Hello Gliders! 👋🏻 We held the first-ever Glide Community Writers Cohort back in March. By the end of the month, **17 members wrote a total of 44 pieces** , ranging from Glide apps affecting social change to building Glide apps in the classroom. Highlights include: - _No-Code Weekend_ winner Sujay Kolpuru [using Glide to create Applimize](https://medium.com/@sujay.kolpuru/simplifying-college-applications-with-applimize-1a1f78ac822f) and streamline clunky college application processes in the US. - Olivia Hylton [building Sistren](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-i-built-sistren-meet-up-app-black-women-without-any-olivia-hylton/), a meetup app for Black women, without any prior experience in software development. - Delaware-based educator Jesse McNulty sharing how teachers foster creativity and community by [creating Glide apps with their students](https://jessemcnulty.substack.com/p/fostering-creativity-and-community). Participants joined from around the world, meeting once a week, bringing their unique experiences and perspectives to the screen. We traded notes, learned from each other, and came away with a _lot_ of inspiration. **We’re going to run more cohorts, activities, and events like this in the future.** If there’s something specific you’d like to see, please DM me!
