my official list of post-glitch.com hosting options

we are less than a week away from fastly shutting down glitch.com. while i haven't worked there in 10 months, i'm still as much a glitch power user as i've been since i helped launch it in 2017, so i have been doing a lot of work behind the scenes, and with some of you live, to find new homes for my most precious projects.

weekly retro: one of those winding road kinda weeks

it's a new week, although the "holiday weekend" still if you're in the states. during my workaholic corporate era, these holidays were more like a working vacation where i still logged on to get stuff done, but didn't have to talk to or answer to anyone (ie. no zoom calls). well, here i am technically working by writing this and planning to do candle work after. it's a good thing i only left corporate, not therapy as well.
