> We’re thinking through what’s next. I’m really interested in how we can look at all the other amazing creation and app experiences out there (I really love stuff like Val Town and Fly.io and Deno and Netlify, etc.) and bring all those together for easily making and remixing new apps. Will take a bit to figure that out.
This absolutely is a "Our Incredible Journey" story, but just with a good migration off-ramp.
If HN said they're disabling new submissions and comments, that'd effectively mean they're closing the site, and would probably say that outright.
But Glitch aren't saying they are shutting down, but they're removing the feature that I thought made Glitch a thing. So nothing is left, yet they continue? Is this a 180 pivot or? Are there other features that will still be usable?
They're still just hosting websites in that scenario, which seems to be exactly what they don't want to do. A bit like if GitHub decided they didn't want to host source code anymore.
