This is a legacy hobby project

Made on Foundation framework with AngularJS and some jQuery. Sorry for poorly structured and undocumented (except some comments in Polish) code. Some logic in HTML file. App was not made to be public at first. On the plus side, code is very short, with main js file ~150 lines.
