How does this compare to glitch.com? As far as I can tell the only real difference is the support for scheduled jobs, but I feel like I'm probably missing something more fundamental. Maybe it's just trying to be better version? Looks cool none the less, will check it out!
- theochampion 4y agoGlitch is definitely the closest in terms of usage. We in fact used Glitch ourselves quite a lot. But even running the simplest piece of code on Glitch still requires you to write all the boilerplate code (e.g. setting up a node express HTTP server). And of course, Glitch stops every instances after 5min of inactivity and it takes a solid 30sec to wake them up after. Glitch is unbeatable in the frontend part. But we want to make the backend dev experience more seamless.
- bluehatbrit 4y agoThe 5min inactivity shut down is only for free accounts though, is chunk going to continue to run my app 24/7 on a free tier? The boilerplate code part sounds interesting, so chunk is also a bit of a framework? That's really nice, could speed up development a lot more. You're totally right about glitch taking a while to get going with. Does that framework restrict users in anyway, can it be ignored?
