Quickstart Guide

Hackathon Ideas

Data Visualization

Create a data visualization tool for users to quickly add charts or infographics to their designs. Data visualization should be easily achievable in an Express add-on, especially if you use the following APIS: rectangle, ellipse, vector path, and line. Users have specifically requested the ability to create pie charts, histograms, and Gantt charts. Check out related add-ons: Case (changes text capitalization), Color Designer (generates tins and shades, reads the colors from your document)

Website Design

Adobe Express users create a lot of webpages. You can help them on their journey by building an add-on to solve common pain points or expedite workflows. Check out related add-ons: Color Blindness Simulator (Create inclusive designs by simulating different types of color blindness in real-time), Mockuuups Studio (Place your designs in mockups)

Students

Express is used every day by students. What kind of add-on would help teachers or students in the classroom? Check out related add-ons: To Do (Remember your tasks), Super Map World (Thousands of maps and map graphics), Science Illustrations (The world's largest library of scientific figures)

Data and Bulk generation

Adobe Express users would love the ability to import data and bulk generate assets. You could help them out with an add-on. Check out related add-ons: DataPocket (Connect your eCommerce catalog to Adobe Express), CI Hub (Enterprise productivity with a connection to Digital Asset management and asset libraries)

File Hosting

Adobe Express currently use add-ons to import files from Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive, but those aren’t the only hosting providers on the market! See what you can create. Check out related add-ons: Google Photos, Box Connector.
