Alright, going live in 5 minutes: @Questlove's tribute to Prince. You won't want to miss this set. The comments are fun on Instagram, but the sound is great on YouTube. (Does anybody want some live liner notes for the stream?)
In true Prince tradition, Questlove is starting late, which should help build anticipation. I am using this time to build an app so I can do live liner notes alongside the set. Wish me luck!
You can use this couple of minutes to donate to Food Hub! Q has been doing all these DJ sets specifically to help feed those in most need — let's all do our part to help. bit.ly/QuestloveYTFoo…
Okay, I've never done this before (pls be kind!), but if you want to see an attempt at live liner notes for Q's set tonight, follow along here — I'll be joined by @IAmMissTLC, a world-class Prince expert.

Very excited I got to shout out my 6-year-long Batdance twitter thread in our liner notes.

If you need a dance party on a Friday night, @questlove is doing an INCREDIBLE set of Prince songs spanning his entire career. I've got the YouTube stream running here, along with live liner notes I'm adding as we go: quest-live.glitch.me
And shout out to @IAmMissTLC the SCHOLAR! Her additions to the liner notes are definitive. Just incredible to discover all these gems while we jam.
So far in the comments, we've had nearly a dozen of Prince's collaborators and friends join the stream. I'm capturing their responses in the liner notes, too — the latest is from @flytetymejam with details on the teenage Prince's keyboard gear!

This week at @Glitch, we launched a paid membership — it makes running apps on Glitch as easy as it is to create them, and you get a shiny little upgrade to your account, too! You should check it out! glitch.com/pricing
But so many thoughtful details have to work perfectly to get all the components of this kind of thing to work. So I wanted to give a glimpse into a few different team members at Glitch, for a look into how this work happens. (And how lucky I am to work with amazing people!)
Victoria led engineering on this product launch, doing an incredible job of coordinating tons of moving pieces while _actually shipping on time_! 😳🤯

You know, it's something really special & rare when the #1 feature people ask for in a product is "Can I pay for this?" Today, I'm super excited to say that the answer for @Glitch is now: YES! You can become a member & lift the limits on all your apps: glitch.com/pricing
I wrote a little bit about what we're introducing today, and I hope you'll take a look, but I can summarize the details here. First, Glitch made it super easy to *build* web apps. But now, we're making it absurdly easy to actually *run* those apps. medium.com/glitch/ready-t…
In the old days, it was easy to run an app or a website; you'd just copy some files onto a server, pay a couple of bucks a month, and it was all set. Now, a normal person can't even understand how cloud services are priced. WTF is a "dyno"? How many "droplets" do I need? 😰😖
