This latest edition of the Glitch community roundup is dedicated to everyone who has tried to do a new thing and learned something cool. Experimenting is brave and sometimes frustrating work, and we think it’s important to commend everyone who tries! All this is to say that we wouldn’t even be able to put together a roundup without you visionary, mistake-making, project sharing people! Thank you for creating and giving the community new ideas to try each and every single day. 

Other things that happened in June ☀️

Fastify updated to v4 so Glitch starters got a little bit smarter too!  

We introduced a new series called This Was Too Big to Fit in Our Newsletter, learn how our homepage rainbow headers came to be!

We’re asking for your ideas that could help determine what kind of Glitch gear gets made! 

And now, onto the good stuff. In June 2022, the Glitch community created these. 

~almina-webgl-works-01 by @almina-orange is the first of their cool Three.js work on Glitch

~memory-village by @aTylerRobertson is an A-frame scene where you can leave notes around the web—metaversal geocaching!

~aframecomic5 by @emmettbaber is a mobile-friendly A-frame app that lets you navigate comics. Super inspiring, and Emmett is the creator who made their link in bio app in AR

 ~vissionss by @nappingg is a sweet song from an artist who coded this page themselves for it!

~false-aeolian-rondeletia by @higashi.kota is a neat CSS conic gradient demo. Check out their profile for other cool explorations of CSS and JS-generated art.

~pleasing-pattern-generator by @aTylerRobertson generates really beautiful patterns! He uses it to generate backgrounds of his Glitch in Bio on the fly!

~noiseless-sepia-ornament by @elvia.vasconcelos is a really awesome documentation of their process in turning their sketch notes into other media like embroidery and ceramics. Also take a look at ~hushed-wheat-chips, an intimate, visual essay challenging the process of questioning. 

~baths by @bradley lets you know who’s in charge at the iconic Russian & Turkish Baths in NYC, as in, the official site links to it lol.

~arrow-nickel-anise is a rock, paper, scissors game made from some #100devs participants!

Heardle variants are still going strong, but here’s a unique and cool clone themed around game show themes, ~gameshow-rdle by @jsach65.

~dotthing by @supermason.0209 is a mobile game where you gotta tap the dots before they disappear.

After we featured ~nails in our newsletter, @KaraAJC wrote in with this remix that adds SOUND! Click and drag inside the embed for full effect.

~fast-goblin-text by @wampastompa ˡₑᵗ'ₛ yₒᵤ ᵗyᵖₑ ᵗʰₑ wₐy ᵢ ᶠₑₑˡ ˡᵢₖₑ ᵢ ₛₒᵤⁿᵈ (“let's you type the way i feel like i sound”)

~weird-ai-prompt-generator by @samplereality is a prompt generator for when you run out of ideas to feed weird AI tools

As always, if you have Glitch projects or playlists you built or love and want us to feature, either share them on the forum, tweet them to us @glitch or email community@glitch.com—we’d love to see your work in our next roundup!

The project featured in this post’s header image is ~softxels-walker by creator @DaniGatunes, who is always blowing our minds with their Three.js and generative 3D work. Using their library softxels.js they created ~softxels-walker and many other generative walker experiments for generating 3D worlds on the fly.

Last month on Glitch, the June 2022 edition

All of our Glitch Node.js starter projects use the efficient and flexible server framework Fastify. The Fastify team recently released a major update–version 4 includes a number of improvements, but you will need to make a few changes to any existing remixes you created on Glitch before we updated the starters to use it. Read on to learn more!

You can read all about the changes in Fastify 4 in the announcement blog post–here are a few highlights:

Callback and promise confusion has been reduced by requiring calls to reply to be part of a return statement.

Error handling is now encapsulated to improve consistency.

Type providers are now included, allowing your apps to infer types from JSON Schema.

The listen signature has been simplified, with a view to improved contributor maintenance experience.

The minimum Node version now supported is 14.

Kudos to the Fastify maintainers and community for consistently developing a framework that affords Glitch Node.js apps such great performance!

