As I am downloading all my old #Glitch projects (RIP, fair prince), I want to shout out DownThemAll: https://www.downthemall.org/

This extension (and its website) have remained essentially unchanged but maintained since I first used it going on twenty years ago, and is very good at its singular job: downloading a bunch of things without having to click a bunch of things.

I clicked several individual buttons before remembering this humble extension, pulled it up, typed "Download" into the filter box to find all the Download buttons, and hit Download. All my projects were tossed into a queue and courteously downloaded without any fuss, and a nice progress monitor when it was done.

Thanks, Nils Maier, for your steady and consistent hand keeping this extension running. I didn't find any Mastodon presence, so I also tossed him a long-overdue donation with a nice note instead, in the spirit of @GeePawHill's exhortations to let someone know when you appreciate the things they do.

Thanks for the memories, and all the apps!

Next to it is the following text: Au revoir, Glitch! If you haven’t heard by now, on July 8th we ended project hosting. That sounds like goodbye, but it’s not exactly. You can login to download your projects or set a redirect until December 31, 2025 and those redirects will be supported until the end of 2026. After that, we’re not sure what’s next but thank you so much for joining us when you did. Glitch wouldn’t be the same without your fun, thoughtful, strange, helpful, beautiful, weird projects. Until we meet again!

I'm looking at https://val.town as a potential replacement for Glitch. Not for hosting my own work, no, much like with social media, I'm done having to move and start over every few years.

I'm mostly looking for a good tool for teaching others, and this might be a good replacement for that.

Either way, I do appreciate the honesty here.

"Like Glitch, we've raised money from venture capital and it is currently what pays our paychecks and server bills. If it runs out and we haven't become profitable or found an acquirer, that'll be curtains."

I am glad I never used nor recommended glitch dot com as it is now shutting down. It sure felt like a great project, but I am sick of the dependencies we feed when using those kinds of startup’s tools. Make your own tools or use free [software] ones.
If you are interested in an alternative to glitch, check out https://gitlab.com/raphaelbastide/stolon, it is community made, self-hostable and flat file.
