Glitch is three things. It's a simple tool for creating apps and websites that's enabling everyone to create on the web - whether you're a professional developer or just starting out, and even as part of a team. It's also a friendly, creative community comprised of millions of folks, from coders and designers to artists, activists, students, and educators. And it's a different kind of company - one that's setting the bar for thoughtful and ethical practices in tech, showing the industry that we can do better.

It's a big vision, and to do all those things right we need the resources to deliver. So we're announcing today that we've raised $30M in venture capital funding from Tiger Global Management.

We've been bootstrapped for almost 20 years, so the decision to raise funding wasn't one we took lightly. We know that a lot of creative communities online lost their way after taking funding, and we thought a lot about that risk. But we don't intend to repeat such mistakes, so we've raised funds on our own terms.

We're fortunate to have an incredible team, founders that have built multiple successful companies, and experienced leadership, which meant we could take our time and seek out funding in a thoughtful way, finding partners who believed in the long-term vision of what we’re trying to build. (And it’s especially unusual that we went with a single investor for the entire round of funding, to keep things simple and make sure we’re all on the same page.)

We're confident our fund-raising will only be a positive, and here's the proof: we actually closed the funding last year. We didn't announce it right away so we could show you that it's going to be good, rather than just make empty promises.

Since then we've doubled-down on building a friendly and welcoming community that's changing the way the web is made. We've grown our team of talented folks to extend our lead building innovative features that creators and developers love. We've continued to put our values into practice, honoring our core principle of valuing people - whether that's community members or the people on our team. With pay transparency, climate leave, public inclusion stats, and our open-source employee handbook, we're not just trying to say the right things, we're following through on those words by turning them into policies and practices that are unprecedented for a company at our stage.

There's a lot more to do, and we're just a small but growing company that's competing with giants. But if you're looking to take on an incredibly rewarding challenge while working with one of the most thoughtful and creative teams in tech, then take a look at our open roles. We're hiring strong, inclusive, experienced leaders across Engineering, Marketing, Design, and People.

Glitch Raises $30M Series A Round from Tiger Global

We're evolving "developer tools" into a creative and expressive platform that everyone can use to create the web. On Glitch, coding with friends is like working together in Google Docs–multiple people can work on the same project at the same time. There's no setup, and you can see changes live on the web as you type.

By radically lowering the barriers to creating with code, our creative community of millions of people has now made more than 2.5M apps. For context, that’s more than Apple’s App Store, though since people create on Glitch by remixing each other’s work, it’s not exactly an… apples-to-apples comparison. 😇

From useful tools that solve problems at work, to VR experiences, smart bots, and apps for important causes, the community on Glitch is creating the cutting-edge of the web.

Take Julius Tarng's "tokimeki-unfollow," it's the perfect app for tidying up your Twitter timeline. Decide whether each person you follow still sparks joy. If not, hit that unfollow button! As Samantha Cole writes in Vice, "if hell is other people, Twitter is a whole other kind of damnation. But after unfollowing 50 people… I can say that at least the meditative process of considering my connections sparked a little joy."

With "nelson" created by Arielle Vaniderstine, you can tailor the perfect playlist to how you're feeling right now. Specify the genre, tempo, popularity, and several more esoteric attributes from the valence to danceability. As The Verge put it, with Nelson you can "make yourself some half-human, half-algorithm cyborg playlists." Or perhaps you're more worried about your secret love of Enya getting out? Then Eric Lewis' "make-all-spotify-playlists-secret" is the app for you.

There are fun apps too, like "webcomicname-mashup". Created by Ravelry co-founder, Casey Forbes, it's an addictive generator for creating your own versions of Alex Norris' 'Oh No' comics. From reflections on our productivity-sapping obsession with gadgets to poignant comments on the state of discussions of identity and gender, the results can be en pointe.

Or maybe you've always wanted to create your own comic, except there's just one problem–you can't draw? Don't worry, the bots have your back. Monica Dinculescu's "magic-sketchpad" uses machine learning to complete your sketches for you.

