I'm incredibly grateful for the amazing community that's contributed, provided feedback, and helped shape it into what it is today. This journey wouldn't have happened without you all, a testament to the power of #openscience

Here's to the next decade of making #bioinformatics QC beautiful! 🧬

πŸŽ‰ Today marks 10 years since the very first @multiqc.info commit!

What started as a simple tool for QC reports has grown into something used by thousands of labs worldwide. It's become a foundational tool in the fabric of #bioinformatics and it's a joy to see it play a small part in global research

A think a massive dose of "right place, right time" goes into it.. Which probably amounts to basically the same thing as luck.

πŸ“’ Excited to share these new features on sandbox.bio:
- Python playground to quickly test code
- Customize how much memory the command-line can use! Choose between 512MB, 1GB, 2GB (previously fixed at 1GB)
- Confetti animations when you finish tutorials πŸ™ƒ (obviously the most important improvement)

This is something I'm *super* excited about - @seqera.io studios isn't just Notebooks / RStudio / VSCode any more: You can now take basically *any* graphical application you can think of, chuck it into a Docker image and run it interactively in Studios.

The possibilities are endless..
