Action "Interface = understanding": the results of the first stage are summed up

    imageGood evening, dear habradruzy!

    The action "Interface = understanding" continues. Two full days left for us to consider your applications, which - to our great joy - were sent a lot. We want to thank all participants for their interest, correctness and ... understanding.

    Unfortunately, the number of projects that we would like to help for free exceeded the planned rate. For a number of participants, we decided to make an exception by sending them individual offers of cooperation. We also increased the number of projects that will be implemented for a symbolic amount - from 1 to 8 thousand rubles.

    Be that as it may, there are no losers in our promotion. We are ready to offer each user who submits an application a professional implementation of their projects at prices 30-40% lower than market prices. Within two days we will finish forming price offers and, together with links to the work of the organizers of the action, we will send them to the email addresses of the other participants. Thus, about a hundred more projects will get a chance for their solid and high-quality execution at prices comparable to the offers of beginning studios.

    Today we publish a list of 15 projects in the “Interfaces ” category , which we are ready to implement for free and shareware.
