A plan to build a Glitch alternative

1

Outline

  • Editor : Vscode for Web or other editors in the Gallery.
  • Backend: A project management system for starting projects, automated hibernation and port reservation.

Notes

  • Projects will run under multiple Linux users(no root privileges ) on the server to ensure we can upgrade the system easily.
  • Optionally, you can set up a subdomain system to reverse proxy ports to domains.
  • Storing NPM packages globally and using UNIX sockets might be more preferable.

That’s all, if you can implement this, make sure to open-source your code under an OSI Approved License, you are free to do whatever you want with your code otherwise. Thanks in advance.:grinning_face:

And you will pay how much for someone to do all that work for you? =D

It doesn’t need to be one person, and you can make money by charging users a fee. I’m only doing this because I’m a noob…

Doing what, though? Because it sounds like you’re just going “someone make me a glitch clone for free and you go figure out how that would pay for itself but make it usable for me” and that’s pretty selfish =)

Guess I’ll have to make the AI do it

Absolutely: that’s the attitude that gets you experience in the field. Make it yourself, use AI to help you do it, and learn from that. If you succeed, that’ll look awesome on a CV, and might even be a side project that earns you some passive income! And even if you don’t, you’ll still have learned a ton about the complexities of a project like this, which is experience you can carry forward into whatever next project you decide to tackle.

You probably want to create a new post about it, with some screenshots and a description of what it can do, so others can learn about its existence and discuss it in its own thread.
