1/ One year recap of my experience with @Replit
This is not about #TfT, but for developers in general.
My 1-year renewal for Replit is coming up and I decided to take a few minutes to reflect.

2/ About a year ago I migrated from @glitch after a number of outages. I really like @glitch, but for a number of reasons have decided to stick with @Replit for another year.
Let me highlight what I like.
3/ The service is very stable. I have not experienced one outage.
The service performs very well for the price paid.
Nothing much else to say about this, it just seems to work.
4/ The editor is based on same technology used by VS Code. So if I am working on my desktop or wanting to edit code on the web, the experience has many similarities.
It includes an integrated terminal, access to npm & other tools all in the browser.
5/ Support for 50 languages, from Javascript, node, Python to Rust.
I love spinning up a quick project for testing from Github or from one of their templates.
6/ Price: it is currently 50 USD a year for the hacker plan. Not sure if this is a seasonal discount???
They also have a free tier which is very usable, especially for hobbyist projects.
Also supports multiuser editing, community based projects and templated projects.
7/ Good support and a good team
I have always got a good and helpful response for support tickets.
I like the people they hire. A friend recently started with them and it tells me good things about their hiring.
Also lots of ways to engage with community (discord, forums)
8/ So if your looking for a good development/hosting service, replit is a very good value for your money and a good experience.
give them a try:
