Last month on Glitch, the April 2023 edition
Webster’s Dictionary defines “April” as being the month when the dictionary was officially copyrighted by Noah Webster on April 14, 1828. There’s probably some other stuff in there too but instead of reading the dictionary, let’s take a look at what the Glitch community created during THIS April, instead.
_SPOTTED: The first Glitch app we’ve seen using the AT Protocol and Bluesky, created by @gsajith_.
🛠️ Cool tools
- ~monoclejs, created by @Utopiah, this tool was created to assist with creating a mobile developer experience using the Monocle! 🧐
- ~permutation-groups, behold, one of the fundamental atoms of symmetry, present in the mathematical fabric of all possible worlds …but in a format you can play with, created by @tesseralis.
- ~hello-deno-fresh, created by @pb.oliver.mcloughlin - we truly love to see a community-created Deno starter!
- ~shema-permutations randomized and represented all of the possible permutations of the Shema—approximately 68,000,000 unique prayers—and was created by @dluxemburg. ♥️
_Hide your secret messages inside of the glitchy noise of this DCT station, created by @ffd8_.
👾 Miscellaneous, but necessary!
- ~random-garbage, created by @ryan.broderick, for Garbage Day fans, press the trash can button and it opens one of the 135 random links pulled from previous issues of Garbage Day in a new tab.
- ~nice-typhoon-kiwi, created by @SummerAnneBurton lets you chat with Summbot for a while to get a custom mixtape made for you!
- ~stop-chinatown-jail, sign up for a templated way to demonstrate your objections to a megajail being built in the Manhattan area of Chinatown.
🕹️ Games and fun
- ~a-fountain, created by @SerenaShen, is a beautiful and creative take on the “Choose Your Own Adventure“ style of games.
- ~the-speaker-zine, Enjoy listening to the very first issue of this new audio zine, created by @fg-j.
- ~keyboard-bashing, created by @christianp, finally gives us the answer to the question “Who among us would not want to bash a keyboard for fun?“
- ~american-treasure-map- is another @mapsmania hit….with potentially life-changing consequences for treasure hunters!!!
Creator @benjamin.hills94 used ChatGPT to create “Luna's Big Adventure,” a cute game based on his girlfriend's dog!
🤖 AI-inspired
- Did Mark fool you? We loved this writeup about how the team at Capgemini’s Applied Innovation Exchange used Glitch and GPT-3 to create a human-curated, AI-published bot for content curation and sharing.
- ~unnotable-people.glitch.me, created by @mapsmania was their fun April Fools prank in which ChatGPT shares the most unnotable people in America's biggest towns and cities.
- ~pretty-impartial-daemonosaurus, created by @EvanMarie is a to-do app built with Glitch and ChatGPT.
And that’s a wrap on another amazing month for the Glitch community! Follow us on the fediverse at @[email protected] where you can share Glitch projects or playlists you built or love and want us to feature!
You can still send them to us via the community forum, tweet them to us @glitch or email [email protected]—we’d love to see your work in our next roundup!
_The project featured in this post’s header image is _~cultured-wooden-krill*, created by @herbst which combines fun RPG-esque gameplay with Unity, Needle Engine, and Glitch.*
