Today is April 15, 2020, and for this Wednesday Wisdom episode
we're covering:


Free GitHub Team Accounts

New Firefox 75 Developer Features

Shopify’s App Challenge



Let's dive in!


----


Yesterday GitHub announced they were making core features free
for team accounts. Previously team accounts could not have
private repositories without having a paid account. Essentially,
the team accounts will function like regular accounts, but with
more options to collaborate. Paid team plans are still available
with additional features but the price has dropped from $9 to $4
per user.

Firefox 75 was released on April 7th and it brought several new
features for developers. The developer tools received some
updates, such as resizing the measurement tool, locating elements
with XPath expressions, and filtering WebSocket messages using
regular expressions. Additional support and implementations were
added to the HTML, CSS, Accessibility, JavaScript, and API
sections.

Today Shopify announced a new initiative called the Shopify App
Challenge: Commerce and COVID-19. As the name suggests, this
challenge is for Shopify app developers to build apps that help
merchants during the current pandemic. Winning apps can win up to
$20,000, $1,000 in Shopify ad credits, a featured spot in the app
store, and mentorship from the Shopify product and engineering
team.
