Coding platform Glitch, which allows developers to share and remix projects, has announced it is to drop its core feature of hosting apps on the web.
Users will no longer have projects hosted on the platform from July 8th, 2025, although they will be able to download their code and Glitch is preparing a new feature to redirect subdomains.
The platform has stopped taking new paid subscriptions, but will continue to serve those who have already signed up until the same date.
When Glitch was launched in 2017, CEO Anil Dash said the aim was to “inspire a new generation of makers and creators to share their ideas and projects with the world”.
The Verge quotes Dash as suggesting the costs of hosting apps had increased and the company was considering what future plans for the platform might be.
