Glitch wants apps like this to succeed, so will work with him to make sure everything stays running. And Glitch apps are just totally standard Node apps, so worst case he can run it anywhere else. Anything can happen, and there are no guarantees, but I wouldn’t worry about the choice of platforms as a risk.

I suppose. I'm just a bit cynical because Glitch is full of these "apps" that feel like a train wreck waiting to happen. jajoosam has a number of services on your platform now, and it's hard to tell if it'll get any updates or support 6-9 months down the line.
Sure, but that’s true of apps on any platform. May be worth a try to state the same concerns about iOS or Android apps and see what the CEOs in charge of those platforms say, then make the call on which you trust.
How about ditching the cynicism and instead praising such a neat service and the enterprising 14 year old who was able to build and rollout a plausible service?
