Goodbye, Glitch! / One last featured project?

Been a Glitch user since 2020 when I found it in a YouTube tutorial for making a Discord bot, and quickly became hooked on this incredible platform that let me make all the useless web projects I could think of. In lockdown I spent way too much time on this forum and the Discord server interacting with the cool people in the community, pretty bittersweet to see some of the names that I remember again now that the site is shutting down. I will always look back on Glitch with fond memories and gratitude for the passion for coding it sparked in me.. bye Glitch :smiling_face_with_tear:

I’ve been a glitch user since, checks api, 2018! I started out following a guide to run discord bots which is long since outdated now. Glitch was an awesome platform because it was so easy to get into. I could easily spin up a project and start coding without having to install anything, or know about how node worked. The ability to edit at the same time was kick ass and made it super easy to work with other when we didn’t know what git was. It had a super understanding community which helped me through my super dumb questions, and is probably what got me in the door to be the programmer I am today.

Even though I don’t use glitch these days (haven’t for a few years), it still holds a very special place in my heart, and I’m sad to see it go. Thank you glitch and the community for everything.

I’ve been a Glitch user since 2019. It had been my very first introduction to web development. From the very start, the community was nothing but helpful, kind, and simply fun. Glitch has 100% inspired countless amounts of people to continue computer science, from random projects and discord bots of lockdown to now much more. Thank you, Glitch, for inspiring me, and many others.

P.S. Glitch will always have a special place to me as I look at the many names that were once so active. How it brought developers together was like none other, and I doubt that there will ever be a replacement for it. Goodbye, Glitch.

Hey! May you please add this message (I tried to make it look lik code since well web hosting) :

// goodbye-glitch.js

// Dedicated to Glitch β€” 2021 to 2025 (when I started)
// The digital jungle where AYAAN coded, broke, and rebuilt EVERYTHING.

function glitchFinalFarewell() {
    console.log("🟣 GLITCH, you wild purple beast.");
    console.log("Since 2021, you watched me upload cursed JS, build meme sites, and run servers that should not have worked.");
    console.log("Every error page? A badge of honor. Every infinite loop? A lesson in chaos.");
    console.log("");
    console.log("You hosted my ABBA Chat project. You witnessed the rise of the AYAAN Empire.");
    console.log("You handled my 'let’s see if this breaks' moments with only mild screaming (502 Bad Gateway).");
    console.log("You even let me publish projects at 3AM when I should’ve been asleep.");
    console.log("");
    console.log("You stored every legendary moment: crashing the site with too many tabs, pushing the limits of RAM, and unleashing more 'console.log' than Stack Overflow itself.");
    console.log("You made debugging an art form and failure part of the fun.");
    console.log("");
    console.log("GLITCH, you are the real MVP.");
    console.log("No cloud will ever feel the same. No server will ever handle chaos this gracefully.");
    console.log("");
    console.log("If the code gods are watching, let Glitch live on in every AYAAN project from here to infinity.");
    console.log("Thank you for being my bug farm, my launchpad, and my chaos generator.");
    console.log("");
    console.log("Goodbye, Glitch. May your error logs always be legendary.");
    console.log("Forever AYAAN, 2021-2025.");
    process.exit(0);
}

glitchFinalFarewell();

Hi! Do you mind if I put this in the code?

Just because it’s never too late to teach a new thing, even days before we shut down hosting: you can use β€œtemplating strings” to turn that into a single console log, as templating strings allow for newlines:

console.log(`We can just keep going here.

Because newlines etc. are all fine inside "back tick" strings,

all the way up to the closing backtick.

Like this:`);

All, This project is now hosted at glitch.mileswk.com. I am moving it there because Glitch’s editor is broken right now, and I want to go ahead and migrate over just in case something happens on July 8th, which is just 4 days away.

4 days left y’all! I am going to be working like mad these next four days to get everyone’s things into the project. Got a special code you want in? Comment? Pleeaazzzeeeee go ahead and share it here, or link it here. I will make sure it gets in. This is almost like a little memory box or time capsule of Glitch. It’s a big deal for something like this to happen. We want to make sure it is remembered. Glitch was sooo good to us.

And, while we’re at it, why not add the last game on Glitch?

I already added your goodbye glitch thing into the code, but I will add that other thing soon.

See your code at: glitch.mileswk.com

Tried this code, and it didn’t work.

Glitch was perfect for me as a budding developer.
It was the best of the very few hosting sites accessible to me, and I have developed (pun intended) many fond memories over the 4-5 years I used this site. I’m really sad to see glitch end, and thankfully I’m able to keep the memory alive by downloading my many projects, completed or half-finished. Goodbye Glitch!!!

you don’t have to add it

This doesn’t seem to be added yet.

I am so sorry! I am adding it now! When did you join?

I had added it, but then removed it as it didn’t work.

However, after a brief troubleshooting session with ChatGPT, I realized I needed JQuery and now I tried it again but it is doing some weird stuff. Check it out: glitch.mileswk.com

It looks like the page is JUST that code…
