+
+The Gloo team is happy to announce a new addition to the Gloo crates family: `gloo-net`. It is an HTTP requests 
+library built specially for WASM apps and provides idiomatic Rust bindings for the `fetch` and `WebSocket` API.
+This has been a long requested library, and it has finally arrived.
+
+## Features
+
+- HTTP: complete wrappers around the browser's `fetch` API.
+- WebSocket: complete wrappers around the browser's `WebSocket` API using Rust futures.
+
+We have plans to also provide wrapper for `XMLHttpRequest` in the future.
+
+## Looking for contributors
+
+Gloo project is in need of contributors. It would be really appreciated if you could contribute or raise awareness about
+the Gloo project.
