The Remix Project is Joining Shopify — Shopify is known as a Ruby shop but also does a lot of front-end work, including building the React-powered Hydrogen framework. They saw Remix’s full-stack approach (which isn’t exclusively for Node, but is currently most commonly used with it) as a good way forward and have brought the team and technology in-house.

Glitch is an online JavaScript app development and hosting platform that emerged from the remnants of Fog Creek Software (of FogBugz and Stack Overflow fame). I’ve been keeping an eye on it since it came out in 2018. Unlike most platforms, Glitch has a light-hearted, whimsical approach where users are encouraged to play, ‘remix’ other people’s apps, and generally focus on smaller (often communual) apps. It was acquired by Fastly earlier this year. I’ve been playing a little more with it recently and while it’s not the best known or most production focused platform, if you want to build small experiments, teach other people to code, or even just throw up a quick Eleventy-built static site or blog, it’s fantastic and worth checking out. You even get some persistent storage and can use SQLite behind your apps which is a neat touch. (Replit is another player in this space that I’m also keen on. It’s a bit more serious but also offers extra features, scale, and official support for other languages.) |
