Last month on Glitch, the September 2021 edition
Wowza, did you know that there are only 91 days left in 2021? With 274 down, we can’t wait to see what the Glitch community does in the next three months. Here are some of the cool, useful, and downright fascinating things you all built during the last 30 days—including playlists *and an exciting giveaway! *🤯
Your September Playlists
- Official Tutorials & Templates is a playlist of apps to get you started on your journey with Tensorflow.js, curated by the official @TensorFlowJS team
- Poetry Bots is a playlist of apps that let you create poetry in unique ways. Curated by @pomeranian99, he’s including bots that he’s created as well as poetry apps from the community.
- Community Starters is a playlist of a variety of starters that you can choose from to remix and go, curated by @khalby786!
- @SteGriff curated Things to make with Vue to share starters and demos of Vue for and by the community. Built a playlist (or two) of your own, or looking to start? For the entire month of October, we’re partnering with Google Registry to give out 50 free .dev and .app domains every week to Glitch creators who curate and submit playlists that will inspire and empower the community. Submit yours by filling out this form for a chance to get a domain of your own! 🎉** 🆓**
Now, here are some of our other fave highlights from the Glitch community during the month of September.
We ❤️ the Web

-
~favicon-chat is a chat client that displays primarily in the favicon, another @aTylerRobertson original.
-
~propper by @robertbrook makes articles easier to read—just put “https://propper.glitch.me” in front of the URL of any other site. Cool tools 😎
-
~open-lab-notebook is a LaTex notebook by @OkayHughes, a computational atmospheric scientist.
-
A few weeks ago was @stegriff's 3 year anniversary in the forum so he made ~glitch-timeline.glitch.me to celebrate and visualize a timeline of his projects! Oh, and he also made ~eversince, a PWA track/counter app!
-
~webhid-ds4 by @joegaffey demos WebHID by visualizing key presses when you connect your Playstation 4 controller via USB.
-
~awesome-stack by @jinmayjhaveri006 is an API for showing which stack your GitHub repos are built with.
Games and works of art 🎨
*~cosmic-lizard-cornet built by @DavidAl*linReese is just a thing of beauty to enjoy.

Miscellaneous and necessary! 🦕
*~infinite-dinos by @csb324 generatively creates dinosaurs...has JavaScript GONE TOO FAR??

- ~jeopardy-answer by @Fortyseven62953. What is an app that lets you create Jeopardy! screens? Check out the creator’s blog post about it!
- ~age2death by @LingDong- detects your face and then makes you decay—it’s so gross! We love it.
Truly, September had it all—fat bears, Jeopardy!, computational science, face melting, and even dinosaurs! We can’t wait to see what you all come up with in October (*we’re secretly hoping for a Halloween-themed playlist *fingers crossed**). As always, 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 ~fatbear, the ultimate hibernation prep bear simulator built by @hootalex which we’re excited to feature in honor of Fat Bear Week 2021.
