Here's how: https://dev.to/glitch/verify-your-bluesky-or-mastodon-account-on-your-own-domain-with-a-free-website-1jfn Give it a try!

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

Hey! Want to make your Glitch sites faster, more secure, and even more flexible? Deliver it through Fastly, we'll show you how — including how to use your own domain. https://www.fastly.com/blog/getting-started-with-fastly-cdn-is-easier-than-ever-with-glitch/

oh wow, @xoxo is back?! The beloved indie art & creativity festival is returning in Oregon this August, and at Glitch, we’re helping again to bring you the coolest Art + Code creations on the web. (Plus: our own @jenn is co-hosting!) Check out the details: https://2024.xoxofest.com/

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! 🙏
