Projects
Thus far the Prototype Fund has funded 248 projects. Here they are:
Topics
Datavisualization
Timeline
Code
As you know, one of the criteria for our funding projects is that they develop open source software and that they publish their source codes after the funding period ends. We believe that ideas that are shared offer new starting points for projects and cooperation. We also want to ensure that funded projects can be maintained and developed in the future.
To make it easy for you as developers to find these sources, we’ve collected them on our GitHub account.