While Aaron Z. Best's "FoodHype" food trend generator serves up novelty food titles that Food & Wine quipped "are the stuff of meat-sweat-induced fever dreams." A few clicks in and you'll be questioning whether they are actually fake foods or real clickbait headlines.

Of course, folks have created apps that help advance important causes too. Like "congress-tracker" by Jason Crane, which utilizes ProPublica's Congress API to make keeping up with bills and statements by members of Congress on gun violence easier. And Baratunde Thurston, the Emmy-nominated ex-producer of The Daily Show, created "livingwhileblack." It asks whether you can tell which headlines are real, highlighting the phenomenon of white people calling the police on black people simply living their lives.

Glitch's community also includes some of the biggest companies in Tech. Google's Material design team launched "material-theme-builder" on Glitch, which you can use to style and remix themeable components and create your own custom version of Material Design. Slack share template apps and tutorials using Glitch to make building bots easier than ever. While the Twitch dev team routinely live stream using Glitch on Twitch.

We're working with partners across industries, not just tech. Like teaming up with Discovery and MythBusters Jr. to transform their science-based TV episodes into interactive apps. Or working with the likes of Questlove, Adam Savage, and the publisher Andrews McMeel on several book launches.

But ultimately, what we're trying to do is enable everyone to create the web. It's easy to forget in this era of Unicorn startups and billion-dollar IPOs that many people got started on the web by tweaking the HTML of a GeoCities page or perfecting the CSS on their MySpace profile. Back then, people were almost as likely to make a web page as read one. Now though, things have changed. Most modern websites all look the same, and people spend almost all their time using just three apps. So it seems more important than ever to remind ourselves that the web is still a thing we can all make, not just something we consume.

We're proud to be enabling creativity with code like no tool has done before, and to be working alongside the most friendly, and thoughtful community on the internet.

We can't wait to see what you all create next❣️

Glitch Now Has More Apps than Apple's App Store - 2.5 Million of Them

Last month, Stack Overflow published the aggregated results from their annual Developer Survey. Capturing the opinions of folks who code from around the world, the survey is an important source of insights into the developer community. This year almost 90,000 developers shared their opinions about the jobs they have, the technologies they use, and where they see the industry going.

Today, Stack Overflow released the full data set. To make it more accessible, we've partnered with them and have created two example apps that you can use to explore the data and discover your own insights.

There are many things we can learn from a large, rich dataset like this - from exploring questions about remote work to those about developer salaries, or how companies can better engage with developers. In our example app, we dig into job and career satisfaction levels and how they differ by demographic factors.

The front-end app takes the form of a question, such as, 'how does [selected demographic group] feel about [selected topic]?' It makes use of Chart.js, a JavaScript library for making interactive charts and graphs. Don't worry if you're not already familiar with Chart.js - we have a tutorial that steps through a real, working project that you can use to get up to speed.

To begin creating your own app, we suggest you start by looking at how the data is organized – look through the results and schema on the back-end app. Then remix the front-end app to create your own data visualizations.

Once you've remixed the front-end app, you can begin to make it your own.

Edit script.js, style.css, and index.html to change the appearance of the app.

Chart.js is used in script.js to render a chart using data from the back-end app's database.

Reference the Chart.js docs and change the drawChart function in script.js to visualize the data using different types of graphs.

Try changing a topic in index.html to pull in data from a different question. For example, if you change line 86 from this:

    <option value="Hobbyist">about writing code as a hobby?</option>


    <option value="WorkLoc">about where they'd prefer to work?</option>


you'll get results on people's preferred work setting (home vs. office vs. coworking space).

You can reference the set of questions to get some ideas; just get the Column entry related to the question you're interested in, and set it as the value parameter in <option value="Hobbyist">. You don't need to change the text of the question to fetch the data, but it'll keep things organized if you label it appropriately.

Some suggested questions to explore include:

How much do developers of a given seniority make in country x?

