CEO Anil Dash says that Glitch has 'the weirdest startup history.' Here's how Fog Creek Software became Glitch, and why programmers love it.
. Importantly, as you code, the changes to your app appear even as you code, meaning you can try something, see if it works, and tweak it as you'd like.To Dash's mind, the product reflects a philosophy that the web should be free and open for anybody to work with — in the same way that YouTube made it easy for anybody to become a video producer, Dash hopes that Glitch makes it equally"approachable" for anybody to make an app.
When you write an app in Glitch, says Dash, you're writing in stock-standard JavaScript — one of the most popular programming languages in the world, and a standard for web development. And despite the shininess of the Glitch interface, it uses the Git standard to track and save changes to the code. Dash says that as software becomes more important to the modern economy, companies are looking at tools like Glitch as a competitive differentiator: Anything that helps developers reduce the friction in their jobs makes them much happier, and therefore more productive and more likely to stick around.
Glitch Teams, its tool for businesses, carries additional features, but a similarly whimsical interface.There are no shortage of coding environments — including similarly web-based ones like Amazon Cloud9 — and every developer likely already has a favorite.
