Some of you may have gotten this email already, but we wanted to extend this preview to the rest of the community here in the forum:
We’re getting close to launching a new, exciting experience for developers on Glitch, and we wanted to let you in on one part of the launch: a refresh of our “Create Project” menu apps offerings .
You can view and remix them here:
~glitch-hello-website is a simple static website and reboot of our existing ~hello-webpage starter
This work is still in development and we want to make sure we provide the community with starter apps that are fast and fun, so we greatly appreciate your feedback. Thanks for being a part of the Glitch community!
Adding to the list of unofficial starter projects created with the static site generation feature: ~glitch-hello-vue-router and ~glitch-hello-vuex, both based off of @khalby786’s ~glitch-hello-vue. They were remarkably easy to set up, and worked straight away without any additional setup, which I find is very unusual One of the reasons for this is that these generated static site projects don’t show the usual 404 page for static projects, instead showing index.html for vite projects, and cannot get [route] for the 11ty project - very interesting, and very useful.
However, generated static sites are now showing the waking up screen (although not for very long thankfully) - has this always been the case and I just haven’t noticed it, or is this a recent change?
Something tells me that the generated_static feature only works for the three starter projects that Glitch themselves created, because even after specifying a build folder and building files, Glitch keeps running the development server (evident from the fact that the website serves raw Vue files instead of built files).
It looks great!!
