Last month on Glitch, the January 2023 edition

Time is a curious thing. There are so many phrases about the passage of it, from “time flies when you’re having fun” to “time is money” and countless others. Standard time was only introduced in the 1880s, so many generations before ours could have experienced it in totally different ways! Whatever your attitude toward time is, January has passed so now it’s time for another roundup of creative Glitch community endeavors.

But first, we launched the Last Year on Glitch 2022 roundup full of beautiful, fun, inspiring and technically incredible apps from the community which you chose! We also managed to sneak a fun update into the editor—the ability to drag and drop. Try it out and let us know what you think in the latest community open thread.

Lastly, we’re looking forward to hiring for a summer internship (paid), so if you’re pursuing an undergraduate degree and able to commit to a 12 week internship between May and August, please apply!

~library-of-colors by @blprnt is a beautiful visualization of the Library of Congress’ digital catalog of books, maps, music, visual materials, computer files and manuscripts. Read more about their process (and inspiration!) in this blog post.
