Welcome to Laboratory!

Hello, dear user!

We’re glad to welcome you to the start page of Free development lab (RD AAOW FDL).

We’re working (to the best of our ability) on quite different projects and share the latest news. In addition, we publish results of developments, links to working tools and – in general – everything that turns out to be useful. And not only for ourselves, but also for our colleagues: our communities are open for thematic posts.

We’re sure that we will be able to offer you interesting and convenient solutions for typical and specific tasks. Well, or just something entertaining and non-standard. In addition, we will be glad to receive wishes and suggestions, as well as bug reports (descriptions of found problems) on active projects.

We’re looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial cooperation!

A little about the rules:

We take care of our colleagues. Therefore, a Social communities policy was developed and introduced, which is binding on all participants. Please note that it is of a protective and not restrictive nature.
We are also concerned about the ideological values of our communities. Therefore, there is an Application development policy that ensures compliance with all published products and developments.

Both documents are required for familiarization for the most complete understanding of the goals and objectives of the Laboratory

We emphasize that any investment in this asset is solely an investment in application development in full compliance with ADP and support of this concept. If the idea finds support, it can subsequently be used as a trading asset (we have decentralized this token and don’t have the right to issue and burn it).

Thank you in advance!