When you edit a Node.js app in Glitch, you can manage your npm dependencies in the package.json file using the dropdown list that shows you any packages that have updates available. If you have a remix of Hello Node, Hello SQLite, or the blank / minimal versions of either of these starter projects, you’ll see the Fastify 4 update in the dropdown list–but you’ll need to make a few additional changes to get your app working with the new version.

Fastify 4 requires at least Node version 14, and there are some packages the starters use that have been deprecated and replaced–there are also a couple of minor server syntax changes.

In your project, open the Logs so that you see the progress unfold. Don’t worry when you see the little sweary face in your app Status at the bottom of the Glitch editor as you carry out the updates–it’s all part of the fun and they’ll turn happy again by the time you’re done!

Check out the help doc for detailed steps, here’s the TLDR; on what you’ll need to change:

Update the node version in your package JSON to 14

Remove any of the deprecated packages: fastify-static, fastify-formbody, point-of-view

Add any of these that you still plan on using with their replacements: @fastify/static, @fastify/view, @fastify/formbody

Update references to these in your server JS code

Update your server JS code listen function to pass the host and port values inside an object, like this: fastify.listen({port:process.env.PORT, host:'0.0.0.0'}...

Include calls to reply in a return statement

Give Glitch a little time to update and rebuild your project between steps and hopefully it’ll work the way you expect! If you have any issues take a look in the Logs, and turn on detailed logging in your server JS file if necessary. 

Check out the updated starters to see the new syntax in action:

Are you building anything new with the updated Fastify capabilities? Share it on the community forum!

Those two beautiful cheetah photographs at the top of the post were taken and shared with the commons by William Warby and James Temple 🐆

Smarter starters and better error handling, thanks to Fastify 4!

For our latest newsletter, I interviewed head of product, Jesse von Doom, who not only made this beautiful collection of colors in text happen, but he also created this well-commented demo on Glitch that walks you step by step through making a gradient header with different colored links. 

I asked him a few questions about the process, but we couldn’t fit it all into the newsletter, so please enjoy our newest series on the blog: This Was Too Big to Fit in Our Newsletter.

Color is a great tool for communicating a lot of nuance in any design. If pictures are worth a thousand words color has to be worth a few hundred at least. At Glitch we work with a wide, bright palette. We’re really intentional about the meaning behind it. We want the first impression of Glitch to be welcoming, optimistic, and lightweight. 

If you look at the Glitch homepage you’ll notice colors chosen for the header are the two main colors in the Glitch logo. On the page the logo itself is tiny, so the header is a call-back while the colors chosen for the links themselves are some of the brightest in our palette. So the idea was to be big and bold in how we invite people to build with Glitch, but to use color to reinforce that our community is inclusive, friendly, playful, and helpful.

(All of this is really valid, but also I just really love rainbows.)

How did you make having two headers shown as one accessible?

This part was super important — we’re technically using two headers to make the effect work. One with the main gradient text, and another mostly-invisible header for the links. It’d be a really bad experience for people using screen readers if the header were read twice, so we hide the header without links from screen readers using the `aria-hidden` attribute. 

What was the most challenging part of making it all work?

Getting two slightly different bits of text to wrap identically at all responsive screen sizes is a lot of attention to detail. So it meant explicitly setting a lot more CSS properties than usual, and adding a few extra spans to make sure each header matches the other’s footprint exactly. And with a header it’s also worth paying attention to a few other typographic bits like wrapping commas with links, etc. 

Shouts out to Jesse for making that magic happen. And because his demo is on Glitch, you can poke around the code and remix it for yourself! If you make a project with rainbows, text or otherwise, let us know by tweeting @glitch or send us an email at community@glitch.com. 🌈

This Was Too Big to Fit in Our Newsletter: How We Got Rainbows on the Homepage

What gives something the quality of being dreamy? Maybe you picture being in a through the looking glass type of pastel and foggy environment similar to somewhere real, but not quite right. Maybe you’re flying through space and time with superhuman abilities. Or maybe, you’re somewhere relaxing, with no one calling, texting, or asking you to be anything to anyone at all. That’s the thing about dreams — they’re different for everyone. Yet, somehow the Glitch community managed to make May a very dreamy month with both new and existing projects that made us stop to take some much needed time away from our collective realities. 

