Glitch, a platform for developers to share and remix coding projects, is phasing out its core feature of hosting apps on the web. CEO Anil Dash announced that the platform will stop hosting projects and close user profiles on July 8th, 2025. While it’s not a complete shutdown, users will retain access to their dashboards and can download their code until the end of 2025. The company is developing new features, including subdomain redirection, and will honor existing Pro subscriptions until July 8th.
The decision to phase out hosting services has sparked discussions within the developer community about the future of collaborative coding platforms. Some developers express concern about the potential loss of a centralized space for project sharing and collaboration. However, the company’s focus on enhancing user experience through new features like subdomain redirection offers a glimmer of hope for continued engagement with the platform. As the deadline approaches, the developer community will be watching closely to see what future initiatives Glitch might pursue.
