Glitch is Basically Shutting Down (theverge.com) 5
Glitch, the coding platform where developers can share and remix projects, will soon no longer offer its core feature: hosting apps on the web. From a report: In an update on Thursday, Glitch CEO Anil Dash said it will stop hosting projects and close user profiles on July 8th, 2025 -- but stopped short of saying that it's shutting down completely.
Users will be able to access their dashboard and download code for their projects through the end of 2025, and Glitch is working on a new feature that allows users to redirect their project subdomains. The platform has also stopped taking new Pro subscriptions, but it will continue to honor existing subscriptions until July 8th.

It's impossible for anyone to compete in the hosting space unless you have AWS levels of infrastructure and technology. Amazon needed to create their own routers just to manage the situation. Modern surveillance capitalism bottlenecks real innovation.
Probably because no one uses it? (Score:2)
I see this: https://blog.glitch.com/indust... [glitch.com] was last updated in 2020. Very up to date and timely.
Creator interviews last stopped roughly a year ago
and on the main page, their last "update" was June of last year.
Yeah... Probably safe to say no one will miss it.
