We’ll be ending web hosting for your apps on Glitch
213 points by js4ever 1 month ago | 139 comments- skrebbel 1 month agoI just can't get over the fact that this starts with
> This is a big change, but it’s not an “Our Incredible Journey” post
and then never, nowhere, at all, makes clear that the post means "We're shutting down Glitch". At least the "incredible journey" posts are clear about that, somehow this here is even worse. It suggests that they're just shutting some small part of it down but actually if I read it right (and the comments here) it actually means they're shutting the whole platform down but might someday want to try and do something else with the name and the userbase.
I simply don't understand why people write like this. What's the benefit of trying to fool your userbase into thinking that maybe not that much is changing when in fact everything is? Who wins when, the day after they pull the last plug, lots of people email them in panic, because they hadn't realized that "important changes" means "we'll delete everything"?
- healsdata 1 month agoYeah, one of their former eng managers said the same
> The post carefully avoids calling this an “Our Incredible Journey” moment, but removing project hosting and user profiles is the end of Glitch as a platform. What’s left is essentially a redirect service with some backlinks (hosted on the Fastly Edge Compute Platform™, naturally). You can’t spin the removal of the core product as anything other than what it is: a shutdown.

- JeremyNT 1 month agoYeah I'm with you here.
It's a bit ironic coming from Anil, who has quite a following on social media due to "calling it like it is" when big tech or VC culture does something rotten or self-serving.
The doublespeak and evasiveness in this "incredible journey" post is exactly the sort of thing he'd typically criticize!

- refulgentis 1 month agoUltimately the CEO jobs involving 10 figures of investments are selected before the company is built, for some intersection of self marketability, ability to market others...and most importantly, being willing to do anything to go with the flow.

- jeeyoungk 1 month agoYes, they tried to avoid the cliche by pointing at the cliche, but they weren't able to refute Our Incredible Journey.
Though, this was a real product, with almost 10 years of operation; very few products last this long, and the product wasn't immediately shuttered after the acquisition, so it is unfair to categorize them into the same OIJ bucket.

Glitch was used by Fastly for “internal training” and “internal sales tools” (kinda?), a far cry from “fullstack application platform in the edge”.

- reverendsteveii 1 month agois it me or does it feel like the american dream is quickly becoming "work super hard developing a new product that meets people's needs, then get bought out and shut down by one of the supergiant orgs that owns everything"?
- dragonwriter 1 month agoBig money exit without concern for what happens next has always been the VC-powered startup dream.
You are probably spending too much time on a discussion forum sponsored by a startup accelerator if you think that defines the American dream, though.
- dabockster 1 month agoYou’d have to convince someone to say no to a multimillion dollar VC check, bootstrap themselves financially (and often on “bread and water” levels of available money for their project), and be willing to potentially run or be at least somewhat responsible for whatever they build for potentially decades.
An entity would have to really want to do all that for the “American Dream” to happen.

> We’re thinking through what’s next. I’m really interested in how we can look at all the other amazing creation and app experiences out there (I really love stuff like Val Town and Fly.io and Deno and Netlify, etc.) and bring all those together for easily making and remixing new apps. Will take a bit to figure that out.
- madeofpalk 1 month agoThey're shutting Gitch down. Anil's just trying to be high-minded and optimistic without saying anything specific. I'll be surprised if they do anything new with Glitch.
This absolutely is a "Our Incredible Journey" story, but just with a good migration off-ramp.
- jkaplowitz 1 month agoWell, it has a better migration off-ramp than most “Our Incredible Journey” stories, but they don’t even promise to keep redirects working beyond the end of next year. Fastly can absolutely afford to do better than that.

- diggan 1 month agoI'm similarly lost as GP, and even reading this, I feel like I'm missing something.
If HN said they're disabling new submissions and comments, that'd effectively mean they're closing the site, and would probably say that outright.
But Glitch aren't saying they are shutting down, but they're removing the feature that I thought made Glitch a thing. So nothing is left, yet they continue? Is this a 180 pivot or? Are there other features that will still be usable?

- dmarcos 1 month agoGlitch has been a key piece of the A-Frame community (open source project I maintain) for almost a decade. I'm super thankful to the team! So many people started programming and had first steps in game and 3d graphics development with Glitch.
It's sad to see it go. I was always somehow worried. They had an awesome and super generous free tier. You don’t even need to create an account! Unfortunately, it looks they couldn't make the numbers work.
- karol_ 1 month agoAs someone who has been using glitch.com because of A-Frame and was teaching students to also use them together I am really sad by the news. It was a great thing to see students who had no experience with programming to create a virtual spaces in under an hour and after few more lessons using A-Frame in a creative way that I wouldn't even thought off. I guess I would also like to thank you @dmarcos for keeping A-Frame alive. My especially fond memory of it was during Covid lockdowns when my friend reached out to me that he had students of Art University feeling pretty bummed because they weren't able to do a end of a year physical exhibit and if I had any ideas to do a simple site to show the works. What we went with instead was to create a virtual gallery that evolved also in to place where people could stream live performances through the internet and even had a premiere of a CD of a band done there (https://vimeo.com/428814586).

