🏆 Telegram Contest for JavaScript Developers, Round 1: Results

After many hours of testing and deliberation, we are now ready to announce the results!

Reworking a text editor – essentially a core component of a messaging app – posed numerous challenges due to the wide range of formatting options and other entities, such as custom emoji.

None of the contestants were able to secure first place, yet we have increased the prize fund for Round 1 by more than 13% to fairly recognize the efforts of the participants.

The judges unanimously agreed to move forward with a second round – which begins immediately.

This time, only the winners of Round 1 will be eligible to participate. More details – in the post below.

And now – meet the winners!
