Ready, Set, Glitch!
Last week was a busy week for us on the Glitch team, and it looks like it was also for you: our stellar users who have been making such incredible stuff with Glitch over the past several days!
Tracery is a tool that writes generative grammars, which leads to inevitable fun when applied to Twitter bot implementations. I’m super impressed by 🅱🏋®🔛’s documentation on this Tracery-powered bot and, thanks to them, you can remix it and get your own Tracery bot running in mere minutes!
If, instead of text, you want your bots to use images, Botwiki has you covered. Remix their random-image-twitterbot project and add your own assets and keys with ease!
Who loves animals?
It has been great to see everyone exploring the use of Glitch with data visualizations. We’ve got some cool things in the works to connect companies with APIs to those of you making great things using them, but already we’re seeing some great visual data apps:
The quickest way to my heart is color analysis! clara beyer has taken up that precious coronary real estate with this super rad color analysis tool, which visually and mathematically tells the color stories of any hex color value set.
One of the many cool things about building with Glitch is the ability to build the back-end part of the app. A few of you have been taking advantage of this (like the above Twitter bots), but it’s been especially exciting to see some of you trying out some cutting edge offline app technologies, like Service Workers.
You can remix these projects with ease and have an already working progressive web app in seconds. Shouts out to Mariko Kosaka and Jeff Posnick on their *progressive web *projects!
We are infinitely impressed by the wide variety of projects we’ve seen coming from everyone, and we are looking forward to seeing what else you create or remix. If you make something neat, we want to know: respond here or tweet us @glitch and enjoy the rest of your week, okay!
