Newsletter 13

Feel free to suggest sections!

If you want to help writing the newsletter:

- Grab one of the "🆓 **free**" sections by leaving a comment like "I'd like to work on {section\_name\_1} and {section\_name\_2}".
- Mentions in brackets (like "🆓 **free** (@ozkriff ?)") are just an invitation to write the corresponding section if you want, but anyone is free to take it.
- Write a short overview:
  - Use provided links as a starting point.
  - Try to maintain a consistent style with the rest of the newsletter and run markdownlint, please.
  - Insert line breaks ([softbreak](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/#soft-line-breaks)) at 80 chars, please.
  - Use third-person pronouns even if you write about your project updates.
  - DM me on Discord or Telegram if there're any questions.
- Send a PR *to the `source` branch* (example: #75)
  - Mention this issue in your PR's description to link it all together.

I'm hoping to release this newsletter on 2020.09.07, so a soft deadline for all section PRs is 2020.09.05.
