You know, it's something really special & rare when the #1 feature people ask for in a product is "Can I pay for this?" Today, I'm super excited to say that the answer for @Glitch is now: YES! You can become a member & lift the limits on all your apps: glitch.com/pricing
I wrote a little bit about what we're introducing today, and I hope you'll take a look, but I can summarize the details here. First, Glitch made it super easy to *build* web apps. But now, we're making it absurdly easy to actually *run* those apps. medium.com/glitch/ready-t…
In the old days, it was easy to run an app or a website; you'd just copy some files onto a server, pay a couple of bucks a month, and it was all set. Now, a normal person can't even understand how cloud services are priced. WTF is a "dyno"? How many "droplets" do I need? 😰😖
How about this, instead: You pay us ten bucks, we run your apps. For your key apps, we'll let you boost the storage and memory and all that stuff, but you won't need a freaking PRICING CALCULATOR or "call us to find out pricing" or whatever. Bleh to all of that!

And starting today, we're going deeper on telling the stories of creators on Glitch with our new podcast Shift Shift Forward: glitch.com/glimmer/episod… Every episode has a full text transcript, an entire collection of Glitch apps related to the episode's theme. This week: Games!
Amazing things happen when you make it much, much easier for creative people to build and share their ideas. /tip @Techmeme
“The rather eccentric developer tools platform“ is a very fun way of saying Glitch is not like anything else out there!
