Glitch API pages will run cross-platform.

I just made an interesting discovery.  My favorite web browser is SeaMonkey, but a lot of web coders don't know what to do with that User Agent.  I was having problems because one of the 'helper' web sites that uses the Glitch API (http://resources.grelca.com) kept crashing when I was using it to navigate to Routes and Resources.  It was just plain crashing SeaMonkey, which almost never happens, and thus closing out my whole Glitch gaming session.

I just discovered that if I have Glitch running in SeaMonkey, I can load the Helper Site using Google's Chrome Browser (or probably any other.)  When I click on a 'Teleport to Home Street' button on one of those pages, it redirects my running Glitch session, in a different browser (SeaMonkey) to the street.

I haven't experimented further with cross-machine usage, but this could mean that we could navigate 'helper' websites using a tablet and have it 'steer' Glitch running on our main computers to go to Streets, etc.  I will have to try that soon.

  • exactly, you can use two monitors with two browsers, a tablet, two computers... you will need to sign in in glitch.com on each computer before using the external App, then the "teleport" / "visit" button will work.
