Honest Glitch review
What do you like best about Glitch?
The ease of viewing your development directly on a side pane without any need for extensions is the best feature. Glitch supports almost all kinds of web developments and a super tool for collaborators and independent developers.
What do you dislike about Glitch?
Glitch has very less controllability for version control as compared to git. Creating folders/ directories is a bit tedious. Glitch provides less support in terms of fast smart coding features like autocompletion and code suggestions.
What problems is Glitch solving and how is that benefiting you?
Glitch is definitely a super tool. Hosting websites and web apps for free, easy collaboration tools for developers, download the whole project, changes view side pane, terminal support, support for major development frameworks like JS, NodeJs, React, etc. A tool to sort out multiple dependencies. You can create free CDNs for asset delivery too.

Establishing proof of concepts of ad-hoc ideas Lightweight and simple, excellent for prototyping as the code is instantly deployed.
What do you like best about Glitch?
Minimal setup and configuration required. I can get started with an Express NodeJS API in less than a minute, and the best part is whatever I code is instantly deployed and available for use without any hassle.
What do you dislike about Glitch?
Also, the UI is very lightweight and fast.
Recommendations to others considering Glitch?
There is no code completion or similar IDE features available. Even many commonly used keyboard mappings do not work on Glitch.
What problems is Glitch solving and how is that benefiting you?
There should be more ready-to-use templates, for example, a NestJS boilerplate would be awesome.

super simple setup, very little maintenance
What do you like best about Glitch?
you can set up as many "projects" as you want. that really takes out the hassle of reviewing which ones you can delete to make room for new ones, and then, necessarily, updating things that had referred to deleted projects.
What do you dislike about Glitch?
the runtime environment has some old things. it's running Ubuntu 16.04, so you can't upgrade Node.js past v16.x. luckily we don't have a very picky project, and it works fine on the versions of Node.js that Glitch supports.
What problems is Glitch solving and how is that benefiting you?
we use Glitch to let our programmers set up simple unofficial web apps, such as public code samples. it gives us an environment that can set up npm dependencies and build tools and run a web server.

it, but Glitch is way better Best online IDE and hosting platform
What do you like best about Glitch?
Glitch.com is an awesome IDE & hosting platform, way better than one of its main competitors, Repl.it. It has a very supportive community, multiple unofficial addons, and much more.
What do you dislike about Glitch?
The only problem of glitch is that non-static projects go to "sleep" after some time. That means that you have to wait for it to "wake up", and sometimes that can take up to a minute.
What problems is Glitch solving and how is that benefiting you?
Glitch is an awesome IDE and hosting, and it's solving one of the main issues I had: Where should I host my projects, to then show them to the world? I also used Repl.

Code and host at same place!!!
What do you like best about Glitch?
Glitch UI is user-friendly it provides templates for many modern frameworks/libraries like react.js node, elementary and SQLite. With glitch we have both an online code editor to develop our website as well as to host it with a single click, glitch takes care of the domain and everything. We can also collaborate with the team in glitch, plus glitch has the option to set a custom domain as well.
What do you dislike about Glitch?
In the free version of glitch, the website goes to sleep when it's not used giving an impression of the website being slow when opened after some time. Glitch also lacks an autocompletion option in its editor.
Recommendations to others considering Glitch?
Glitch can be used to quickly host code and to collaborate with the team on a large project.
What problems is Glitch solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use glitch as a hosting platform for my react-based projects.

Amazing service.
What do you like best about Glitch?
Glitch is a simplistic and easy service that allows me to quickly deploy small projects like my portfolio that doesn't require much maintenance and is easy to use.
What do you dislike about Glitch?
Glitchs pricing is slightly damning for small personal projects, however it makes sense if you wish to deploy a medium-large scaled application for your company using Glitch.
What problems is Glitch solving and how is that benefiting you?
Glitch is easy to use, modular and low maintenance meaning its great for things like a personal API or your personal portfolio. It seems professional without branding and fast to your potential employers.

One of the best online coding and hosting platform.
What do you like best about Glitch?
I like to use this platform a lot as it has a lot of features which help a lot to save your time and money. We can code online in multiple languages, not just individually but in a team as well. Its UI is modern and very attractive. While coding on this platform it doesn't feel like you are coming online as it doesn't lag. It provides a lot of starter templates for different languages which helps a lot. Most of the other online coding platforms lack modern frameworks like react.js and node.js but glitch covers all these new tools in their platform. It also provides hosting for personal projects. I got a lot of help from this feature as earlier I had a lot of projects and I hosted them all here on glich. We can also add custom domains to it. I have also used it to make my portfolio here as it is easy to share our profile link with any recruiter and they can view all our projects here. And those projects can be from any tech stack it can be hosted here.
What do you dislike about Glitch?
The main problem with glitch is that it put your project to sleep if you don't access it for a long time and it takes a lot of time to wake it up again. so if you have to show your projects somewhere on a priority basis then you might get a bad experience. The wake-up time should be less rest everything is great.
Recommendations to others considering Glitch?
If you want to make a portfolio where you can host all your projects then glitch can be your first preference. it is an amazing tool.
What problems is Glitch solving and how is that benefiting you?
The major problem that glitch has solved for me is the project hosting. There might be other free hosting tools available in the market like Netlify and Heroku but they were not much great in hosting node and python projects secondly we need to give credit card details on their platform to add custom domains but here we can add our custom domains for free. It also helped a lot in coding collaboratively with our team. It provides a good amount of cloud storage and we can also directly link it with the Github repositories.

There are many things that could have been better on top of my mind their autocorrect is not working properly and suggestion of the words are sambodhit useless.
What problems is Glitch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Code Review Best For Free hosting.
What do you like best about Glitch?
I am a student intern, and The Best Part about Glitch is that it gives me free hosting. I create my project or import it on glitch and host the project and share it with my team or mentors. It gives me all the necessary tools to build a website from scratch. It supports JS also, and js frameworks work fine here too. The interface is straightforward and very user-friendly. You can share your complete project too with your batchmates with hosted URL. Glitch is better than Codepen and other code review software out there.
What do you dislike about Glitch?
Naming a project is a little complicated as it auto-replaces the text again and again, and also, if autosuggestion can be added while writing code will be the best.
Recommendations to others considering Glitch?
It is better than code pen and easy to use than Github pages. Just for it and you will love it.
What problems is Glitch solving and how is that benefiting you?
-Project Building from scratch.

Glitch as a FrontEnd Tool
What do you like best about Glitch?
I love that glitch provides you with all that is needed to build a live website, even share and live edit with your peers in a very simple style.
What do you dislike about Glitch?
Uploading images and files is very simple and fast. It also provides some templates if needed!
Recommendations to others considering Glitch?
Glitch is an online preview so sometimes pixel sizes may vary or be a little bit smaller than the final build of the site, but it's just a matter of tweaking.
What problems is Glitch solving and how is that benefiting you?
Build, share, preview, and modify live websites.
