 Hi Gitcoiners,
 </p>
 <p>
-This week, we reflected on the <a href="https://gitcoin.co/blog/gitcoins-april-product-update/" target="_blank">product updates and progress we made in April.</a> The core team shipped a <a href="https://gitcoin.co/users">user directory</a>, a system to invite contributors to bounties, and more. Some assorted improvements:
+This past week was an exciting week for open source, as GitHub released <a href="https://github.com/sponsors">Sponsors</a>, a way for users to find ways to financially support developers or open source projects. As proponents of open source, we couldn't be happier, and
+we're excited to announce that you can proudly display your Gitcoin Grants page via the sponsor link. <a href="https://medium.com/gitcoin/gitcoin-grants-github-sponsors-b516192c048">Check out this tutorial to learn more.</a>
 </p>
 <p>
-- <a href="https://gitcoin.co/grants/" target="_blank">Gitcoin Grants</a> now has a fresh new look! The Grants Detail page now separates out the description of the grant, the latest contributions, milestones, and contribution profiles for every grant under separate tabs. You can easily click through the tabs and see the organized information for each grant.
+We have a store now! Grab some swag at <a href="https://store.gitcoin.co/">https://store.gitcoin.co/</a>. We have backpacks, stickers, t-shirts, and more.

-- Github just launched a product that allows their users to sponsor each other.  We are thrilled to see Github care about OSS Sustainability, and are proud to offer a guide about how to integrate Gitcoin Grants into Github Sponsor. <a href="https://medium.com/gitcoin/gitcoin-grants-github-sponsors-b516192c048" target="_blank">Learn how here</a>.

See their name, development specialty, web3 projects they’ve contributed to, amount earned, bounties completed, in progress, latest activity, and more by hovering over their user. Thanks to @iamonuwa for helping us build this out!
