Build Extensions with other developers using Organizations!
Hello everyone! We wanted to spread the word about Organizations to help you collaborate with other developers.
Over on the forums, our Twitch staff shed some light on how Organizations allow you and other Twitch developers to squad up and create, manage, and ship Extensions.

An Interview with our very own Game-Matched Extension Dev
We’ve seen some amazing Game-Matched Extension ideas being discussed amongst the Twitch DevJam 2019 community. However, we’ve heard from a few developers that they’d love to participate, but they aren’t quite sure what to build. While we’ve already shared some helpful guides and resources through past updates and our resource page, we thought it would be helpful to bring forth a more personal story on how Lucas, one of our colleagues at Twitch, built his Game-Matched Extension, Slay the Spire Decklist! We asked him a few questions about the experience, and this is what he had to say:
