Glitch Reviews & Product Details

The ease of viewing your development directly on a side pane without any need for extensions is the best feature. Glitch supports almost all kinds of web developments and a super tool for collaborators and independent developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glitch has very less controllability for version control as compared to git. Creating folders/ directories is a bit tedious. Glitch provides less support in terms of fast smart coding features like autocompletion and code suggestions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing that I like most about Glitch is how there's a community portal to look at other people's templates and build new ones. The Glitch community is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing that I like least about Glitch is how each project takes long to load due to distributed hosting, you'll need to wait a couple seconds before you can access your project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

you can set up as many "projects" as you want. that really takes out the hassle of reviewing which ones you can delete to make room for new ones, and then, necessarily, updating things that had referred to deleted projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the runtime environment has some old things. it's running Ubuntu 16.04, so you can't upgrade Node.js past v16.x. luckily we don't have a very picky project, and it works fine on the versions of Node.js that Glitch supports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glitch.com is an awesome IDE & hosting platform, way better than one of its main competitors, Repl.it. It has a very supportive community, multiple unofficial addons, and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only problem of glitch is that non-static projects go to "sleep" after some time. That means that you have to wait for it to "wake up", and sometimes that can take up to a minute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like to use this platform a lot as it has a lot of features which help a lot to save your time and money. We can code online in multiple languages, not just individually but in a team as well. Its UI is modern and very attractive. While coding on this platform it doesn't feel like you are coming online as it doesn't lag. It provides a lot of starter templates for different languages which helps a lot. Most of the other online coding platforms lack modern frameworks like react.js and node.js but glitch covers all these new tools in their platform. It also provides hosting for personal projects. I got a lot of help from this feature as earlier I had a lot of projects and I hosted them all here on glich. We can also add custom domains to it. I have also used it to make my portfolio here as it is easy to share our profile link with any recruiter and they can view all our projects here. And those projects can be from any tech stack it can be hosted here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main problem with glitch is that it put your project to sleep if you don't access it for a long time and it takes a lot of time to wake it up again. so if you have to show your projects somewhere on a priority basis then you might get a bad experience. The wake-up time should be less rest everything is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Minimal setup and configuration required. I can get started with an Express NodeJS API in less than a minute, and the best part is whatever I code is instantly deployed and available for use without any hassle.

Also, the UI is very lightweight and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no code completion or similar IDE features available. Even many commonly used keyboard mappings do not work on Glitch.

There should be more ready-to-use templates, for example, a NestJS boilerplate would be awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

> I like the concept that we can directly deploy our site from our GitHub repository. We don't have to upload our codebase again and again.

> It provides free hosting for personal projects on their platform, If you are a student it will be really helpful for you as you can host your web projects here and can add the link to your portfolio websites.

> We can also make our own personal portfolio here and can share that link to the recruiter or where ever you have to show your projects.

> Best thing is it doesn't just host a static website but can also host dynamic ones.

> We can also make our team here and can work together.

> And obviously its colorful theme makes its UI really cool and attractive.

> We can also add custom domains to our glitch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

> The thing I don't like here is it puts your glitch to sleep if no one uses it for 1 day or longer, I know they do it to save memory and computation power so that everyone's glitches run smoothly.

> But it takes a long to wake it up when you run after a long time.

> This actually makes a bad impact on the person who reviews our project, I just want this process should be faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy deployment, Direct exporting option to Github, Live hosting and live update for web development, support across multiple platforms like React, Native web dev, Node, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much git support, less supportive version control, and new updates ruined the UI and other abilities. Glitch folder system is bad that does not allow creation of folders directly instead requires knowledge about CLI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glitch UI is user-friendly it provides templates for many modern frameworks/libraries like react.js node, elementary and SQLite. With glitch we have both an online code editor to develop our website as well as to host it with a single click, glitch takes care of the domain and everything. We can also collaborate with the team in glitch, plus glitch has the option to set a custom domain as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the free version of glitch, the website goes to sleep when it's not used giving an impression of the website being slow when opened after some time. Glitch also lacks an autocompletion option in its editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how it feels to code online on the glitch is if I am coding offline on my computer and it shows me all the files on the left and I can also Store my images and other assets in their folder so it is is very good in compared to other competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many things that could have been better on top of my mind their autocorrect is not working properly and suggestion of the words are sambodhit useless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
