Great job everybody!
Congrats, Sitebase

and all those who participated :)
Congratulation guys, Enjoy the day :)
I love “Clientele”. Simple, easy, and very useful. I’ll definitely have to pick it up.
Congratzz!!
There were some really great files on Codecanyon these last few weeks. I hope it doesn’t stop I love spending my money there.
Congrats to sitebase, 23andwalnut and special congrats to aeroalquimia for a fantastic idea :)
Congrats winners, very talented and well thought out applications.
Congrats everyone!
The slider script is pretty damn amazing! I am going to buy it right now =).
Congratulations to all the winners!
However, I do wish the contest allowed more time, especially if they wanted a top-notch, well thought out script, that allowed both enough to code the script, test the script, and actually come up with the script.
I would’ve loved to enter the contest, but lack of time (About a month) to do all the above, just won’t have a great quality script.
I recommend having longer timeframe and more narrow spectrum (As in, best of project management apps or best of calendar/rsvp apps, etc.) of application contests.
Congratzz everybody!
