Something For Everyone

Did you hear? We just rolled out new improvements to our app pages and profiles, making it easier than ever to create something awesome on Glitch. Check out the variety of fun new apps we’re featuring this week!

Prank Your Friends with a Remote Airhorn #

Have a little fun with your buddies using this nifty remote airhorn app from Glitch user Paul Kinlan (@PaulKinlan). Open the airhorn to control it from another tab, or click the Cast button and control the horn from any Cast-enabled device on your network! Just don’t get in trouble!

What Are You Listening To? #

Remember when AOL Instant Messenger had that feature that would broadcast the current song you were playing on your computer as your status? Glitch user Pamela Ocampo (@pamo) does, and she built an app that syncs your Slack status to whatever song you’re playing on Spotify.

Now all your co-workers can see that you’ve been playing “In My Feelings” for the past hour!

Two Examples of Stunning, Random Art #

This simple yet colorful app from Glitch user Zac Colley (@zaccolley) utilizes p5.js to generate a series of line drawings. The result is a quilt-like display of tiles which changes every time you refresh the page.

Zac created the app after being inspired by London-based artist and educator Saskia Freeke as part of a p5.js workshop from Queer Code London, and he did a great job capturing the essence of Saskia’s design!

Try remixing this project and adding your own flair to it! ✨

Looking for some more vibrant art? Generative Crystals from software engineer Stephan Max implements the Generative Crystal Design System from IDEO.org’s Matthew Epler into an app that randomly creates hexagonal and six-pronged crystal designs. Keep refreshing the page for new designs!

Congrats! It’s a Sport Utility Vehicle! #

Take the unnecessary fanfare out of revealing the gender of your baby with the latest app from Glitch user Noelle Leigh (@noelleleigh)! Click or tap the “Reveal Gender” button, and the app will tell you exactly what your new kid’s gender will be.

It’s better living through technology, and the app was released on World Emoji Day! Have a look at our round-up of other emoji-inspired apps on Glitch!

Make Your Own 360° Tour! #

Several users have made great, immersive environments using Aframe and WebVR on Glitch, but this app by Glitch user Josh Marinacci (@joshmarinacci) takes that concept to a whole other level.

360 Workshop stitches together several 3D photos into a 360° tour — just hover over the red, yellow, or blue dots to navigate the tour. The full process is outlined on Mozilla Hacks, and it looks like a great weekend project to try. Build your own tour by remixing the project — Josh has even included some Creative Commons images for you to use!

These apps are a true testament to how the Glitch community uses their creativity to make projects that are useful, beautiful, and easily approachable. What Glitch apps should we feature next? Share them with us! 🌟
