When my computer broke I realized how much I relied on it to update my website. This spurred me to migrate my website to Glitch, where I can update...

Nice post Melissa! 🙌 I personally use Glitch to edit and test my gatsby site (and almost any project 👀❤); to prevent the rebuild process when in development I use a
watch.jsonfile on glitch and then I export the project to GitHub.Great idea, I should totally do this!
Nice article Melissa!
There's definitely something to be gained for being able to update one's own website in a much more friendlier way. Dreamhost still feels a bit like it's out from the 90s in terms of usability, one step away from "upload your files with FTP" kinda of vibe!
I definitely need to spend some quality time with Glitch :D
This might be because, I suppose, your macOS is formatted with a "case sensitive" file system. To test this theory you can open the app "Disk utility" and see if your file system is listed as
Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Case-sensitiveorAPFS (Case-sensitive)Wow, great example, definitely shows the power of Glitch. I think the DevOps process you describe is not quite there yet but then again, the beauty of Glitch is how approachable it is for anyone, so I can see there's a line to walk on simplicity vs depth.
If you ever do a follow up on automating this in some way (as you hinted) then I'd be excited to read that!
Thanks for the post!
Thanks! I hope to get the post on the automated process up soon. Unfortunately it uses our API which is in the process of being actively developed into a public API, so it might not work forever. But basically it's a Probot that just detects when I merge in Github and deploys to Glitch.
I came across this post trying to get Gatsby v2 and v3 to work on Glitch, but it seems that even your demo is taken down. I know that officially Glitch supports Vite & Eleventy, but do you have any insight on what's happened with npm, Glitch, or Gatsby that's made it so difficult to put Glitch projects up now?
For example... whenever npm needs to install packages, it doesn't install Gatsby's peer dependencies and breaks the app!
Good article! I host my website on Glitch too!
Hi, thanks for sharing. I already heard about Glitch but I've never given it a try, that seem's powerful! I will give it a try very soon.
Great to hear! Let us know if you have any questions!
Kinda hard to take this seriously when it was written by someone who works at glitch
It's under the Glitch org so I hope it's clear it's written by Glitch staff promoting Glitch. I did use Glitch before I worked here and loved it, which is why I applied.
