It's really extraordinary to see the ways educators are using @Glitch to help students and enable a new generation of brilliant creators to easily get their ideas onto the web. Here's a thread:
At @RISD, check out the final show that the Live Performance for Online Audiences class is doing on Sunday:
At @CarnegieMellon, brilliant and expressive interactive experiments with motion sensing on new devices.
At @lausdLDE in East LA, a student-led (!) program to learn how to make websites for each other.
At @NYUniversity, a live-coding algorave — and you can join for the second day of the event tomorrow!
There are so many more examples beyond these, but it's so exciting that the same place that so many experienced coders use to build apps for their teams is *also* where the next generation of brilliant creators are learning to create & share their ideas of what technology can be.

A couple years ago, we launched @Glitch based on the idea that radically lowering barriers for coders to turn ideas into live apps can unlock a lot of creativity. (And magic!) It *worked.* Today, coding in your browser is now mainstream, & millions of apps have built on Glitch…
So, it’s time to take the next big step: Making it easy to instantly build and share a real app with your colleagues, coworkers or collaborators. Not just coding an app together, *using* an app together. blog.glitch.com/post/the-easie…
What stands in the way? Well, deploys + version control + provisioning used to be hard, but Glitch made all those automatic. But one thing's still missing: privately sharing apps. Today, we’ve made sharing an app as easy as sharing a doc on Google Docs — *publicly or privately*.

Three of the most powerful rhetorical framings that were perfectly articulated by tweets:

* my t-shirt answers that question
* Ah! Well. Nevertheless,

In a year that’s been absolute shit, I am grateful to have an extraordinarily great re-release of my favorite album ever. I don’t think I’d imagined a double album like Sign O’ The Times could be augmented with another *three albums* worth of equally wonderful material, but!
Earlier, a thread on the release of the set:
This was me excitedly tweeting the moment we found out the set was coming.

This is an absolutely vital read about how Trump and his cronies are going to subvert the election results between November 3 and Inauguration Day. The mechanisms are clear and neither media nor opposition leaders are prepared for this level of corruption. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi… Image
Vote early, in person, if you are safely able. Contact your state-level electeds and push them until they explicitly address *this* risk — instead of the dismissive denial that most politicians are offering. And reject any media ignoring this risk; they’re committing malpractice.

Hello tech support Twitter! On a Mac running Catalina, I’m saving a recording in QuickTime Player and neither the Save… nor Export As > menu items produce the save file dialog box. The windows are not small/offscreen, they don’t appear at all. No other apps affected. Any ideas?
LOL, after getting multiple suggestions to try the scary move of just clicking the close icon, I did, and I got.... a beachball and nothing else. (I *can* copy the entire track — but can't paste it into GarageBand or other audio apps. Hmm?)
Ah hah! Thanks to @gl33p & @Diana_E_Prince, I've been alerted to the location where QuickTime Player (my nemesis; a piece of shit) stores its temporary files and now we have the elusive recording. Path is at the bottom or in alt text if you need it. ~/Library/Containers/com.Ap...

This is a sweet and charming gallery of online games made by @biomecollective. It's fun to explore and reminds us how creativity on the web can be so expressive and fun biome-gallery.glitch.me But it also shows something more...
The Biome team worked by remixing what @molleindustria had created for @likelikearcade recently, the online Museum of Multiplayer Art likelike.glitch.me They didn't have to start from scratch to get their idea up and runnning.
Just by looking at these sites, it's clear that the web doesn't have to be all misery and surveillance and the products of big companies. And we're also seeing creators from around the world building off of each other's work, lowering the barriers to expressing our own ideas.
