You mean "more willing to ostracize and marginalize those who point out obnoxious or harmful behavior", I think. Now everyone who can't read a room has an entire infrastructure helping convince them they're a martyr if s

Last week, Simon Aaarons and David Buchanan posted their discovery that images cropped using Android's Markup editor app often hid within them the original uncropped image. This is how to implement David's suggestion of transparen

We definitely took inspiration from Visual Basic, and Alan Cooper has been an advisor and influence from the start for us.

To be clear, we’ve got Glitch projects doing a lot more volume than that, especially for static apps. This one was hitting our rate-limiting but that was a bit of an outlier and should be fixed now.

It’s also inaccurate, but judging by the rest of his comments here, I’m not sure accuracy is the goal.

It’s a terrible move, and everyone should ignore the email. (Obviously, not legal advice, just my personal opinion.) I don’t recommend anyone do business with them, whether as a customer or anything else; I was CEO of Fog Creek when we deci

Was one of the first I was going to mention. Being on the board of the NY Tech Meetup, and in the room for the demo, it was electric. Set the bar for every similar demo that followed.

We’re not averse to the concept, but didn’t want to introduce a feature like that which has so much community impact when our resources for moderating the community were limited. We since launched playlists for sharing apps, and will be bui

Yes. We see lots of this on Glitch. From remixes of Heardle (the "name that tune" remix of Wordle) to more advanced apps that use Spotify's API to track how many streams different kpop groups are getting, to silly meme site

Honestly, was a little bittersweet for me too, as we got into this process. I'm one of those folks who was a coder working at a cubicle reading the early days of Joel on Software, and I still think about that history a lot. I do think

Yeah, there’s a reason they don’t describe the (far more common) public announcement of religious affiliation a fad, even though that’s far beyond social media profiles and even goes to people wearing weird jewelry. It’s just that that’s a

It’s not casual, it’s intentional vice-signaling. Also an attempt to make sure trans people feel unwelcome on HN and thereby appeal to the VC owners of this place.

Nope! The goal here was just more options & more connections for devs to platforms they like and use. We plan to keep expanding on this kind of stuff.

Nice to a see a friend of the family. :) There's a build step we take care of in the background, so that we can use git as the underpinnings instead of anything proprietary. (The logs on a project show you all the stuff that's hap

We’re always iterating, testing out different emphasis on creation vs. discovery since we care a lot about both. But every one of the 10 million+ apps on Glitch already has a page where it lives so folks can remix it or share it with their

Obviously a little biased since I work on it, but we're seeing a ton of folks who remember the old "view source" simplicity of the web bringing their kids to Glitch and getting them started with the same level of accessibil

We sold off FogBugz around the time that we renamed Fog Creek to Glitch. Glitch is now our sole focus.

Really appreciate the kind words. And yeah, we definitely appreciate our history as Fog Creek, but when we made this change, it was for exactly those reasons.

From a developer perspective, Glitch is a full-stack coding environment that lives in the browser and allows realtime simultaneous code editing with automatic instant deployment. You can run any stack, but we've optimized for easily de

We do still have the archives, and are thinking of how to bring back the pieces that are still relevant. A lot of the technical content rotted long before the links did, and the more human stuff was due for an update.

"Glitch is not as popular as My Space was..." Well, we've only been at this for a little while, and we don't even have a way to follow other people or invite your friends yet. :) Rest assured, we're planning to keep

Since it’s a Glitch app, you can also just look at the source to see which domains are cheapest. Good if you can parse json with your eyes. https://glitch.com/edit/#!/domain-pricing?path=domains.js:1:...

Well, Joel is still the chairman of our board, and I spoke to both Joel & Michael them yesterday, so while they're certainly running Stack Overflow and Trello, respectively, we do benefit from their wisdom and experience. The video

Yeah, we've had a lot of success with this at Fog Creek, but the overall diagnosis is correct: most companies make false optimizations for short-term gain over long-term. Sometimes it's understandable because resources are constra
