One of my favorite parts of Stadia is the awesome community. There are so many passionate people doing creative work around Stadia - building tools, apps, videos, websites. It reminds me of Android early on. As a newcomer (or even a founder), it isn’t always easy discovering all these projects early on. The point of this post is to help people find these awesome creators and their efforts. It’s basically what I wished I’d known 6 months ago. I’ve posted about this on Reddit, but I know not everyone here over there; so, I thought I’d drop this here as well.
