We're absolutely thrilled to be offering up the top request developers have had from Fastly: Free developer accounts! With generous limits, you can run your personal site or your development projects, and never worry about some big surprise bill — if you go over the limits, we'll just get in touch with you.

Been following along since you announced the original prototype was using Glitch (<3!) and it's been amazing to watch it evolve and get even more charming. The best part about this is not just that you're teaching people such valuable skills, but that you're meeting people where they are culturally, and in terms of design and relevance. It *feels* like a place people are going to want to learn,...

We're thrilled to launch a super-fast new editor for Glitch that, in addition to looking a lot prettier, delivers on a ton of new features that developers and our community has been asking for. You can read all about it right here: https://blog.glitch.com/post/welcome-to-the-new-glitch-editor

Glitch In Bio is a mobile-friendly, free, fully customizable landing page to use as your “Link in bio.” But it's not like the services a lot of people use to put links on their Instagram or TikTok — Glitch is a whole community of millions of coders, and when you make a link page on Glitch, you're joining that community in being able to use anything the web can offer. If you want to embed...

Tedium is a must-read, and the new design feels as thoughtful and smart as the content always does. So glad to see the site evolving and thriving.

One of the best ways to connect with people is by sharing with them — a great set of songs that mean something to you, an album of photos from a special event, or even a list of books you think they'd love. Glitch is a community about creating apps, whether as serious work tools or just as a fun, expressive project. And we think sharing those apps should be as easy and rewarding as making a...

All you have to do is type glitch.new in your browser's search bar to instantly create a new app. There are starters for React, Eleventy, basic HTML sites, all that good stuff! And let us know if you have any other shortcuts you'd want to see.

After seeing the huge response to our recent launch of being able to build full-stack Node, React and Eleventy sites instantly, we were super motivated to make it easy to do the same thing but backed by real databases. We picked Airtable because it's a super easy way to manage data entry, SQLite because it's a "real" SQL database without a lot of management overhead, and DataStax Astra so that...

Glitch has been around for a while, but this is just about our biggest update ever — we wanted it to be faster to build a site with code, using standard javascript frameworks, than it is to use some proprietary site builder. For me, the best part is that all the fussy stuff like configuring a build system or installing a secure certificate is already handled for me.

At Glitch, we've always tried to make it super easy to instantly create web apps — we want to make sure you can go straight from your idea to a live, full-stack app. And now, we're taking away all the complexity of *running* those apps. There's none of the complexity of regular cloud hosting. You can just join our new paid membership for ten bucks a month, and we give your apps boosted storage,...

At Glitch, we've been working remotely for years. So we wanted to share all we've learned — including our own company handbook with policies you can use, and apps that make remote meetings work super smoothly.
