4 projects reviewed live: what to fix before you submit
Hi builders,
The recording of our SPECS Live Review is up. Joe and I reviewed four projects live (Aftershock, Next Hold, SkyHangar and MWNP) and walked through exactly how we judge. Even if your project wasn't on screen, most of the feedback applies to yours.
Watch the Live Review. It has chapters, so you can jump straight to the judging criteria or a specific review.
If you joined us live, tell us how it went. It takes 2 minutes and shapes the next session: take the survey.

This Thursday: get live feedback on your SPECS project
Hi builders,
Round 1 closes Nov 9 at 5:00 PM ET. Before you submit, bring your project to the SPECS Live Review this Thursday and hear what the judges look for.
What it is
SPECS Live Review: Inside the Judging Criteria is a live session where the Devpost team walks through how Learn AR with SPECS projects are judged, then reviews a few projects in progress on screen: what's working, and what to fix before you submit. You don't need a finished build. A Lens in progress, a prototype, or a rough idea all work.

Fix for issues logging into Lens Studio
Hey all,
Some builders reported issues with the CLAD plugin failing a readiness check in their coding agents when they tried logging into the Lens Studio/SPECS platform. (You can read more about this issue here). We've got a fix! If you encounter this problem, downgrade to this version of Lens Studio: https://ar.snap.com/download/v5-23-2
The SPECS team has been super reponsive so if you encounter any other errors please drop a note in the discussion forum or on Discord and I'll happily pass it on if I don't know how to fix it. Thanks all, excited to see what you build.
