At @Glitch, our whole team has been hard at work powering up everything we do, and it’s been a while since I last updated everybody, so I wanted to share some pretty incredible recent highlights. (This is a “Please RT the tweets that are exciting to you” thread!) 🎏🎉💫
Brand new: introducing Glimmer! It’s a new magazine, telling the tech stories that no one else will — showing off undersung creators & looking at technology as only a community of coders can. glitch.com/glimmer/post/g… ✨
Just today, Glimmer has a deep dive into YouTube’s new privacy policy (and whether it actually protects kids), the real impact of apps supporting gender-neutral pronouns, a Glitch creator who‘s making streets safer & podcasts like the new @openworldpod. glitch.com/glimmer/
Glimmer also connects Glitch with the larger creative world, like our friends at @CapitolRecords & @Mapbox, who joined as community sponsors. *Everyone* wants to see stories about tech that inspires. Got a pitch? glitch.com/glimmer/post/i… Wanna partner? glitch.com/glimmer/catego…
Next: We want Glitch to be in the toolkit of *every single coder*. Glitch may be colorful, but it ain’t a toy — that’s why we’re giving devs all the key features you’ve asked for. (Yep, paid power features are coming!) Sign up, and we’ll let you in first. glitch.com/coming-soon?ut…
We’ve super-powered the tools devs use every day. Starter apps are more full-featured, so you’re instantly running. Our VS @Code extension is updated. Python? We got you. New tutorials, starter kits & more are at dev.to/glitch & glitch.com/create & @glitchdevs.
Oh, and every Github repo needs a “Remix on Glitch” button to show off your live, running app! (No more struggling to keep a demo of your app or library up to date.) glit.ch.it/383aiHB
This phase for Glitch is building the foundations of a solid business, all in support of our amazing, friendly, inclusive, creative community. We’re inspired every single day by what you create, and want to tell those stories to inspire others. glitch.com/glimmer/catego…
At Glitch, we’ve made coding & creating on the web profoundly easier, and you responded by building millions of apps to solve problems at work, to share weird & cool ideas, or to learn where tech is headed next. Little by little, we are making the web better! ⚡️🎏
