Iâd have to disagree, I think Glitch is targeted towards people who want to test code before rolling it out in a production environment.

yes yes. but the editor feels like kid freindly editor.
Most sites on the web are âsafe for kidsâ⌠Whether that means its target audience is therefore kids is a different question. As I have understood, Glitch was supposed to be a fun and lively place to tinker with code (like as @RiversideRocks said) - the use of images like the ones they use are to spread happiness around the platform. A few drawings here and there donât make it âfor kidsâ. Furthermore, you must be 13 years or over to use Glitch anyway so what would be the point of them targeting for kids if they canât make an account. Just because they want to create a nice, happy and joyful community and app doesnât automatically make it for children.

No. You can get parentâs permission to bypass the federal coppa law.
No. Only if the ToS of that service says you can. The Glitch ToS says no such thing. Please read it before telling me I have misunderstood it as I have read it multiple times
Unless otherwise indicated, a User must be at least 13 years of age to use the Services.

No it says that later
Yeah, I know that.
Yes that true but if you 13-19 you are a teen. And thatâs what I think glitchâs audience is.
I think the audience is 14+
I think itsâ audience is pretty much everyone. Where else do you find a kid-friendly editor easy enough for young children to use, but with hot reloading (literally a godsend), production level deployment, and support for advanced languages like Rust and a terminal for power users? I used Glitch back when I started because it was easy (better than Cloud9 or embryonic Replit), and I still use it now because itâs pretty frictionless to start a new project and people are making cool projects on the forums all the time.

Glitch the website and their marketing really make it look like itâs a learning tool for younger and inexperienced people, but I personally use Glitch as a place to host my corporate automation stuff and internal-only bots. I like to think of Glitch as a discount-Heroku, but I prefer Glitch just because of its open nature and the straight-forward pricing system

your thinking of Scratch,which is meant for kids
No, Glitch does have drawings like such
I wouldnât call them â3 year oldâ drawings, its just glitchâs art style.
