Today marks the first annual Launch event. Brought to you by the UWP Community discord server, a group of enthusiasts and developers who gather to share and discuss everything UWP and Microsoft.

This server has especially become a place for developers to help other developers, get feedback from users, and provide development updates. As such, it has attracted some very talented people. The devs behind MyTube, Huetro, Mixplay for Mixer, Quarrel, OneLocker, Nightingale, and many more have gathered in the UWP Community discord server.

With so many UWP developers in one place, it seemed appropriate to join together and do something big. For the last 8 or so months, we have been working in secret on many new projects. Today, as a community, we Launch together, in the form of the first annual Launch event (named in the style of existing Microsoft events, such as Build, Ignite, Inspire, and Connect).

Today, I am please to announce the culmination of thousands of collective hours of work. We are launching 3 brand new apps, 1 major update, and 1 browser extension to wrap them all together.