- dmarcos 1 month agoNot that I'm aware of. I like glitch because the dev experience is the same as working on a local machine: a list of files, text editor, viewer. Anything you learn on glitch transfers directly to local development.
Codepen, jsfiddle abstract away too much with the UI and different panels. You're coding their way.

I’m not a fan of those overly sweet, corporate-style messages that try to sugarcoat the truth: Glitch was simply too good to last, and you’re losing money...
That said, my only real complaint is this: if you knew the situation wasn’t financially sustainable, you could have at least announced it a year in advance—not overnight.

- weiliddat 1 month agoSad, one of the first of its kind. Created a bunch of one-off tools for friends and colleagues on glitch, but could see why it didn't really take off. For me I switched to other platforms like codesandbox, replit because the editor UX wasn't great for a long time. I get wanting the simplicity angle but having poor hints/autocomplete/etc is a hard sell for writing code.

- mattbee 1 month agoYes! It's exactly what it says it's not, an Incredible Journey post, from Anil, who is a laser-sharp writer.
I kept reading because I assumed they were going to - idk open source it or allow you to host Glitch apps elsewhere - but nope, it's just a straight shutdown announcement. What have I got wrong?
I'd assume there is some obfuscation required by owners or whatever pending a change of ownership, something like that?
Anyhow, RIP, if the internet has taught me anything it's that we can't have nice things for more than about 10 years.

- steivan 1 month agoI've been a long-time Glitch user and am now looking for good alternative platforms. My primary use case involves online coding with a Node.js backend using Express and some React apps. If anyone has recommendations, I'd greatly appreciate it.
- qudat 1 month agoMe and a buddy built https://pico.sh to make it easy for developers to prototype and share their projects. In particular we have a static hosting service (https://pgs.sh) and a tunnel service (https://tuns.sh) that should cover most apps in the prototype phase.
- mvexel 1 month agoThank you for building the pico services. I use pgs for hosting my simple static website, and prose to host my blog, and it’s just such a wonderful experience.
Also it’s been a while since I mailed a check to pay for anything, let alone an online service!
- mvexel 1 month ago
- raybb 1 month agoIt's not nearly the same experience, but I'd argue a bit nicer of one, I'd recommend giving coolify a shot https://coolify.io/
You have to bring your own server to selfhost but it's dead dead easy.
If you have a nodejs app you can basically just click "new project from github", select the repo, and click deploy. Then it'll be there on your domain (or a free one) and auto redeploy any time you push to master.
- steivan 1 month agoThanks for the Coolify recommendation! After exploring several alternatives following Glitch's closure, I took your advice and set up Coolify on a freshly bought Raspberry Pi. It's been great! I've now got 4 projects running smoothly, and the deployment process is straightforward and exactly what I needed as a replacement for Glitch.
Really appreciate the suggestion. Couldn't be happier with the setup!
- raybb 1 month agoGlad it's working for you. If you run into any rough edges please do report on GitHub. They're quite responsive to feedback and releasing updates every week

That's 2TB/mo. Pretty sweet deal for $10/yr.2 TB Bandwidth - mschuster91 1 month agoThe problem is, having a server on the internet is painful because you have to be constantly on guard for patches - if not you'll get hacked sooner than later.

- AndrewStephens 1 month agoYou are getting some pushback but you are not wrong. I thought I was being pretty careful with my DO droplet but just last weekend discovered that it had been hacked and was consorting with mysterious IP addresses in Russia and Brazil.
This was on a box that was firewalled and ssh was locked down. It was running an older kernel - that was probably my downfall.
I immediately shut down and rebuilt the droplet with a more modern kernel. It wasn't too hard because my site is (mostly) static with a simple custom service but is very discouraging to find that somebody has damaged your home project just to (I assume) make a small amount of money.

If you appreciate this level of communication and respect, avoid Digital Ocean at all cost. They will fail to send you emails for a few weeks and then delete your resources permanently with no recourse. They are the literal opposite of Glitch. Avoid Digital Ocean.
I would recommend Glitch remove Digital Ocean from their list of alternatives.
