This is a replay of The Bootloader's livestream on the Adafruit YouTube channel on CircuitPython Day. Tod and Paul take a look back at the last year and share some of their favorite CircuitPython projects and features. This episode has been slightly edited and we do use screensharing, so you may want to check out the video on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pRVx2xGexU].
