Good evening, dear habrudruzya!

The action "Interface = understanding" continues. We spent two full days with us for consideration of your applications, which - to our great joy - were sent a lot. We want to thank all the 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.
')
However, there are no losers in our promotion. To each user who submitted the application, we are ready to offer professional implementation of their projects at prices 30-40% lower than the market ones. 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 good-quality and high-quality performance at prices comparable to those offered by novice studios.

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