Building a simple app with AI isn't always ... simple. 👀 ☁️ Chris Reddington learned a lot from creating a countdown app with GitHub Copilot, like managing context windows, using the Plan agent, and sticking to test-driven development. He ties it all together in this deep dive to keep Copilot on track. 👇 https://lnkd.in/dfq5KD7r

In this Open Source Friday session, we’re joined by Raphael Amorim (@raphamorim) Software Developer at Charm and maintainer of Rio Terminal (and the Boo code editor). Raphael will share the story behind Rio, what makes it different, and how the project approaches rendering, ergonomics, and building high-performance CLI tools.

Join us for Open Source Friday with Patrick Nikoletich, where we’ll explore the Copilot SDK (`github/copilot-sdk`) and how it can be used to build AI-assisted developer experiences on GitHub. The Copilot SDK, now in technical preview, lets you embed the same agentic core behind Copilot CLI into any application, so it can plan steps, invoke tools, edit files, and run commands while your app provides the domain-specific tools, constraints, and context. We’ll walk through what the SDK offers, how the pieces fit together, and where contributors can make a meaningful impact and help shape what’s next for the project.

Big update for mobile reviews. 🚨 You can finally comment on unchanged lines in PR files on GitHub Mobile. 📱 Tap any line -> Leave a note -> Keep moving. ✅ Update your app.👇 github.com/mobile

Join us for Open Source Friday as we spotlight Handy, a free, open source, and extensible speech-to-text application that runs completely offline. In this APAC-friendly session (8:00 AM ET on February 6, 2026), we’ll be joined by CJ Pais (@cjpais), the creator of Handy. After breaking a finger and ending up in a cast, CJ discovered that existing speech-to-text tools weren’t open source, extensible, or easily hackable—so Handy was born to fill that gap.

Last week, we started building an app called Markpad. Let's keep going!
