• Max Henning Junghans
• Sebastian Guhl
• Steffen Marbach

Another group of students implemented more functionality that adds to the application:

• Brian Rickert

They were supported by Juljan Bouchagiar and Lars Vosteen of the Institute of Software Engineering and Programming Languages at the University of Lübeck, as well as Jan Lukas Matyssek and Joshua Wiedekopf, who are volunteers in the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief.
