Hey Slater Squad 👋 We send this email out every Friday with highlights from the week (livestreams, articles, best tips/tricks) from Slater. If you don't want to receive these, feel free to unsubscribe after scrolling to the bottom of this email 🤙 For Slater Roundup 21, we have:
New Website (again...)New website! As always with Slater, we're constantly iterating, building, growing and learning from mistakes. Mason Poe, Edgar Allan's founder, wanted a brand identity that truly solidified Slater's presence in the AI marketplace that distanced itself from the rest of the overly tech brand identities. We'll soon be doing a deep dive on this to explain more on this (+transition the rest of the brand visuals...) but check out the new website and brand identity!
GSAP, Swiper.JS, Barba JS with Yar!We had a killer session with Yar Al Roshidi all about how he's using Slater and combining it with different libraries to make sweet animation madness. Check out his Slater session here!
Game Deep DiveIf you're making a game, do not scroll past this one people! Super helpful session to make sure you make the best game possible and give yourself the highest possible chance to be a winner winner chicken dinner.
​ AI Code For Coffee WebsiteJust in case you missed this one, Josiah Dueñes, one of a small group of champs in the Slater community making banging content, shares how he triggers a pricing modal.
6 days until competition deadline!

Good luck making the games! That's all for this week folks! See you soon, Slater Team ​ |

We considered launching the new CSS functionality today, but we want to test it a bit more. Expect it early next week. To prepare for the launch, let's...
You may recall that the original Slater had access controls for projects and files. We didn't want just anyone going in there and rewriting our Javascript. However, managing access for teammates became cumbersome (I even added a "god mode" to give myself access to any project or file). Since we generally trusted each other and never had issues, we decided to leave it out of the latest version of Slater. That said, we understand that some teams work differently, and maintaining control can be...
We're going to take a brief break from the regular newsletter format to celebrate the release of ask.edgarallan.com. Today, let's hear from Mason Poe, the Founder of Edgar Allan and Slater. I'm thrilled to announce the launch of ask.edgarallan.com and the start of a new conversation. We can all feel it: the web is changing in ways that seem both dramatic and, in a weird way, imperceptible. At times, it’s hard to know where to start exploring what could be next. Sometimes, when you think...
