Possibly the most useful demo for me: Skyway.run . Navigation app for the Minneapolis skyways. Did you know downtown Minneapolis has 9.5 miles of skyways connecting most of the buildings? And unfortunately they’re pretty confusing when you’re in them!

My favorite project at #minnedemo41 so far: ZIMS Taxon Profiles for helping zoos manage endangered animals. They can see all the details for endangered animals all over the world, like specific medical histories.
