Hi everyone! I wanted to let you know that today we launched a whole new version of our shortcut, Glitch.new. Inspired by the feedback and requests from the community since its initial release, we’ve added more shortcuts for the Glitch starters, public apps by you and the community, and even Github repo imports.
Just wanted to jump in and lend my thanks and congratulations for the new use of https://glitch.new
The “URL bar as a command line” idea is a pretty cool one (I know it’s not new ), but it relies on having easy, memorable URLs. And I think you’ve nailed that with this upgrade.
Previously, I could never remember the ‘remix’ URL structure; I’d have to go and find a button in Glitch to do it (not always easy)
Now I know I can spin up a copy of my favourite templates as easily as https://glitch.new/~ste-vue (hey that rhymes)
The other thing I’ve used a couple of times since this relaunch is to copy a GitHub repo URL, strip off the scheme, and run it as https://glitch.new/github.com/stegriff/stock-clicker (for example). This is so easy to remember and to execute.
So… big thanks to the team for making this feature so much better!