While you were dreaming, here are some very real and cool things that happened with Glitch. First, we joined Fastly! It’s a very exciting opportunity for both the product and the Glitch community and we can’t wait to tell you more about the road ahead. We also changed up the login process for those of you who joined Glitch with a Facebook account. No worries! Your account won’t change, you just have to update it. Read the full announcement, after you’ve seen all the very rad things created in May. 😏 

~draw-your-world by @enauman is a really inspiring project where p5.js is used to draw different elements from photos of the real world!

~strangely comes across the feed occasionally as @rowan-m updates it. Very satisfying :)

~lilcode-3dspace by @cafeinternet is a cool, chaotic 3D environment

~windowpane by @leannefthuang is an “examination of the self through art historical cultural ties, to better understand myself and myself as part of the Asian American diaspora.”

~conwaygameoflife-twitter-embed by @johuber is the iconic zero-player game, made to be embedded in a tweet!

~dream-geography by @niall84571 is a dreamy record of the places they’ve visited in their dreams.

thatkatharine.glitch.me - They learned how to do rounded corners in CSS for this, so that’s pretty awesome. 

m4g3.glitch.me is a Glitch in Bio with a cool, spacey goth theme.

~betterbandpod by @brandenpalomo is a Glitch in Bio for a Pearl Jam podcast!

~ridiculous-silly-header is @jessevondoom’s step-by-step process demo of the rainbow text on the Glitch homepage!

~goodbye-monster by @beckett is a browser-based pet sim made as a class project so it may not be openly accessible but you can see screenshots in this tweet.

~your-first-tech-job by @aTylerRobertson is a “persistently online multiplayer game of Espionage.”

We love this: ~choose-budget-dinner by @snotskie is an app that helps you and others you meal plan with decide on dinners together.

From soothing stories about dreams, to seeing big cities from a bird's eye view, or dreaming about not having to decide what’s for dinner, we’re a big fan of what you all imagine and create with Glitch!  As always, if you have Glitch projects or playlists you built or love and want us to feature, either share them on the forum, tweet them to us @glitch or email community@glitch.com—we’d love to see your work in our next roundup!

Last month on Glitch, the May 2022 edition

The Glitch community will no longer be able to use a Facebook account to log in to Glitch. If you created your Glitch account with Facebook, don’t fret, you will still be able to log in with the email address associated with your Facebook account. And if you don’t use Facebook, you don’t have to do anything!

Even better, you can use the handy Magic Link feature to update your Account Settings and change your password. 

The Glitch community has shown an overwhelming preference for other login services. This change helps us simplify the Glitch experience and more importantly, matches what our community has shared about their expectations for the platforms they trust. Creating and maintaining an inclusive environment where creators feel empowered to experiment and share is a responsibility we take seriously. 

Your trust is essential to us so we wanted to be clear about this change, and make sure you know you’ll always have access to your projects no matter how you log in.

Have features you’d like to see in Glitch? Let us know by sharing on the community forum.

The Glitch community will no longer be able to use a Facebook account to log in to Glitch.

A little poke: Still using Facebook login?

We have some huge, exciting news for Glitch and the entire Glitch community: Today, Glitch is becoming part of Fastly! We’re joining forces with the Fastly team to bring the creative power of Glitch to even more people, and to help make the internet better by making it easier for everyone to create.

First, for our loyal community of Glitch users who’ve been with us for years: you’re good, we got you. Nothing changes about your apps or your Glitch account with this news, and the changes you’ll see in the future will be about making Glitch better and even more fun and rewarding to use going forward.

If you’re new to Glitch, you should know what we’re about — Glitch is a friendly community where millions of people come together to create, share and remix web apps for work, play and everything in between. 

