They also took part in the Elevator Pitch-off.

I love numerical coincidence. When we switched over from the first version of the widget, to the second, the user tally stood at 11111. We have now pressed the reset button - the table on the home page shows registrations only on the new widget, not the first prototype.
So far, the time investment into […]

I’m made up that we’ve won second place in the MyVox developer challenge - against some heavy competition.
What was so great about this was that they gave us a hard deadline that we had to meet. And we worked nights, days and weekends to get our entry in. It really drove us forward.
