The photo and video app Fabby served as a proof-of-concept of the tech. Fabby became popular among users and was highly reviewed by experts (the app twice became №1 in its category on ProductHunt[14]).

Together with Mail.Ru it will do a lot to improve open geographical data, will become global and big 100%. There are the skills, the knowledge and the money to make it happen”[19]MAPS.ME acquisition garnered a lot of media attention and was featured among the most significant deals of Runet[20] (Lenta.ru, the Runet, VC.ru[21]). “Thanks to this deal the popular cartographic service is now available for free”.[22] At the moment of the deal “the app was downloaded more than 7 million times and it was one of the most popular in the “Travel” section in more than 100 countries”.[23] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2017/11/03/mapbox-acquires-mapdata-to-help-it-expand-into-ar-maps/|title=Mapbox acquires neural network startup Mapdata to help it expand into AR maps|last=|first=|date=|website=Techcrunch|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2018-03-20}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=https://ej.by/rating/business2017/yuriy-melnichek.html|title=Yury Melnichek profile|last=|first=|date=|website=https://ej.by|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.socialweekend.by/social-weekend-10.html|title=Social Weekend partners|last=|first=|date=|website=http://www.socialweekend.by|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://events.dev.by/open-data-science-meetup-1|title=Open Data Science Meetup|last=|first=|date=|website=dev.by|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://dev.by/lenta/main/itogi-2017|title=Dev.by 2017 outlook|last=|first=|date=|website=dev.by|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://itmentor.by/articles/top-50-person-v-belorusskom-it-2017|title=Top-50 persons in Belarusian IT|last=|first=|date=|website=http://itmentor.by|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=https://ej.by/rating/business2018/yuriy-melnichek.html|title=Top-200 successful and influential Belarusian businessman 2018|last=|first=|date=|website=ej.by|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 8. ^{{Cite web|url=https://probusiness.io/do_it/2780-top-40-belorusskikh-predprinimateley-do-40-let.html|title=Top-40 Belarusian entrepreneurs under 40|last=|first=|date=|website=https://probusiness.io|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 9. ^{{Cite web|url=https://dev.by/lenta/main/bulba-ventures|title=Bulba Ventures launch story|last=|first=|date=|website=dev.by|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=https://tech.onliner.by/2018/03/21/startup-45|title=OneSoil overview|last=|first=|date=|website=onliner.by|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=https://news.tut.by/economics/585735.html|title=WANNABY overview|last=|first=|date=|website=news.tut.by|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 12. ^{{Cite web|url=https://medium.com/@globaltechbox/82-how-soon-will-we-fasten-our-seat-belts-in-an-autonomous-airplane-with-daedalean-4baa3d27dfce|title=#82: How Soon Will We Fasten Our Seat Belts In An Autonomous Airplane with Daedalean?|last=Innovation|first=GlobalTechBox com-Startups, Tech &|date=2017-07-24|website=Medium|access-date=2018-05-29}} 13. ^{{Cite web|url=https://news.tut.by/economics/556238.html|title=AIMATTER overview|last=|first=|date=|website=TUT.by|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 14. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.producthunt.com/posts/fabby-2|title=Fabby -
