A couple years ago, we launched @Glitch based on the idea that radically lowering barriers for coders to turn ideas into live apps can unlock a lot of creativity. (And magic!) It *worked.* Today, coding in your browser is now mainstream, & millions of apps have built on Glitch…
So, it’s time to take the next big step: Making it easy to instantly build and share a real app with your colleagues, coworkers or collaborators. Not just coding an app together, *using* an app together. blog.glitch.com/post/the-easie…
What stands in the way? Well, deploys + version control + provisioning used to be hard, but Glitch made all those automatic. But one thing's still missing: privately sharing apps. Today, we’ve made sharing an app as easy as sharing a doc on Google Docs — *publicly or privately*.
This isn’t just private code repos (although we’ve got those too!), it’s limiting app *access* to people you invite by username or email. Every paid Glitch member can do it now. Total control over who can access the app or edit its code, without having to build auth. For real.
Private projects are part of a wave of big & small improvements we’ve made for coders, like fast (and free!) static sites, a handy dashboard for your apps, & lots more. Glitch is moving far past being a simple playground or sandbox or toy, while still staying super easy to use.
Glitch is for instantly building real apps for you, your team, or your community. Even simple apps, like a basic dashboard or blog, become much more valuable when you share them with _just_ your team. Or import an app via git, deploy it, and share it with your people instantly.
Today’s new sharing features come back to the same basic principles that first inspired Glitch: the web is better when it’s easier for people to create, and when it’s effortless for collaborate together. Now it's as easy as becoming a Glitch member: glitch.com/pricing
Like every coder, I've had tons of ideas for apps or sites that would've been easy to make, but I never did because I didn't want to share them with the entire internet, and the idea of building auth made me wanna cry. For everyone who's ever had that feeling, we've got you! 🎏🎉
