Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 5)

BoothWall is a live photo wall system for events: guests scan a QR code, upload photos from their phones, and approved images appear as polaroids on a Fire TV or any browser screen. It combines a React Native Vega OS TV app, a React web wall sharing the same code, a small Cloudflare Workers backend with Durable Objects for realtime updates, and host controls for moderation and presentation themes. The project is notable for its careful Vega OS support, dual-platform rendering, and polished demo experience.

Target audience: event organizers, backend developers, full-stack developers, Fire TV developers
