Happy February, and welcome to the first Glitch Monthly Newsletter of 2023 â and our first time sharing our monthly email to the community here on DEV đ! Itâs also the anniversary of me putting the wrong year in last yearâs February newsletter and, yes, it still keeps me up at night. This edition isnât about my warped connection to time and space, though, but about our warped connection to time and space - like, can you believe a whole month of 2023 has passed already? Can you believe you helped us celebrate the communityâs favorite apps of 2022 already?
Also, can you believe I had this all written out and ready to send out but then Twitter dropped the news that theyâre ending free API support next week? Maybe? If youâve made a Glitch app using the Twitter API, youâll no doubt be affected by however this end-of-support goes. Might I suggest exploring and building the fediverse with us? I am weirdly excited about how this bad news can turn into a new, decentralized, creative community building the web together.
See you on glitch.com!
Jenn, Director of Community đœ
