We'll be postponing this AMA until the new year to give creators more time to work with the tools. The team is eager to hear your thoughts and answer your questions!
In the meantime, we'll be leaving the forum thread open as an ongoing thread for you to ask questions and get answers directly from the Patchwork developers.
