FunTime was born in a couple of tweets. Laura (@p0nja), Juancho's mom, tweeted "I have an idea for an app to helps childs with GDD and autism handle time" (or something like that) and then another tweet by our team (@codigodelsur) "Ok, we like the idea, count on us" (or something like that), so in 5 minutes we had a project. This first version of FunTime is the result of the first passionate 3 weeks of work, as dreamers we are, we hope it really helps thousand of kids all over the world to manage time in a better way, but just by helping one will be good enough for us to let us go to bed happy.
