Summary

At Daily, developers can use Glitch to create projects from scratch or "remix" others for inspiration, with a focus on simplicity and ease of use. Glitch provides a friendly community-oriented developer tool that allows users to create projects backed by real servers, making it easy to get started and scale their project. To begin, users simply need to add their API key to the `.env` file in Glitch editor, which includes public API endpoints that return data via the Daily API. The server code uses express and axios to handle incoming requests and make requests to external APIs. Users can create reusable endpoints using an `apiHelper` function, and verify their server's functionality by making a sample request to the Daily API. With this functional server, developers can add more endpoints as needed and consider becoming a Glitch member for added benefits.
