Building is one thing, but getting real people to try your Mini App can help you spot issues, improve the experience, and figure out what to work on next. That's why we've created a new Test My Mini App channel! Here's how to make the most of it: → Share your Mini App and ask the community to try it out. → Test other Mini Apps and give honest, useful feedback. → Help each other improve by sharing suggestions, reporting issues, and pointing out what works well. And if you're taking part in the Reply-Guy Challenge, this is a great place to contribute! Testing other Mini Apps and sharing thoughtful feedback are exactly the kinds of helpful contributions we're looking to reward. Put your Mini App out there, try what others are creating, and help make everyone's projects better. 💪

Some of the best things get built by two people who decided to figure it out together. If you’ve been on the fence about teaming up, this is your sign. Jump into the Find a Co-Founder channel, drop a post about what you’re building and what kind of partner you’re looking for, and see who responds. There are builders in here with all kinds of skills: design, development, marketing, product thinking. Go find your person before November 11!

Across the first two cycles of the Nimiq Mini Apps Competition, we've seen an incredible 204 submissions, with 7 official winners selected! Choosing the winners was no easy task. Many apps impressed us, some came incredibly close to winning, and others simply became personal favorites of the Council. We believe great efforts deserve recognition, even when they don't make it to the podium. That's why the Nimiq Community Council has decided to award $100 USD in $NIM to each of these 9 projects across the 2 last cycles! Special mentions from Cycles 1 and 2: ⭐ Nimiq Bazar by @Angelo ⭐ Nimble by @Arkadiusz Galler ⭐ Savanna Run by @Winnifred Ndukwe ⭐ NimBooks by @Jeremy Lee ⭐ NimHunt (geofaucet app) by @J A ⭐ Nimiq Names by @Enrique Ferrater ⭐ NimMultiSend by @Anita Chan ⭐ Pact by @Adeleke Khaleed These rewards are our way of showing appreciation for the creativity, effort, and passion these builders have brought to the Nimiq ecosystem. Congratulations to all the selected projects, and a huge thank you to everyone who participated! Keep building, keep experimenting, and keep making the Nimiq ecosystem better. Nimiq Community Council
