I feel like this TODO should be more prominent

[yingw787]

I think this getting started part should be front and center, right right after the initial announcement; esp. if primary readers of the blog are engineers and internal champions

[HarshCasper]

@whummer Can you please chime in here?

[whummer]

I guess there's generally different approaches for structuring such an announcement blog - either providing some background first and then showing the "how to" instructions (like we did here), or alternatively jumping right into the "how to" and then laying out some of the background information.

I actually like the way we've structured the blog now - starting with some general background to get the reader interested, and then gradually building up the story of how it's been implemented, and then showing the reader how they can actually use it. 👍

@yingw787 Are you concerned that engineers/readers won't find the "actionable" information and we lose their interest? Maybe we could add a "TL;DR - if you want to get started right away, please proceed to section <link>" at the top of the blog, but not sure if that's required? As I'm browsing through the preview, I think the "How do I start?" section is fairly easy to find, given that the blog is also not super long.

[yingw787]

@whummer Yeah I was concerned about that - have you checked on mobile? When I'm doing blogging at least half of my readers are coming through on mobile, if not 75%, and engineers rapidly bucket blog posts into either prod/eng (which they read) or sales/marketing (which they don't).

@yingw787 this name is used through the docs https://snowflake.localstack.cloud/introduction/

Introduction
LocalStack Snowflake emulator allows you to develop and test your Snowflake data pipelines entirely on your local machine!

Nonetheless, I would also prefer a more catchy title.

“Make your journey to innovation and growth easier with LocalStack for Snowflake.”

Suggested change

	title: Announcing the LocalStack Snowflake emulator!
	title: Introducing LocalStack for Snowflake: The path to effortless innovation!

If we change it in this section, we need to do it through the article and possibly in the docs.

Looks really good, you can definitely see the polish in this. I'd be happy if this was sent out, also happy to re-review later on if needed.

Sounds great! 👏
Added a few tiny nits, but overall I think it's very nicely done 🚀

[whummer]

Very nice blog post - great job all! 👏 Excited to get this one out 🚀 🥳