How does organization size relate to use of containers/unit tests/how structured or planned the work is?

Is level of education related to job satisfaction?

How does being an under-represented minority in tech affect work experience?

Is there a correlation between having dependents and being structured at work?

Let's explore the survey results using our example app, which takes a deep-dive into job and career satisfaction levels by demographic factors.

In general, we can see that satisfaction levels are high among developers - 2 in 3 are slightly or very satisfied with their current job, and 3 in 4 are slightly or very satisfied with their careers. But if you begin to filter by factors like gender and race you see variations. In particular, those from minority groups express lower job and career satisfaction levels.

Satisfaction levels are highest among cis-gendered men and women. However, for people identifying as non-binary, genderqueer, or gender non-conforming, satisfaction levels are lower. While the majority are still satisfied, results are shifted towards lower satisfaction levels with 13% saying that they're slightly dissatisfied (compared to 11% overall) and 6% very dissatisfied (5% overall) with their career, for example. A similar trend can be seen when comparing career and job satisfaction levels among trans to cis-gendered folks too.

Job and career satisfaction levels differ when breaking results down by race as well. 36% of developers indicating they're White or of European descent respond that they're 'very satisfied' with their current job compared to 32% across all respondents, and have low scores across measures of dissatisfaction. Job satisfaction levels are generally lower for those identifying as Black or of African descent. 24% are very satisfied compared to 32% overall and were also more likely to be dissatisfied in their current job, with 17% choosing slightly dissatisfied (15% overall) and 10% very dissatisfied (7% overall). This trend continues across other racial minority groups, with a larger portion of Hispanic or Latino/Latina developers and Middle Eastern developers, for example, recording lower job and career satisfaction levels.

It's important to understand why satisfaction levels are lower for some groups of people, and results from other parts of the Developer Survey suggest some possible reasons.

Of course, non-demographic factors impact job satisfaction levels. Developers with the lowest job satisfaction by job type, for example, include academic researchers, educators, scientists, and designers, who are all on the lower end of average pay rates too. When it comes to factors impacting productivity, gender minority respondents are more likely to say that toxic work environments are an important factor. And in terms of job priorities, developers who belong to gender minorities in tech rank the office environment and company culture as their highest concern and are more likely to say the diversity of an organization is an important concern for them. Whereas many racial minorities prioritized opportunities for professional development higher than other groups, with 49% of developers of Black or African descent saying it's a priority for them compared to 44% overall, for example.

Feelings of impostor syndrome play a role in lower satisfaction levels too. When asked to evaluate their own competence for the kind of work they do and their years of experience, men, for example, are much more likely to say they are far or a little above average compared to responses from gender minorities, with men typically growing more confident much more quickly.

The Developer Survey results suggest some gradual positive change in things like gender and race representation in tech. But by exploring the data for job satisfaction levels by demographic factors in this example app, it becomes clear that those changes could be short-lived if we as an industry don't tackle lower satisfaction levels among minority groups.

We look forward to seeing what you discover using the public data release of the 2019 Stack Overflow Developer Survey. Get started by remixing our example app to make it your own.

If you have any questions or need help, reach out to us on Twitter or post your question in the support forums.

Discover Insights in Developer Survey Results

After 40-plus years of making, Adam has solved his fair share of problems. He's also picked up plenty of lessons along the way. Part memoir, part creative toolkit, his book confirms what we've suspected all along: making is messy, and filled with screw-ups. We hope the book will both permit and inspire you to get comfortable, and have some fun on your path to creativity.

At Glitch, we live by those same principles. We don't wait until everything is perfect to begin a project. Like Adam, we use what we have available. And when we need help, we ask our friends. After all, we're creators too.

In fact, earlier this year we collaborated with Adam on the launch of MythBusters Jr., transforming each episode's investigation into its own interactive app. You can find and play all of those apps here. In celebration of his new book, we took the liberty of updating one of our favorites.

