Switch Homebrew Bounty Month 2: and the winner is...
The GBAtemp Homebrew Bounty is a massive competition that aims to boost the Switch homebrew scene by giving rewards to a selection of the best homebrew projects.
This second month, we reward Switch applications, that is to say, applications that run natively on the Switch. There are 4 categories in total.
The voting process is twofold: the staff gets to vote, and some members can vote too (in separate threads). We only allowed patrons to vote in order to limit possible fraud, and also to reward them for supporting us. We've just counted the votes. And the winners are...
PRIZE #1: $1,000 (USD) reward
NX-Shell, by @Joel16
PRIZE #2: $500 (USD) reward
pPlay, by @cpasjuste
PRIZE #3: $300 (USD) reward
Idn_mitm, by @spacemeowx2
PRIZE #4: $150 (USD) reward
Goldleaf, by @XorTroll
PRIZE #5: $55 (USD) reward

To the 5 winners: I will be sending you a private message individually in the coming days, stay tuned.
