Introducing
The Finalists of
#Shipaton Blogging Contest
by RevenueCat & HackerNoon
As we made clear when we launched the contest, we weren't necessarily looking for the most successful apps. A well-documented mistake, an intelligent pivot, or a technical breakthrough could make for an equally compelling story.
With that in mind, we reviewed the submissions and narrowed the field down to 10 finalists. Let’s meet them (in no particular order)!
