The winners of the Telegram JavaScript Contest have been selected.

Meet the winners:

Incredible size – only 4Kb after gzip. Impressive performance on a wide variety of devices.

Amazing usability and attention to detail. Small things like the shaking animation when you try to disable all data on a graph won our hearts.

Congratulations to the winners!

All participants must have received feedback on their apps from the bot by now. Unfortunately, a large part of the submissions were not optimized for popular mobile devices – either showing critically insufficient performance or not functioning at all. We had to discard all such apps, as well as those that significantly departed from the contest design guidelines.

As a result of Stage 1, we’ve distributed $176,000 among Android, iOS and JS developers. At least another $150,000 will be distributed in Stage 2 that starts later today.

In Stage 2, all submissions will be publicly available for everybody to test and review. The participants of Stage 2 will be able to find and publicly report issues in the apps of their fellow contestants for at least a week before the results are announced.

We’ll be back with details of Stage 2 this evening.