Adam Savage's Whoopie Cushion is a  app made for fun and remixing. Remixing it will give you your own working copy here on Glitch, which you can edit however you like. It comes pre-loaded with 3 awesome fart sounds, including one just for Adam!

When it comes to creativity, you can't take yourself too seriously.  gives you the permission slip to become your creative self by helping you find inspiration and follow through on making your ideas a reality.

A Permission Slip from Adam Savage

The Stack Overflow Developer Survey has become a staple in the developer community. Now in its 9th year, the survey, which garners around 100,000 responses, captures the opinions of folks who code from around the world. It's an important source of insights into the developer community as a whole.

People share their opinions on a wide range of subjects, from their favorite tech to job preferences, how they got into programming, to how much they're paid. Being such a large and rich dataset makes it a powerful predictor of industry trends and allows us to explore our understanding of how developers work and can help companies hire and engage with developers.

While the anonymized survey results will be available publicly later this year, we wanted to make the current aggregated survey results more accessible. We've created two interactive charts on Glitch that focus on the technology section of the 2019 Developer Survey results.

You can use the apps directly to explore the results in more depth. Or, because they're remixable, you can take a closer look at specific technologies you're interested in by creating your own versions of the apps and visualizing the data in different ways.

Most Loved, Dreaded, and Wanted Technologies

First up, the results for the most loved, dreaded and wanted tech. With this chart, you can see how your favorite technologies stack up against each other by taking a look at the different programming languages, platforms, databases, frameworks, and other tools that developers said they wanted to keep, stop or start using.

Our second project explores the results of the most popular tech overall. Based on six categories of data - languages, platforms, databases, web frameworks, dev environments, and other tools, take a look at which technologies were the most well used across the developer community.

Both of these apps are a way for developers to interact with the data more closely. In fact, you can use the remix buttons above to take these apps and create your own versions of them to play around with the data yourself.

Both of these apps use Chart.js, a JavaScript library for making interactive charts and graphs. If you're not already familiar with Chart.js, then don't worry. We have a tutorial that steps through a real, working project, that you can use to get up to speed.

Then, go ahead and remix the apps to get a copy of the code and data yourself. Both apps have a similar structure:

You can edit public/client.js, public/style.css and views/index.html to change the appearance of the app.

Chart.js is used in client.js to render a chart using data from the app's database.

Reference the Chart.js docs and change the renderChart function in client.js to visualize the data using different types of graphs.

The app starts at server.js and accesses the data in the database through routes (/getLanguages, /getDatabases, etc.)

The apps use SQLite to store the aggregated tech data from the CSV files included in the project.

server.js is where the code lives that creates the database and fills it with the data.

As they've done in the last 8 years, Stack Overflow have committed to releasing the full, anonymized survey results data later this year. But until then, we hope these apps have made the current data more accessible and interactive.

If you have any questions or need help, reach out to us on Twitter @glitch or post your question in the support forums.

Delve Into Developer Survey Results Data

The web just turned 30, and it's having a quarter-life crisis. But if it's having a quarter-life crisis at 30, the outlook for our future is bleak: The written word is thousands of years old. The printed word is nearly 600 years old. The web? The web, if it's going to be what we need it to be as a society, is barely a baby.

Since its invention in the bowels of a nuclear research laboratory in 1989, the web has changed dramatically.

It started open, and creative. You literally had to create it! Now we're surrounded by billion-dollar startups that want to do anything but let us actually be a part of the web. Instead, these companies want us to experience the web like we watch TV.

Take a look at the earliest webpage we know still exists, created by the web's creator Tim Berners-Lee:

Notice anything? It's simple. So simple that if you've never looked at the source code of a website before, you probably still have a sense of what's going on. But take a look at the code of your favorite social network now, and you'll see it's very different. It's complex. It's not user-friendly. And that means we're in the dark about our own future, and the future of our web.

