thank you for all of the fun memories

Well, Glitch.com announced a couple weeks ago that they were going to phase out free web hosting for public projects.
This was kind of a big deal for me because my first website that I created (with tons of help from Stack Overflow) was hosted over there.
I spent a ton of time in the web Glitch IDE wondering how divs work and stuff. Ton of memories.
I think that it's good that they retire web hosting, since it's real easy to create an account, and serve misleading stuff to the public. Last I checked, there wasn't any sort of process to check if the code you wanted to publish was malicious or not. You simply just wrote your code, and published it.
Not to mention, each project you'd make would be contained in what seemed like a Docker container. Glitch gave you access to a shell to do all of the Linux stuff that you wanted. I vividly remember cloning dylanaraps/neofetch, compiling it and running it to see that they were running top of the line AMD hardware.
I really wonder what they're gonna do next with all of that vacant hardware.
