that url 404s as well, i believe this is to do with cross origin security stuff based on what i am seeing in freecodecamp’s console… i initially tried pasting in a glitch url which also did not work

[edit] this is my first lesson attempt, i know my solution is correct there is some basic issue with my ‘public’ url

4

Wait, looking at your repository it seems you set this up with Glitch?

You can get a “live app” link from your glitch page and submit that url.

i wanted to use glitch but i could find no way to get freecodecamp to understand my url. here is my glitch page https://quiver-smiling-clove.glitch.me

also i am just finding a whole other thread of nearly everyone having the same issue so at least i am not alone ha Problem with taking Glitch url and using it as a solution for question

6

okay that’s hella confusing it wants the ‘live app’ BASE url whereas i was trying to submit the url to the actual FILE… omfg hahahaha so irritated with being lost for an hour but also appreciative of your help thank you

yes i didn’t want to have to export to Github each time. Also why I am dissing Glitch why is there no vim mode lol… okay thanks sir again you are a hero

8

Glad I could help! :slight_smile:

also i realize i can ALSO use codesandbox.io by going to glitch, exporting to github… then going over to codesandbox.io and IMPORTING that same project… which is awesome since that has vim mode and no hard-to-unearth hidden share button which is nice i assume glitch is a crush of freecodecamp but it’s nice to know other things work https://bv8es.sse.codesandbox.io/
