Freecodecamp: [beta] Replace GoMix with Glitch

Created on 20 Mar 2017  路  9Comments  路  Source: freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp

Recently, GoMix was renamed to Glitch. The "old" URLs are not working anymore, and this breaks some challenges, like this one. We should change all the appearances of "Gomix" to "Glitch" and fix all the broken links. It looks like in most cases the users are redirected to the right URL (glitch.com), but not always (e.g. the first link in the NPM introduction).


You can find more information about this name change in this article.

I'm aware of #13095 but I think this is a different problem.

Awesome - thanks for fixing this @ZZhaoTireless.

I've talked with Glitch's CEO and he seems confident this is their final name change.

@dhcodes I would like to take this. Could I know if the beta version has been put in staging branch, or it is in another branch or repo?

Beta is on staging. Rebase with the latest updates and you should be good to go

@dhcodes Thanks!

Just an additional note, the tests should be updated too, since they expect to retrieve data from gomix.com (the error in the screenshot is generated when a glitch.com link is submitted through the input field in NPM challenges)

@Atomk Will update the tests after fixing. Thanks.

Hi, I updated all "GoMix" to "Glitch" and pulled request.

I was looking to try beta, but it is not working as this has not updated yet. When is it expected to be updated to the website?

@breakpoint25 we're actively working on some major fixes. We'll push them as frequently as we can. I think currently most of the challenges should work fine right now - only certain sections are non-functional.
