🏆 Telegram Contest for JavaScript Developers, Round 2: Results

We were pleased to see both participants from Round 1 and those who joined the Telegram Contests for the very first time! The Contest Task, which covered multiple areas of the app (implementing a new feature, adding another feature that heavily relies on the existing codebase, and fixing an obscure issue), proved to be particularly challenging for the contestants, with no one completing all three tasks.

Most contestants focused on the Media Editor, so the judges adjusted their evaluation accordingly. After many hours of testing, we are pleased to confirm that Hip Hyena secured 🥇1st PLACE by delivering the best media editor among all the submissions. This time, given the input each contestant contributed, we will reward everyone who implemented at least one contest task, even if their implementation wasn't perfect.

Meet the winners!
