"If the price is down, do the same with your head and get to work."-Confucious

What is up you beautiful people. It's safe to say we're fully in the throws of a bear market. Layoffs across the industry seem to indicate companies are preparing themselves for another "crypto winter".Stacks builders have been hard at work on products all over the ecosystem and we're starting to see updates getting shipped.

Noteworthy updates this week

• The two biggest NFT Marketplaces released new features this week.

  • Gamma: You can now submit offers on NFTs in the marketplace. These can be listed or unlisted, and you can attach a message to your bid to sell your story and why you REALLY need that new $aint from Dr. Suss. Learn more.

  • Byzantion: The Byz team is continuing to solidify itself as the best marketplace for traders. They released a new feature called "Trader View". This gives live updates of sales on a graph. You can see how much volume is moving through a collection with a quick glance. Learn more

• NoCodeClarity goes live on Bubble. Not familiar with the no-code movement? In the same way that Squarespace removed the need to learn HTML & CSS when creating a website, No-code developers tools are making it easier to create interactive applications without knowing programming languages like Javascript or Clarity. We now have the first tool to start this process on Stacks with NoCodeClarity.

• Project Indigo releases a teaser. The wasteland is beginning to come to life. When you visit projectindigonft.com. You'll be greeted with a more interactive map and a new area to go to called "The Scrapyard". You can't do much else just yet, but the trailer they teased tells use more fun for your NFT is coming SOON.
