This is the last Glitch newsletter I am posting here (not clickbait)

Welcome to the August newsletter.I was looking up some inspiration on how to open it and found a sketchy website that said that the official animal of August is the starfish which is a sign of renewal. That could be totally made up but, whatever, thisisa time of renewal for a lot of you: students and teachers going back to school, folks getting back to work after summer vacation, and I imagine starfish are feeling a renewed sense of relief that they were not collected on the shore by said vacationers (note: I’m acomputerscientist, not an ocean scientist).

This is a time of renewal for me, too. After serving as your community leader for the past 7.5 years (21.4% of the average lifespan of a starfish, according to a less sketchy website called Wikipedia), I’m leaving Fastly at the end of this month. You and I are insuchgood hands with the rest of the Glitch team – without them, we’d not be on the path we are to deliver on the strategy I laid out earlier this year, and I wouldn’t feel as good about my decision to leave this job as I do today. I can’t wait to see them grow the platform and community and help usallshare and discover the best parts of the web. Please be kind to them, as they work so hard for us and love Glitch as much as I do.

So, this post headingwasn’tclickbait. Going forward you’ll be hearing from the rest of the incredible Glitch team. As for me, I’ll be reading those newsletters, chatting with you in the forum, continuing to enjoy your cool apps, taking part in code jams, and maybe even finishing some of the hundreds of Glitch apps I’ve started through the years. I can’t wait to share what I create with you! In the meantime, the rest of this newsletter is full of, you guessed it, cool apps and blogs you shared over the past month.

See you on glitch.com

On the blogs ✍️

• Check out some of the apps you shared on the web in the July community roundup that will help you generate wishes, generate waves, see the moon, and - yes - make it seem like Kamala Harris likes your favorite band.
• Sue has more resources to get you started with Glitch on Fastly - especially if you want to set up a custom, secure domain for your Glitch app. Check out the video on the blog and her great and comprehensive intro to edge computing on the Fastly dev.to - you’re going to want to follow that blog because it’s rich in helpful, informative content!

Let us know what tutorials and guides you’d like to see to help you supercharge any of your projects using Fastly!

Here are some blog posts from the community that we loved!

• At least 112 blogs and news sites, according to my research, have shared their versions of Kamala Holding Vinyls. By far the most iconic, though, was from the Charles Mingus estate - whose record started it all.
• I often prefer reduced motion, and you can learn about what that means and how to oblige me and others’ preferences in Google Chrome’s web.dev article about it.
• Soon-to-be-fellow Glitch alum, Keith, made a wave generator for our code jam last month!
• One thing I’ll never stop doing is collecting and giving out Glitch stickers. Andy gave us a lot of love on his blog after I sent stickers out to them and our external sites beta testers.
• I wasn’t at PragueJs but I loved reading Jan’s talk about the web we’ve never lost. Glitch got a shout out but it was really cool to see Stefan get the spotlight for his bot work that just happens to be on Glitch.

Have you written about your Glitch apps on a blog, a conference talk…anywhere? Let us know and we’ll feature it in the next newsletter!
