Glitch was ideal for creative coding classes and workshops. I looked around for alternatives. But there was nothing that was open, decentralized, and not at the mercy of VCs or Big Tech. <br/><br/>So I built my own. Here&#39;s Glitchlet.<br/><br/>Glitchlet runs on any shared hosting service (e.g., Reclaim Hosting). If you can run WordPress, you can run Glitchlet. Projects-in-progress are stored in the browser&#39;s local storage, but you can also one-click publish to make them public and remixable. Glitchlet is designed with educators in mind.<br/><br/>There&#39;s no single, primary Glitchlet that everyone uses. The idea is that every instructor installs their own Glitchlet and manages their own classes/workshops/projects. You can seed your instance with template files, or Glitchlet can easily import projects (including archived Glitch .tgz files).<br/><br/>Making something so easy to install and host has trade-offs, of course. No fancy pants Node or React projects, but Glitchlet works beautifully with HTML/JavaScript/CSS. No live collaboration, but you can still remix published projects.<br/><br/>Best of all—you&#39;re in control and not subject to the whims of some startup that suddenly decides to &#34;sunset&#34; a key pedagogical tool. <br/><br/>Glitchlet is alpha now, but its code will available to all very soon!<br/><br/> <img src="https://post.lurk.org/system/media_attachments/files/116/053/172/541/026/728/original/dd1c6e63e3aa02a7.png"> 2026-02-11T17:31:01Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswp3jnnhcq73xluk6g0h2nyw09dcc08w0qk0m4jayfcz6u9d5vtcczypumesgunag0l40zzerajf2fnpr3px0uufds3u5j3neflmx8esj5zjwf85w &#34;The real poverty line—the threshold where a family can afford housing, healthcare, childcare, and transportation without relying on means-tested benefits—isn’t $31,200.<br/><br/>It’s ~$140,000.&#34;<br/><br/><a href="https://www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-life-is-a-lie?open=false#%C2%A7how-a-broken-benchmark-quietly-broke-america">https://www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-life-is-a-lie?open=false#%C2%A7how-a-broken-benchmark-quietly-broke-america</a> 2025-11-27T04:30:16Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsfe5wdknv7vdqcap5jpqdf7nex075y87amtc0w7x4qmx74nfnkvwszypumesgunag0l40zzerajf2fnpr3px0uufds3u5j3neflmx8esj5zw5tqvn Introducing <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqg6hdu3m32ktjjamly7key7dz89mk8ya9vm07lnpjvylcqznwvlmsngkwmr" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqg6hdu3m32ktjjamly7key7dz89mk8ya9vm07lnpjvylcqznwvlmsngkwmr</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…kwmr</span>)</a></span>, a bot that posts random room descriptions from all the old Infocom games. <br/><br/>As a bonus, reply to the bot with an i or inventory to find out what you&#39;re carrying.
