## Overview

- **Who it's for**: Developers and hobbyists who used Glitch to write, remix, and collaboratively build web apps in the browser; now relevant mainly to those maintaining a Glitch profile or engaging with its community.
- **What you get**: Glitch provided a browser-based code editor for building Node.js apps and static sites, with instant "remixing" (forking) of existing projects and real-time multiplayer editing. It also offered instant hosting so projects ran live as soon as they were edited. In July 2025, Glitch discontinued app and project hosting, meaning projects can no longer be run or hosted on the platform; users were told to download their code. User profiles and the community aspect of the site remain.
- **How it works**: Users wrote or remixed code directly in Glitch's in-browser editor, often collaborating in real time with others; previously, saved changes were instantly deployed and hosted live, but that hosting/runtime capability was shut down in July 2025.
