/ask (ot its alias /btw) is one of the slash command I've started to use more and more to ask a question to github copilot without interrupting the model thinking. Nice little tip. #githubcopilotapp

Canvas in GitHub Copilot App are very nice. Being able to interact both ways is a game changer. I asked Copilot to find how was working somehting in the code, then open in the buitl-in editor canvas the file to check the code myself. #githubcopilotapp

@scott.hanselman.com I've just seen the replay of the keynote you gave in July at Avanade for Orange Day. Amazing talk 👍. I could not attend live; I was on paternity leave 🍼. Did you give a public version of this talk at another event so I can share the replay with people outside of Avanade?

How we extend dev tools has completely changed over the last decade. We all remember buggy plugins freezing Visual Studio or locking up JetBrains IDEs. Moving extensions out-of-process finally solved stability, while VS Code proved building an extension could be fast and accessible.

Swapped Netflix this weekend for “The Story of VS Code | Official Documentary” and have zero regrets. Whether you use it or not, its tech impact is wild: LSP, Monaco, remote dev, accessibility... If you work in tech, give it a watch. Great storytelling, learned a ton. 📺 #vscode @vscode.dev

When I started using GitHub Copilot App in preview a few months ago, it was to easily run and manage multiple sessions in parrallel. Now, thanks to canvas, GitHub Copilot can do anything. Here I'm using it to run in an Android emulator the mobile app I just developed. #GitHubCopilotApp #github

I stopped using GitHub Copilot App for a month and half because I stopped working with the arrival of my newborn. I've just reopened it today because I was curious, I am so amazed by all the changes. This new insights tab looks good and I can't wait to have fun with the customize section. #github

Between 2 bottles for my baby 🍼, this is how I built an app to track feeds and weight all from my mobile using GitHub mobile app. #github

Alexandre Nédélec @techwatching.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

I became a dad for the second time 2 weeks ago. I needed to keep track of the bottles my child drinks and his weight. So between feeds, I used Copilot cloud agent to create a web app for that. Everything was done using GitHub mobile app, nothing else. techwatching.github.io/new-parents-... #github

Now that it has become crucial to pay attention to usage with GitHub Copilot, it's nice to have this kind of detail about the context for a session. In case you missed it, just click on your session title in GitHub Copilot App.

Hey @github.com , could you cross post messages on @bsky.app . That's the kind of news we don't want to miss here

I needed a SQL Server database to test something. VS Code mssql extension could create a local sql server container for me but it does not work with podman. The wizard to create an Azure SQL Database was glitchy. In the end, best solution was to use aspire, in few minutes I had my database ready.

If you have not tried creating canvas in GitHub Copilot App, you are missing something. I just asked him to create a canva to visualize diagrams related to my code. And now I have drawio and mermaid diagrams in GitHub Copilot App. Being able to prompt to modify the UI of the app live is amazing

In my classes, I use interactive MCQs both to engage students and to automatically record attendance. Since the attendance data was scattered across several Excel files, I asked GitHub Copilot CLI to consolidate it into a single workbook showing attendance for each student across all sessions.

As I have only a short memory buffer, I tend to forget details about bugs or features I've worked on. So I appreciate being able to ask GitHub Copilot CLI about the sessions I've worked on recently. It directly queries its SQLite database to answer me, and I can even resume a previous session.