If we're going to make sure that the web is for everyone, it helps to take a quick spin through the last 30 years:

GeoCities launched in 1994. Millions of people could express themselves online for the first time in an easy way. If you're a certain age, you probably remember it looking a little something like this:

The first "social" media was in full force by the end of the 90's. What was the social web like in 1999? If you don't remember, or just want a little trip down a LiveJournal rabbit hole, we went there:

Ten years later, people were finding each other to share code and ask questions about code. One thing led to another and JavaScript use skyrocketed.

At the very same time as the people who made the web were becoming closer, the web was actively becoming harder to make. It was becoming less open and less accessible. App stores and "walled garden" social networks kept users from tinkering or getting messy under the hood.

Here’s where we’re at: The web is 30 years old and it’s in crisis. So what do we do? We’re signing The Web Foundation's Contract for the Web, and we encourage you to do so too. It's a roadmap for building a web that can serve everyone as a public good. But that’s just the first step.

It’s up to us to take things into our own hands, to make sure that the web isn’t a thing that happens  us, to make sure that it’s something we create. At Glitch, we’re helping to power it, but the responsibility for creating the web we want is on you, too.

So take back some control of your social networks. Or start a new app yourself, even if you're brand new to coding.

The Web Is 30. Whether That's Young or Old Is up to Us.

This Week on Function: Why Are Outdated Voting Machines Still Running U.S. Elections?

The 2018 midterm elections have wrapped up here in the U.S., and issues with voting machines are back in the news cycle. It's not a hanging chad situation like the 2000 presidential election recount in Florida, but malfunctions, outdated tech, and talk of interference from foreign powers has tanked voter confidence. With the 2020 U.S. presidential campaign season about to kickoff, how do you rock the vote when you're not even sure it's being properly counted? And how do you put trust in a voting system that's full of weak links?

On Function this week, we're looking at voting machines and election security. Anil talks with Verified Voting data consultant Matt Bernhard about the history of voting machines and the broad social implications of technology and privacy. We also talk to Maurice Turner, a former poll worker and senior technologist at the Center for Democracy and Technology, who gives practical advice for individual voters who are worried about the trustworthiness of their local precincts.

Twitter has made a tremendous impact on the Web, but if you've been on there for any recent amount of time, you know that it can become way too easy to tweet any and every thought that comes into your head. Not only that, your archive of tweets is ripe for the picking for any other Twitter user to amplify and completely blow out of context.

Start the year on a fresh slate with this app from Glitch user Ryan Giglio (@ryangiglio) and delete your entire Twitter archive. To get started, just remix the app and follow the directions in the README. Don't forget to download your tweet archive first (that is, if you'd like to hold on to it for nostalgia's sake).

Speaking of going out with a bang, London-based engineer and Glitch user Rowan Manning (@rowanmanning) created an app that turns regular boring emoji into exploding emoji --  Spice up those conversations in your Slack team and add a little  to your chat room. (And unlike most exploding things, you can try this at home.)

Unlock your inner Picasso this holiday season with this really fun drawing app from Google engineer and Glitch user Monica Dinculescu (@notwaldorf). Magic Sketchpad uses machine learning to complete a doodle you create based on a specific category you select, such as dolphin or cat. Try drawing multiple categories on the same page and let the app do the rest.

Python contributor, educator, and Glitch user Carl Friedrich Bolz-Tereick (@cfbolz) highlights a great educational use for Glitch. In Porting Jürgen LIT Fischer's "sinus" from Fortran, Carl talks about Fischer's computer artwork, walks through the process of converting it to JavaScript, and then concludes with an interactive version of one of Fischer's pieces. If learning to code is on your list of new year's resolutions, then Carl's app is a great template to follow as you begin your coding journey.

Looky What We Made

This is Glitch

TLDR: We’ve renamed Fog Creek to Glitch, Inc. to represent our single-minded focus on Glitch. We’re hiring for a bunch of new positions (with more to come!) and welcoming a slate of new advisors. And it’s all in service of making Glitch one of the most important creative communities on the Internet, and having our company set the standard for thoughtful, ethical technology.

