About Glitch
Glitch is a collaborative programming environment that lives in your browser and deploys code as you type. Use Glitch to build anything from a good ol’ static webpage to full-stack Node apps. You never have to start from scratch: Just start remixing an existing starter app, or clone a project from services like GitHub and GitLab to experiment and deploy on Glitch. Build off the most popular JavaScript frameworks. Your favorite companies use Glitch to share apps that get you up and running with their APIs. Invite friends to work with you on public or private projects. Anyone with a browser can jump in and pick up where you left off, and private .env files keep secrets like API keys, well, secret. There's no deployment setup—as soon as you create a new project, your Glitch app is live with its own URL (or your custom domain!). Share or embed anywhere, and invite anyone to check out your code or remix it.
