Hey all,  
I’ve switched this forum to default to ‘latest’ mode, rather than subcategories. I’ve noticed I’ve been missing a lot of threads and I think this makes it easier to catch up at a glance.  
Feedback and thoughts very welcome! Now that the rocketchat ([https://chat.toplap.org](https://chat.toplap.org)) is ‘sunsetting’ (as live coding chat people have dispersed to discord etc) I think it would be especially good to focus more on this forum for cross-community discussion.
