Great! Keep it rolling!
Hopefully it'll be more merry when this community opened for public and more folks are joining in!
@Radhy the community is open to anyone. Reading posts is public. Need to join to comment/engage.
Ah, yes, aside from the posts mostly made by folks related to GFTW, I got the invitation from GFTW email so I kept forgetting that there's really no verification when I was signing up. I'm looking forward to more people with casual perspectives on WM API joining, though.
Feel free to share with people you think might be interested in!
Yes, I just shared it with my friend back from art college yesterday. He doesn't usually join English forums, though, but might be interested in the next GFTW call for proposal.
So many good ones in here! And lol, loving that roundup GIF. ðŸ¤
