Day 4, actually

One of our favorite ways to stumble upon Glitch apps is when they're being used to teach people how to build with the newest features of the web, like when @tomayac created this example of the File System Observer API over on the Google Chrome developer site. https://developer.chrome.com/blog/file-system-observer

Our weekly team meetings always have a soundtrack, either a song to kick things off or as background music to work to. This week, it's @adrian's "Melodic Guitar Music". https://open.spotify.com/album/6SuK6GcNCM96MpEKLiaXiW?si=0pnNU3nMT1qkQfYZwDtA4Q

Truly wonderful & unhinged levels of dedication from @davidimel in chasing down the suddenly-ubiquitous ✨ emoji. (Obviously, we ❤️ emoji!) https://mastodon.social/@davidimel@threads.net/112372991512564934 In Glitch, the ✨ button is simple — it runs Prettier to tidy up your code in the editor. You can even customize how it cleans everything up! https://help.glitch.com/hc/en-us/articles/16287511643021-Prettier

Hey, have you checked out our own @TheRealPomax's amazing dive into FLYING PLANES WITH JAVASCRIPT?! (Don't panic — it's just in Flight Simulator.) Definitely worth a read: https://pomax.github.io/are-we-flying/ They're enjoying it over on HN too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40267164

November was a great month for some reflection, and we’re happy to share the many "self-portrait" projects that the Glitch community built during our first code jam.

See those, plus love letters 💌, foster cats 🐱, and manhole covers 🕳️ on the blog!

This month we kicked off our first Glitch Community Code Jam with the prompt "self-portrait" 🍓

Check out https://glitch.com/jams to learn more about jams and how to submit.

Upgrading a platform where every creator is a coder who can have complete control of their code is a tricky process. That’s why we’re asking for your help! 🙏

Want to start (or keep!) building for the fediverse? ☺️

The Glitch Community has been hard at work building tools, bots, instances, and more for you to remix and try yourself.

If you've made a Glitch.com app using the Twitter API, there's no doubt that their announcement of ending free API access will impact you – we're just not sure how yet and are following along with you all to find out what this will look like.

That means there's no better time than right now to use the apps that made Twitter a community-built experience, like @Luca's https://fedifinder.glitch.me, before API support goes away.
