Useful utility

Skip straight to the rules

Code an application, tool, web-app, mobile-app, widget or similar that is neat, useful, practical and makes someone's day easier. In short, it can be anything as long as its clever and functional.

If you can't come up with something useful, maybe you should consider the Useless Utility compo.

Rules

  1. Hand-in

    Entries must be delivered through the web-based compo system.

    If you really want to make us happy, please hand in a ZIP or RAR file containing the entry itself, and a short text file (file_id.diz/.nfo/.txt) with information about the entry as well as contact info.

    What to deliver?

    A utility application.

  2. Deciding a winner

    The winner will be decided by a jury.

  3. Allowed languages and platforms

    Any, as long as you can demonstrate your utility for us, and on stage.

  4. No-go limit

    The compo will be held if we receive 1 or more good entries. If not, this compo may be cancelled.
