Glitch

In plain words

Glitch is a web-based platform for building and hosting applications collaboratively. It enables developers to create, remix, and deploy apps directly in the browser without local setup, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced programmers. The platform emphasizes community collaboration, allowing users to view and modify each other's code in real time. Glitch is designed for rapid prototyping, learning, and building full-featured web applications with integrated hosting included.
