"#Covid object" is a label fit to any product in close relation with the pandemic. #DD17Group7 research's goal is to find out what these objects are, how the price changed and how the open-source community reacted when the production chain failed to deliver the needed goods.

Competition in the #streaming world is fierce: grabbing users’ attention is a big challenge for video platforms. The report of #DD17Group6 aims at defining a taxonomy of the strategies implemented in response to this challenge, by analysing interfaces with a comparative approach.
