### Slack

Join 700+ Texture developers and the Texture <a href="team.html">core team</a> on Slack for real-time debugging, the latest updates, and asynchronous banter. Signup <a href="/slack.html">here</a>.

Browse through our many <a href="https://github.com/texturegroup/texture/tree/master/examples">example projects</a>. 

If you are new to Texture, we recommend that you start with the <a href="https://github.com/texturegroup/texture/tree/master/examples/ASDKgram">ASDKgram</a> example app which compares a photo feed implemented with UIKit to an identical feed implemented with Texture. The app features:
<ol>
	<li>An infinitely scrolling home feed that demonstrates Texture's smoother scrolling performance. </li>
	<li>A significantly sized code base to demonstrate how much less code it takes to design apps using Texture.</li>
</ol>
