<p>When <a href="https://twitter.com/theannalytical">Anna Lytical</a> heard Stephen and I talking about "What is CodePen?" she mentioned <a href="https://twitter.com/theannalytical/status/1385253091767894017">we did fab without her</a>. So of course, I had to do one with her! Anna creates fun coding content all over the web, in addition to being an engineer at Google. Catch her on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK-XsdHry-tJ2IsNOHTGdcA">YouTube</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theannalytical/">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@theannalytical">TikTok</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/theannalytical">Twitter</a>. For Anna, the appeal of CodePen is in the simplicity: nothing to set up, easy/free to get started, and you can get to the heart of learning quickly. Not to mention the sharing—as a teacher you can provide code as simply as sharing a URL. And of course, all the existing code to be inspired by! </p> <h3 id="h-timestamps">Timestamps</h3> <h3 id="h-sponsor-netlify">Sponsor: <a href="https://www.netlify.com/">Netlify</a></h3> <p>Did you see that <a href="https://www.netlify.com/blog/2021/05/19/next-generation-deploy-previews-plus-netlify-acquires-featurepeek/">Netlify bought FeaturePeek and rolled into into all Deploy Previews</a>? They did! It's cool! Imagine you need to make a change to a website, and need approval from a client first. You can do a Pull Request against the site and your Netlify-hosted site will give you a URL with a Deploy Preview. They've done that forever, and it's incredibly useful. Now, it's even more useful, as that client can open up a little UI widget on the Deploy Preview and give feedback. They don't need to know anything about GitHub, yet their feedback can manifest as a GitHub Issue. And that's just one possible integration. </p>
