Glitch, formerly Fog Creek, posts company news and product updates about its browser-based app building and hosting platform.
HN links it for Glitch's announcements, such as the Fog Creek rename, and for its tools for runnable, remixable projects. Commenters give no verdict on the posts.
The internet tends to lock things in. There were many languages dominant in history at some point or another, english will be the final one. There were many scripting languages, javascript will be the final one. Many networking protocols, TCP/IP the final one. Same for git. I think the only thing that might displace git is some environment for new programmers with its own version control system like glitch[1].

"Why did we change the name (again)? Well, we heard from some members of our community that the old name evokes a hurtful slur in some Russian communities, and given our deep commitment to building an inclusive service, that didn’t sit right with us, even though people understand we didn’t mean to be hurtful."
We'll be bringing back some of the archives on our blog at https://medium.com/glitch, we just took a bunch of stuff offline during our renaming from Fog Creek to Glitch. Let us know if there's anything specific you're looking for and we'll try to get it back online sooner. Sorry for the hassle!
I completely agree. My snarky comment was in reference to GitHub's marketing emphasis a few years ago on "social coding".

I think you could achieve the "runnable blog post" component via a site like Glitch.

Not sure if it is possible to hook it up to a CI or Git hook.
