessible and enjoyable for users. Together, their work epitomizes our team’s dynamic capabilities and unified goal: to deliver a project that stands out for its innovation and user-centered design, proving that even as the night wears on, our spirit and productivity soar.
