So, now then, i am replacing the past contents with the riddle that will announce my return!

behind the twin statues of my personality, sits the fear of being expelled, furthermore, the sadness brought by sell expulsion, so why must i hide in the shadows yet again? glitch… for thy laughters and gifts and joy you have brought to me, i will return and bring back to you on a certain day where that is appreciated, along with family :pray:

Glitch has 20 times the amount of time you can code on github tbh
Also glitch is a good place to prototype things even people on web.dev and google ai put example code here. It’s more widely used than you think.

right, it’s also a great place to try things. P. S. some schools have website blockers that block ips they don’t know, the last time I checked my school blocked 127.0.0.1 with a browser plugin

Thanks for making your post :slight_smile:
Sorry you have taken the decision to leave Glitch. It would be interesting to know you exact reasoning why project hours have made you make this decision. Hope you find another service with a thriving community like Glitch :wave:
May I kindly request that you refrain from making other posts about the fact you are no longer using Glitch and instead link to this one, so we can keep the forum tidy.

However, using Glitch instead of localhost is very useful, if you don’t want to go through any confusing setup, especially if you are on Linux :joy:

@javaarchive That makes sense as a school computer should not be hosting any type of servers as they are usually under powered machines and the main school server should focused on file sharing, etc. Glitch is the best option in a school environment. Also, most schools computer need administrator access to install software, so it would be hard to open a server on one anyway.

It’s easy since I think he already has NodeJS installed, he just needs to use the http and https modules to open a server. This also works for static pages, you just need to tell it to serve them.

13

Everything except windows has python and java preinstalled though…

Use an external drive to copy in the files to the right location. You could even use other options to get it into the PC.

I Used to Use Glitch to Host my Bots and Make Websites
I No Longer use it for Discord bots (Maybe if i need to Test something)
I just use it To Host my website and Develop my API i am Making
I am Sticking with Glitch
Even Through these tough Times

Well. In the far future, I think Glitch may expand a lot. I get why they did it. ther are almost 100 posts about the same thing each time Glitch goes down. And pinging adds to that stress. Even though Glitch are providing free hosting, they were most likely going to lose more money than they make, so they did the ban. After the ban I noticed a lot less downtimes. AWS ain’t cheap. espicallly since your hosting for a lot of people and having to split that with VMs for each project is a though job. So I think that we shouldn’t be mad at glitch. I would like to know what you would’ve done. I probably would’ve just done the same thing.

What ur discord again?

it’s the one of the person who had the old xent website
also idk if you got the ping but you can enter xentext into replit coding comp to possibly get at $10,000 grant.
Also with code-server you can run vscode online if you don’t like the gitpod’s ui

might have to leave glitch too due to the very very very frequent discord ip bans. don’t want a refund cus ill still be hosting some bots on here but some of mine might have to leave glitch :cry:.

37

though it’s ok for development because I’d imagine I’d stress out about running out of hours on gitpod, I developed this cool system and only found out the bot was banned when I tested it today.

38

Is this per app or per account?

It’s per account, not per app

This is going to be tough. I have to find a new host for everthing now.

41

Apparently I’m down to 11 hours or so lol, mainly because of crawlers and such…
Also some completely static sites not having any package.json are flagged as non static.

Insights on where request would come from and what determines whether a project is static or not would be very helpful.

You are a good friend and coder, i wish you good luck!
