Last month on Glitch, the June 2022 edition
This latest edition of the Glitch community roundup is dedicated to everyone who has tried to do a new thing and learned something cool. Experimenting is brave and sometimes frustrating work, and we think it’s important to commend everyone who tries! All this is to say that we wouldn’t even be able to put together a roundup without you visionary, mistake-making, project sharing people! Thank you for creating and giving the community new ideas to try each and every single day.
Other things that happened in June ☀️
- Fastify updated to v4 so Glitch starters got a little bit smarter too!
- We introduced a new series called This Was Too Big to Fit in Our Newsletter, learn how our homepage rainbow headers came to be!
- We’re asking for your ideas that could help determine what kind of Glitch gear gets made! And now, onto the good stuff. In June 2022, the Glitch community created these.
The World of WebXR 🥽

- ~noiseless-sepia-ornament by @elvia.vasconcelos is a really awesome documentation of their process in turning their sketch notes into other media like embroidery and ceramics. Also take a look at ~hushed-wheat-chips, an intimate, visual essay challenging the process of questioning.
Petty but we stan 🙌

The coolest of tools 😎

As always, if you have Glitch projects or playlists 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 work in our next roundup!
*The project featured in this post’s header image is ~softxels-walker by creator @DaniGatunes, who is always blowing our minds with their Three.js and generative 3D work. Using their library softxels.js they created ~softxels-walker and many other generative walker experiments for generating 3D worlds on the fly.
