The competition itself included 24 hours of development followed by two-minute presentations of the results of the teams before the jury, which resulted in the selection of six finalists.

Thus, splitting up a noisy company account becomes easier than ever. No cash, cash back or confusion with bills (who among those who read this article, participated in habrowstorms , may recall that the establishments will never bring a separate bill to a company from more than 10 people). Now - no confusion.
But at the end of the application will inform all participants of the party, when their friends safely get home.

As residents of London, we well know how to get around the city where we need, so we rarely need to plan our movements, but we do not know how busy the roads are in certain directions. We have created an application that allows you to measure the status of traffic in the system so that our users can make the most convenient route from point A to point B
