Glitch is ending its web hosting service for apps on July 8, 2025, but will keep dashboards accessible for code downloads and redirects until the end of the year. The decision reflects the changing ecosystem with many new, powerful platforms emerging.

Why it matters: Glitch users must migrate their apps by year-end, impacting developers relying on its easy app hosting and sharing.

The big picture: Glitch paved the way for modern app platforms but now focuses on community support rather than hosting infrastructure.

The stakes: Users face potential downtime or data loss if they don’t export projects and set up redirects before deadlines.

Commenters say: Many appreciate Glitch’s respectful communication and transition support, while some seek alternative platforms and mourn the loss of a pioneering tool.
