The FIRST place goes to Firebase Played Us! by @sipping

https://hackernoon.com/firebase-played-us?embedable=true

Development is fun, but we always have to be conscious of the little things. Most times when there are problems with the application it is most likely due to our own code error. However, sometimes problems might not even come from our code. It really could just be something as simple as a needed update or like in this case, simple database rules review

Congratulations @sipping, you have won 500 USD!!

In the SECOND place, we have Debugging User Interface (UI) Issues in Mobile Apps: A Comprehensive Guide by @induction

https://hackernoon.com/debugging-user-interface-ui-issues-in-mobile-apps-a-comprehensive-guide/?embedable=true

Sometimes, UI issues can be challenging to identify and resolve just like trying to untangle a bowl of spaghetti with a pair of chopsticksā€”just when you think you've got it, another noodle jumps outšŸ˜!

Congratulations @induction, you have won 300 USD!

The THIRD place goes to How to Not Deal With Errors in Frontend Apps by @playerony
