Yes! It's exactly what it says it's not, an Incredible Journey post, from Anil, who is a laser-sharp writer.

I kept reading because I assumed they were going to - idk open source it or allow you to host Glitch apps elsewhere - but nope, it's just a straight shutdown announcement. What have I got wrong?

I'd assume there is some obfuscation required by owners or whatever pending a change of ownership, something like that?

Anyhow, RIP, if the internet has taught me anything it's that we can't have nice things for more than about 10 years.