Back in 2000, two visionary founders, Joel Spolsky and Michael Pryor, envisioned a new tech company that would distinguish itself by the way it treated people — both its employees and its customers. Their belief was that being better to people would yield more invention, more innovation, and a much more pleasant place to work.

Well, they were right. The company they created, Fog Creek Software, has gone on to create multiple groundbreaking products and to help change the entire tech industry along the way.

From inventing Trello to co-creating Stack Overflow to pioneering bug tracking with FogBugz and launching other successful and influential products like Manuscript and Kiln and Copilot and CityDesk and many other experiments. Fog Creek has been a bastion of innovation for nearly two decades.

And today, we’re turning the page on that chapter for something new.

When we started working on the project that would become Glitch, it was originally just part of our regular “Creek Week” process — the internal hackathons where members on our team come up with new ideas and try to inspire each other with cool projects. It became obvious pretty quickly that Glitch was something special.

Then earlier this year, when Glitch came out of beta, we saw an incredible groundswell. As a creative community, Glitch inspired people to create over a million apps in record time — including cutting-edge work in VR, machine learning, distributed apps, bots, and more. And Glitch has won the hearts of developers around the world who now feel that coding with other tools feels a lot more lonely and less productive. Just as importantly, Glitch has reminded an entire community that a healthy, independent, open web generates enormous value for everyone on the Internet, earning the attention and respect of many of the biggest players on the web.

One of the guiding principles for Glitch is that we should communicate with clarity, and that our purpose and goals should be self-evident in all we do. And that’s led us to recognize it’s time for us to become Glitch. It’s not just what we’re building, it’s who we are as a company. While the core values of Fog Creek still persist, we’ve also learned a lot and evolved a lot over the last two decades, and now our name and identity are evolving, too.

In terms of Glitch as a community and as a product, nothing’s changing. We’re doubling down on being a friendly and welcoming community, and focusing our efforts and investment on extending our lead in innovative features that creators and developers love.

We’re holding tight to our values, honoring our core principles of valuing people — whether that’s our community members or the workers on our team. And we’re expanding our history of transparency and accountability, with meaningful efforts like publishing our entire employee handbook publicly. (It’s a Glitch app, naturally.) This lets us show the world how we put our values into practice. We also want to do more: Glitch, Inc. is designed to be a company that sets the bar on best practices for how we treat our community, customers, coworkers and collaborators.

There’s lots of news coming for Glitch as a product, too. We’re getting ready to open up , to make it easy for your whole organization to collaborate on Glitch. (Tell your boss you want your team to be one of the first to use this new super-productive set of tools!) We’ll be building a powerful and valuable set of paid features on top of Teams to give even more options for organizations that want to get more out of Glitch, and to build a long-term sustainable business model for the platform and the company.

And we’re ecstatic to welcome a formidable slate of new advisors to help us grow Glitch, and expand our vision, and ensure that we practice the values we aspire to exemplify. Kimberly Bryant, Alan Cooper, Jason Goldman, and Franklin Leonard have a broad set of backgrounds covering everything from education to policy, user experience to filmmaking, social networks to social justice. And each of them brings unique expertise and insight into how we’re going to bring Glitch to millions more people around the world. We’re so thankful to them for joining us!

That brings us to perhaps our most important announcement today: . Whether that’s as a member of the Glitch community, or by checking out the new job listings we’ve rolled out today (with more to come soon), we want you to be part of where Glitch is going.

Glitch is a very different kind of tech company, explicitly committed to setting the standard on thoughtful and ethical practices, and with an unparalleled track record of nonstop innovation for almost two decades. If that combination is appealing to you, take a look at the positions we’ve listed, and share the job openings with your friends who share those values.

Fog Creek is now Glitch!

He also serves on the boards of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Data & Society Research Institute, and was formerly a contributing editor of WIRED. He’s been blogging since 1999 and won’t stop telling people about that one time he was on the Desus and Mero late-night show.
