Last month on Glitch, the April 2021 edition

We can’t think of a better way to start off a recap of last month than to say that it’s never been easier to get started with Glitch since the recent introduction of our starter apps, including React and Eleventy. We’re already seeing some fantastic new sites, remixes, and suggestions for even more starters!

And finally, after all those winter months, April brought a spring bounty of creativity, art, tools, and a healthy dose of internet magic/nostalgia/silliness to the Glitch community. Here is what you created, curated, incubated, and disseminated during last month.

**Dev tools and tutorials **🛠

• For anybody who wants to get started with Webpack on Glitch, @KumuPaul  created a very minimalist Webpack app with support for hot module reloading. Try out ~hello-webpack-typescript and see the new TypeScript syntax highlighting in action!
• Finally, someone brave enough to speak out about JavaScript, @tesseralis, has created this handy ~js-psa.
• Preview your markdown rendering in a multitude of themes with ~multimark by @javaarchive.
• We love these collections of demos created by @matdesl. ~p5-demos shows you p5.js examples of generative art, motion graphics, and interactive design, and ~tone-demos gives you examples using Tone.js for interactive and procedural sound. Try them out! **Visualizations and fun with data! **📊

*~state-of-nyc is a map app by @jordanderson that with each refresh moves the population of a handful of cities across the map so you *can get the scope of the differences in population around the country.

• ~wikidata-explorer is a remix of ~evergiven-everywhere by @ramiroaznar that visualizes wikidata queries. It’s awesome to see EE used as a remixable starter for other map apps!
• Bill Gates Land Ownership is an app by @doniecasey that lets you see the scale of how much land the Gates owned.
• @eojthebrave scraped the #DrupalCon attendance once a minute from Hopin to visualize the flow of the conference and you can check it out here. **Fun and games **👾

*~tubatutorials by @lanek85502, *will teach you how to play the tuba in less steps than you would think!

• Glitch often comes up in this incremental_games subreddit. It's just folks being wholesome, creating and sharing games that have incremental mechanisms. Try out ~1stgame, by @Dravitar, or  ~sushibeans by @corbancg to start, but only if you can stand to lose focus/attention for hours.
• We love this 2048 clone, ~2048-1070835 by sabrina15hallie using characters instead of numbers.
• Here is your new obsession: with this Gigapet-inspired cat sim by @dpalencia you can remix it to create one for your own cats...we have. **Miscellaneous and necessary **😎

Remix ~away-message by @jdan to create your own nostalgic AIM away message profile, and it was written with one of our faves, 98.css, also created by @jdan.

• It’s still a little chilly at night, here’s a ~quilt-generator to keep you warm, made by @csb324.
• “Tis tea time” according to @jrwren, who made ~tis-tea-time so you can keep track of what kinds are in your pantry, using localstorage.
• If you like making patterns, ~pattern-preview by @ellell is a neat little that shows you what the pattern is as you draw the tile.
• ~veg-calc is a very cute and remixable tax calculator by @kvcarido. Since April has come and gone that means it has officially been one year of ~multiuser-sketchpad by @mrdoob, one of the most viral Glitch apps ever! Take a stroll down memory lane back to the beginnings of quarantine, and watch the time lapse of everyone drawing together. If you have Glitch projects you built or love and want us to feature, share them on the forum, tweet them to us @glitch or email [email protected] - You may just end up in our next roundup! ✨

The project featured in this post’s header image is ~bison-namer, created by @laurenbiron and steph. The Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has bison babies to name, so they created this fun tool. 🦬
