behold: bsky.app/profile/dava... One day to go until our webinar on "Using Elicit to Make Rigorous Decisions", during which we’ll do a live demo of the Elicit Research Agent.

zed.dev/releases/sta... Gemini 3.6 Flash is now available through Google AI in Zed. Thanks ArneshBanerjee!
Mermaid diagrams now support zooming with `cmd-scroll` on macOS or `ctrl-scroll` on Linux and Windows, as well as horizontal scrolling, in the Markdown Preview and Agent Panel.
You can now name stashes when using `git: stash all`, making them easier to identify and search in the stash picker. Thanks Priyadharshan0903!
🚀 Zed v1.16 is out! Grouped change sections in the Git Panel are now collapsible. Thanks chirivelli!
v12.3 is out!
And with it ships one of our most requested capabilities ever...🥁🥁🥁
Environment sync!
directus.com/resources/1... Every builder starts somewhere. KP talks about how building with AI changed what he looked for in his tools, and why Netlify became a better fit as his skills and experience grew.
Qwen 3.8 27B is now live in Command Code.
Beats Opus 4.6 Max, GPT 5.6 Luna Max on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index.
Best for coding and long agent tasks. Multimodal with reasoning toggled on/off
Available on all plans & API
🐐 GLM-5.3 is already live in Command Code.
Same price as GLM-5.2, ~50% better on Zai's internal Code Bench.
Still 5–10x cheaper than the frontier closed models (per 1M output tokens, list price today).
Plans: $1 Go ($10 credits) · $10 GOAT ($20 credits)
🐐 The board after Day 18: davidvkimball 18/17, waela 17/17, AshAmplifies 17/17, anishsharma 16/7, Fixiki 11/5, raimanncostigan 10/0, buildwithmaya 3/0, and five builders at one app each.
13 days left. Join at ntl-back-to-school.netlify.app. 🎒 The 97 apps split into 46 interactive builds, 19 games, 18 simulators, and 14 static explainers. The rule from day one still holds: whatever makes the idea click counts.
Elsewhere: Fixiki, who took a Week 2 prize under his real name Vasily Anoshin, is up to eleven apps, mostly simulators like Gravity Playground. raimanncostigan hasn't shipped since Day 10, and two new names joined: host with Hosty Helper, and ddv with Country Guesser.
Today's spotlight is anishsharma, who has turned one missed day into the longest active climb on the board. Since Day 10 he has shipped seven straight, most recently Gate Breaker, Spin Facts, Path Pilot AI, and Computer History. His sixteen apps run from logic gates to the machines that made it all.
Right behind him sit waela and AshAmplifies in a dead heat, both perfect at seventeen-for-seventeen. waela's latest is Cat-lopedia, an encyclopedia of all things cat, and Ash's is Pulp Fiction, which tests how much real fruit is in the snack.
The new overall leader is davidvkimball at eighteen apps, and he was first to hang a Day 18 plate. The Hit Counter revisits the one number on your page that you and every visitor could see at once. His yahew.com field guide keeps marching through the old web. Week 2's credits are in, with three builders splitting 20,000. AshAmplifies took the top 10k for Games of the Globe, which teaches a tabletop classic in five minutes. Vasily Anoshin took 5k for Tower of Words, and anishsharma took 5k for Human Anatomy, a 3D skeleton you can dissect.
🎒 Netlify Back to School, Day 18 of 31. Twelve builders have deployed 97 teaching apps, and the top of the board has turned into a photo finish. The assignment hasn't changed: build an app that teaches one idea, ship it, come back tomorrow. 🧵
i wish i could isolate that from the rest of traffic and give a solid answer. mostly it costs me my sanity when crawlers go overdrive on some val that's inefficient or expensive to run and that takes down a server or two. they _love_ to iterate through chess positions on the val that does that.
Building a little at a time adds up. Maya shares how she started with no-code tools, found Netlify through a hackathon, and deployed 15 projects while building alongside her full-time job.
