# Season 2, Episode 70

Facebook and Instagram went down - Building a web front-end for data - Dashboard / App like experience on the web - Creating photoshop artwork using variables - Pichi to compress graphics for the web.

News: Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Whats App all went down on Monday for five hours.

This had a knock on effect with anything that used Facebook login.

They lost access to their servers, which made bringing them back online very difficult.

Twitch had a data breach. Username, passwords and earnings were released.

Taylor started building a web front-end for the Sodastream spreadsheet

It helps him learn how to manipulate and display data in a useful way

The idea behind the front-end was to build a dashboard or an app like experience
