Round is community-focused, mobile event publishing platform to browse, curate and react on events and experiences in the city. It's your day-to-day urban Medium.We see a common problem for big cities — Most still rely on googling, word-of-mouth and niche websites to find experiences and events in the city. About 80% of searches go through Google to some little niche sources instead of direct discovery, which is the trend on other markets. This is a bad and long experience for users and makes it hard to engage this audience and convert to followers for hosts and media.Besides the community and content layer we also work on proving a better feedback and data layer. We ask users share “reactions” when they visit events or places. Reactions are similar to check-ins, but it’s not just “I’m here” message, but “I’m here” and ”I feel happy” or “I’m bored” or other emotional message. A way to evaluated events by friends and influences. This data becomes a foundation for making good matches within community and proving powerful analytics to publishers.

We run a design and tech studio for full stack product design in Europe. We designed digital products from scratch, brought designs to life and helped others do the same. Great ideas with intersection of technology and design were at the core of what we did.

Just Mail is based on the I2P network, proven for decades AES algorithms, public and private keys and it stores data in distributed hash tables. When user sends a email, our app encodes it, divides it and saves it into the distributed network. The addressee receives a magnet link ( similar to torrent ) that allows him to get his email through random nodes. Every Just Mail user will transport and temporary store random parts of hundreds of someone else’s correspondence which cannot be read if you are not the addressee. Users keep data only during transfer, most of the time we store it on our servers.