So, why are we joining forces with Fastly? There are a couple of great reasons. It starts with having more support and resources to keep improving Glitch. We’re hiring for incredible people to come help with this work, starting today with engineering roles on the Developer Relations team, and watch for Glitch-focused support, community and engineering roles coming soon, too. And they’ll be in good company — every single member of the Glitch team is coming along to our new home at Fastly, to continue making the site and the community with the same spirit and care that they’ve shown over the last 5+ years.

Over time, we’ll be tapping into Fastly’s incredible technologies to make it easier than ever to make fast, secure, expressive apps. Today, Fastly is best known for delivering content on the web incredibly quickly (thus the name!) and securely. But we’re also super excited about their edge platform, which will let people build new kinds of apps. We’ll talk more about that once we’ve got some specific stuff to show you, but if you can imagine the cool stuff you’d build with that power, then you’ve probably got a good sense of where we’re headed.

Most fundamentally, we know that Fastly’s whole team really understands what makes Glitch special, and has believed from day one in empowering more people to make a better internet. Glitch will be one of the most prominent parts of a broader effort to give all developers, regardless of their background or level of experience, the power to build sites and apps that are second to none. A lot of the time, when a little company becomes part of a big company, we worry about losing the things that made the little company (and its not-so-little community) really work. In this case, we’re enthusiastic and optimistic about being able to tap into the resources of a much larger and more global company to help Glitch reach the full potential that we’ve always hoped it would. After teaming up with the Fastly team last year on a partnership to give Glitch users access to Fastly’s new edge platform, we realized that we were thinking in very similar ways about how to help the most people create the most cool things possible, and that set the course for the announcement that we’re excited to make today!

We’ll share more details and updates as we go along, but for now, a great way to get a taste of what’s to come is to try out this starter app and make your own.

An Exciting Leap Forward for Glitch

Sometimes it feels like time is going by so fast, but as 2022 hops on from month to month we find that taking time out to reflect on the things that happen each month helps to demonstrate just how much is accomplished by the Glitch community each and every day. Recognizing your hard work, the kindness that you put out into the world, and the sense of wonder created by your imaginative projects is a constant reminder of how much curiosity and joy exists and the potential to discover even more. 

To complement that work, we recently gave the glitch.com homepage a long look and decided to jazz things up a little. We hope you enjoy the recent update. And, in case you missed it, our director of community, Jenn Schiffer recently appeared in a webinar with friends from Fastly and EdgeMesh to discuss Democratizing the Edge where many Glitch community shoutouts happened. Let’s continue the celebration of your efforts with April’s roundup of awesome projects, playlists, and more!

The app being discussed here is ~only-the-questions created by Clive Thompson and we couldn’t agree more! Read Clive’s post on the motivation behind building this project.

The biggest thanks, of course, goes out to you—the Glitch community for continuing to make the web and the world, a fun and special and interesting place to be. As always, if you have Glitch projects or playlists you built or love and want us to feature, either share them on the forum, tweet them to us @glitch or email community@glitch.com—we’d love to see your work in our next roundup!

The project featured in this post’s header image is ~double-pendulum-grid by @d.carverwilliams and was posted in the oddlysatisfying subreddit. It definitely earns that placement.

Sometimes it feels like time is going by so fast, but as 2022 hops on from month to month we find that taking time out to reflect on the things that happen each month helps to demonstrate just how much is accomplished by the Glitch community each and every day.

Last month on Glitch, the April 2022 edition

They say March “comes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb.” But the Glitch community is worldwide and knows no seasons, so we say March 2022 came in like a blobby duderino and went out like non-stop K-pop Heardle clones. Many K-pop Heardle clones. We truly love to see it! 

In case you missed it, we’re still signing folks up for Fastly’s Compute@Edge on Glitch beta if you want to give that a try. Otherwise please enjoy some of these standout projects from the Glitch community, and most importantly keep creating and keep sharing!

Last month on Glitch, the March 2022 edition

Hello there, and welcome to the latest edition of the Last month on Glitch recap, written to you from the—gasp!—third month of 2022.
