Today's the day! We are excited to announce the winners of the KendoReact Free Components Challenge.
From mine safety monitoring to DEV Challenge trackers (how meta!) to interactive puzzle games, we were impressed by the creativity and variety of use cases submitted by participants. Each project showcased KendoReact's modern UI components, and many demonstrated how AI tools can accelerate workflows.
We hope you enjoyed working on your submission and are proud of what you accomplished, regardless of whether or not you take home the prize.
Without further ado, our winners.
Congratulations To…
