A stylized colorful illustration of two people, one person sitting down with their phone on what might be a desk, the other sitting behind it, both looking at the viewer. Next to it is the following text: Au revoir, Glitch! If you haven’t heard by now, on July 8th we ended project hosting. That sounds like goodbye, but it’s not exactly. You can login to download your projects or set a redirect until December 31, 2025 and those redirects will be supported until the end of 2026. After that, we’re not sure what’s next but thank you so much for joining us when you did. Glitch wouldn’t be the same without your fun, thoughtful, strange, helpful, beautiful, weird projects. Until we meet again!

And it's official, https://glitch.com

Thanks for the memories, and all the apps!

Richard MacManus (@ricmac@mastodon.social) I talked with Fastly's chief architect, Artur Bergman, about why the modern CDN is more about software than hardware — and why developers should care. Note: Yes, I did ask him about the recent closure of #Glitch. It turns out Glitch was usurped by AI vibe coding tools: "Ultimately, the world — because of AI — has moved on, and the Glitch platform was not built for a world where AI helps you generate code, helps you run it.” https://thenewstack.io/why-devs-must-rethink-their-role-in-modern-cdns-and-the-edge/

"Ultimately, the world — because of AI — has moved on, and the Glitch platform was not built for a world where AI helps you generate code, helps you run it."

Boo!

Open-sourcing Glitch after it shuts down? 🥺 With Glitch shutting down, would the team consider open-sourcing it so the community can self-host or learn from it?

Truly sad news about #glitch no longer hosting apps. It meant a lot to the creative botmaking community.

Would love to know where everyone's moving their bots! (And hoping many will keep them alive!)
