Some things we built together:

- "Live driving telemetry"-to-"Audio assisted driving partner"
- Public transit commute planner
- Vote-streaming voting app
- Chat apps with twists
- Mass corpus search + OCR viewer
- [Area Denial](https://github.com/flowercomputers/bogkit/pull/1): A location-based team game with live scorekeeping
- Time-reversible arena shooter
- ... and much more!

We learned a lot from everyone present - thanks to everyone who made it out.

We'll see you at [the next one](https://partiful.com/e/Vq9fyDNCMSO7ia4ulK5b)!
