Last month on Glitch, the July 2021 edition

How is it that July simultaneously felt like the longest month of the year and like it was over in a blur? However time flowed through your last month, we have a full roster of amazing projects that the Glitch community built over the course of July.

Let’s play a Game 👾

• ~unicode-guessing-game by @christianp is a game where you guess the name given to a Unicode symbol. I'm not great at it!
• If you loved cookie clicker then you need to play ~idle-chicken by @24amesquir right now!
• ~infini-footy by @aTylerRobertson is a multi-player soccer game!
• ~pet-the-loaf is a very important game by @mjlee3w.
• Glitch enthusiast and creative technologist Rich Yee has done it again with kalidoface.com—but this time it’s in 3D. Check it out! 

*~chaos-board is a fun multiplayer soundboard that plays the sounds behind popular *emoji, created by @aTylerRobertson.

Art & Music 🎨

• ~hunter-comic is a beautiful online comic about a doctor and their newfound friend by @amepixel.
• ~vagabond-grove-brook is the dissertation project of @jRoshLam that lets you explore the timbre of sounds, which is what lets us distinguish different instruments from each other. Check out the video about it, it’s really cool stuff and uses the Web Audio API!
• ~philly-public-art by @dudethatbe is a search engine for public art in Philly.
• ~infinethum-ephemeral by @sheIby lets you create generative geometric art.
• ~memoires is an art piece by @n.hieda that lets you traverse through conversations they have with someone.
• Stare too long into ~cyberneticflow by @rodolfoocampo and you may find yourself in another dimension.
• ~molybdenum-supply by @pts is a stunning microfiction web zine.
• ~realless by@monolesan uses Tensorflow.js and your eyes to change the layout of the page as you blink.

*~keyboard-dressup by @anh lets you *map out different colored keys for your next mechanical keyboard.

Miscellaneous and necessary!!

• ~peyote-internet-theatre is @denmch’s first website, a sob Jeff Buckley tribute site. We love when the community uploads their very first websites to Glitch!
• ~2021-reads is a really nice looking reading list by @ivavay.
• ~tweet-image is a utility by @ozgrozer that lets you generate nice images of tweets in case you prefer that over using the JavaScript embeds.
• We love this very adorable web page version of a very adorable tweet, by @mjlee3w.
• ~ajar-distinct-library by @srunika.k uses Teachable Machine to detect if your pronunciation is English or French. Read their blog about it!
• ~rana-maga by @diegose will make an anagram out of what you type. It was suggested to someone as a way to generate a fake username.
• ~affirmations by@cubeghost is an affirmation memes generator from a friend of ours, discovered on a Tumblr timeline! It’s cool to bump into a Glitch app versus just seeking them out!

~three-good-things by @desilove is a really awesome tool for practicing gratitude. This app has been around awhile but is making the rounds again.

Cool tools 😎

• ~shore-lowly-parenthesis is a utility by Google @softplus for grabbing the images from within a Google doc, something that’s normally hella annoying to do.

• ~twb-data-source-mapper maps out the data sources used in a Tableau workbook, created by their product manger, @KeshiaRose.

• ~dark-mattr-theme by @tamojaydey is a very nice theme for VS Code, but we wouldn't mind one day configuring the Glitch editor to use it!

• ~squiggy by @LingDong- is a really cool stroke polygonizer. Check out their profile for other really rad and impressive doodly apps!

• ~direct-img by @lomanic is an awesome tool that helps you get the actual image file from services like Tumblr and Giphy who turn .gif requests into branded landing pages.

• We love this use of our Eleventy starter: ~hospitable-diffeqs is a guide to differential equations by @art.and.math.mmss

• Want to brush up on your JavaScript? Check out ~101-exercises by @ryanorsinger, and you’ll be reversing arrays and umm other stuff, in no time! Fanmail, a.k.a blogs from the community ✍️

• Clive Thompson wrote about his really cool pomodoro timer that we even use, ~text-pomodoro.

• Glitch is used to demo failure states in this blog post about Lighthouse and render blocking

• Logrocket published a tutorial on getting started with the Notion API, which of course uses Glitch as the starting point.

• Check out this interview of Oz Ramos, creator of Handsfree.js and Glitch enthusiast! Glitch using Glitch (because “dogfood” = yuck 😝)

• Shouts out to Casey for making ~standup-time. It’s tools like this that we love to see our community using Glitch for at work, so it’s great to see us modeling that from within. It makes our daily-standups more streamlined. 👏

• Love dev.to? So do we! Check us out over there and follow along for more updates.

That’s it for now friends. Remember you can always check out our collections of monthly project roundups plus other cool apps on the Glitch community page. And if you have Glitch projects you built or love and want us to feature, either share them on the forum, tweet them to us @glitch or email [email protected]—we’d love to see your project in our next roundup! ✨

_The project featured in this post’s header image is ~recursive-cube-split built by @yellarkh, which is a colorful and cool Mondrian-style generative art app.
