I perceive Glitch as the best platform for learning web programming. I haven’t seen a project so far that has multiple users on it at once. I’m curious if anyone knows what the most popular or largest app ever hosted on Glitch is or was.
Is it a goal of Glitch to host large projects? Or is the business model more aimed for users to test out ideas? I could see a potential evolution of Glitch to become a simplified competitor to Heroku with a variable pricing tier.
“big” might be something we could propose as a category in this year-end thing. good timing too, they’re going to stop collecting ideas after today
Glitch regularly has projects that will go viral to the point of “escape velocity” into the mainstream. This one had an impressive run earlier in the year: https://walz-holding-vinyl.glitch.me/
I think something like a “trending page” would be kinda cool for the future. There’s some deeper thinking we’d need to do around how we share specific information though – practically speaking, we don’t want to share detailed data about someone’s project without their consent
Opt-in stats would be great
Yeah I personally think an opt-in flag to allow your project to be considered for collections would be cool.
