Couldn't find Eric's Twitter handle originally, but here he is: @eric_bae!

After a short delay, we've got our 4 winners for the first Larajam event. We had a lot of good submissions, but these submissions really stood out in terms of uniqueness and overall polish. So without further ado, here are the winners...

[Larajam.dev @larajamdev]

Eric Bae built an app called Rockmelon that lets you bundle multiple links into a single short link. Clicking this link opens all other links in one go, a massive time saver and definitely something people will find useful. Eric went above and beyond, building an API too! ...

[Larajam.dev @larajamdev]

@rachid_in Yeah, I'll be putting the winners on the page this weekend!

[Larajam.dev @larajamdev]

How long should the Christmas Larajam run for?

[Larajam.dev @larajamdev]

The remaining prizes from this event will be carried over to the Christmas one so we've still got plenty to give away. Thanks again for supporting the event. We hope to see you all participate in the future alongside new participants!

[Larajam.dev @larajamdev]

We'll be making an announcement in a week or two regarding a Christmas Larajam event that will be a week long, so keep an eye out for that!

@WyattCastaned44 built an app, PeerGoals, that lets you introduce peer accountability, creating goals and adding your peers to let them track progress. There are some fancy effects when you mark a goal as complete too. Wyatt has won a copy of Eloquent Performance Patterns.

[Larajam.dev @larajamdev]

@nathanheffley built an app called Gamified Chores that lets you earn points for completing tasks. It includes a basic test suite, a small Halloween theme and a minimalistic UI. Nathan has won a license to @razor_ui kindly provided by @LarsKlopstra. Great work Nathan!

@sideprojectors We'll be announcing the winners on Friday. Sorry for the delay, it's been a busy few weeks and we had a couple of issues with prizes. Our 4 winners will be announced in a couple of days.

[Larajam.dev @larajamdev]

We're still reviewing some submissions. We'll hopefully have our 4 winners by the end of the week and will announce them and share their projects on a livestream the following week!

Kieran Smith has won the @phpstorm license.
@nathanheffley has won a copy of Laravel Secrets by @bobbybouwmann and @stefanbauerme.
