Codepen is a bit different, personal I use Codepen mainly for just front end examples (CSS/JS user interactions). Glitch is full-stack so it's ideal for things like building your own API or entire web app. The Glitch container is Linux so you can run a lot of stuff on it (as long as it doesn't require sudo permissions or such). And there is a command line interface/terminal. A good example is tokimeki-unfollow.glitch.me/ which is has a DB for storage, Twitter API integration/login + a front end.

Thank you for that. Maybe at some point I'll make video tutorial on its utility.
