Great job! Keep it up!)
By the way, the landing pages look cool!

[heyod]

Согласен. За четыре месяца проделана немалая работа, как по лендингу, так и по размещению различных материалов о проекте на специализированных площадках и форумах. Более 28000 просмотров на трех различных языках (английский, русский, индонезийский) - я считаю, что это очень достойный показатель по привлечению внимания к нашему проекту.

I agree. A lot of work has been done for four months, both on the landing page and on the placement of various materials about the project on specialized sites and forums. More than 28,000 views in three different languages (English, Russian, Indonesian) - I think this is a very worthy indicator of attracting attention to our project.

Hello. Great work. The most important thing is to attract new development teams to increase the volume

[Alex077]

Thanks for the good rating, we are working on attracting new developers to the Free TON ecosystem and I must say. it is a very complex process.

[Whited35]

Amazing! It would not be possible without one’s continuous effort to popularize the Free TON product and services to attract the developers, seriously we need more technical people in the Free TON ecosystem. Great job brother, keep it up

[JoJo]

Wow, I didn’t expect so much views.

[Greek]

Сколько тебя знаю, всегда удивляюсь, работы всегда делали море, я порой забываю где и что сделали, но у тебя всегда все по полочкам.
Посмотрел отвой отчет и действительно работу вы провели колоссальную. Медленно но верно, обратим ещё большее внимание к проекту разработчиков.

[p.prigolovko]

Well done! Going forward it will be better to do more promotion on non Rusian speaking sites.

[lesnik_utsa]

Thank you - the developers’ topic is a bit specific and at the beginning we tested our approach a little. There are already plans to develop further with such advertising - including with foreign sites (not only English-speaking ones)

[emmorozov]

Important work, support. But more needs to be done in attracting developer teams in the US, Europe and other non-CIS locations. As someone living in the US I must say we still have a very long road to recognition and adoption of our superior technology and ecosystem in this country.

Please also note a contest in freeton.academy called DevPride to support ongoing development efforts. Free TON Community

[Alex077]

Thank you for your feedback, it is very important to us. And about the developers from the United States and Europe, so we work with all countries, around the world and we have websites with an audience from the United States, but unfortunately so far there is little response from these countries. Many factors play a role here, and first of all they do not understand the contest payment system for their work …!

And of course we will try to help with your contest, post an announcement on different sites and perhaps we will take part in it ourselves.
