+
+### GitHub Discussions
+
+Supabase was given access to [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/discussions)! This is the place for you to ask questions or show off what you've built with Supabase.
+

+
+### Kaizen
+
+- Our dashboard now uses [Next.js automatic static optimization](https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/automatic-static-optimization) - so it should be noticeably more responsive.
+- We created an Isomorphic [`gotrue-js`](https://github.com/supabase/gotrue-js/) TypeScript library for interacting with Netlify's [GoTrue server](https://github.com/netlify/gotrue). This will soon be bundled into `supabase-js`
+- We migrated our [`postgrest-js`](https://github.com/supabase/postgrest-js/) library to TypeScript, and it will soon be bundled into `supabase-js`
+
+### From the community

+
+### Hacktoberfest
+
+There's been [plenty of drama](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/hacktoberfest-update) during Hacktoberfest, but Supabase is committed to helping new contributors get started with open source. We've already seen a lot of issues closed by new members to our community and first-time contributors. If you're looking for ways to get involved, read our Hacktoberfest [blog post](https://supabase.io/blog/2020/09/11/supabase-hacktoberfest-2020), check our our [live stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_xRLTjvEiE&t=60s), and then dive into our [project board](https://github.com/orgs/supabase/projects/5).

+
+### Coming next
+
+Our focus now is to move from Alpha to Beta and we'll be improving stability, reliability, and performance. We've create a [Benchmarks](https://github.com/supabase/benchmarks/) repository, where we'll be measuring the performance of all the open source tools we use.
