Just watching @natfriedman on the #GitHubSatellite feed, really curious to see what's announced today as the GH team seems to be on a roll lately.
"In the age of social distancing, people are turning to social coding." I like that line. :) (Obligatory plug for @GlitchDevs and awesome ways to use GitHub + Glitch together, like in deployment: dev.to/glitch/automat… )
Talking about how GitHub is focusing on community, including ways to have conversations & even say thanks. GitHub Discussions is designed to be a "town square". (Nat mentions giving thanks — we think gratitude is so important, we built it into Glitch!) medium.com/glitch/no-than…
