Announcing: Replit 100 Days of Code – learn how to code from absolute scratch. All you need is a browser and 15 minutes a day: replit.com/learn/100-days…

@LessonHacker

Replit's @LessonHacker, one of the most engaging and entertaining teachers I've ever had the pleasure to work with, built this content from scratch. I've truly never seen a better intro-to-programming tutorial.

We've built David right into your IDE so you can watch as you code!

The lessons are fully interactive and project-based. Every day you get an app that you can share with your friends. And, of course, Replit is a community, so you'll be able to interact with others learning with you.

Announcing: History++ a better way of doing version control.

blog.replit.com/history2-relea…

While git was a huge boon for collaboration, it left much desired. It burdens the programmer to remember to commit, commits are typically large changes that don't capture the entire evolution of the program, and it remains inaccessible to many coders with a high barrier to entry.

I've been using History++ for over a month and it has changed my coding experience. Especially when I am prototyping, I no longer fret the changes I make, and I don't have to constantly question myself whether I should "commit."

In 2018 we announced Multiplayer Mode. Since then, Replit became the world's leading collaborative editor.

Today, we're announcing AI Mode, which infuses state-of-the-art intelligence into nearly all IDE features, the next major evolution for Replit: blog.replit.com/ai

Also announcing GhostWriter -- AI Mode's flagship feature -- an AI-powered pair programmer

GhostWriter is faster, more powerful, and more accessible than any other comparable offering. The best thing about it? It makes writing coding on mobile fun -- swipe right to accept!

Here are what GhostWriter alpha users are saying:

- "The first thing me and all my friends noticed was how much faster it is than GitHub Copilot. It is at least 2x maybe 3x. It makes a big difference."

- "It makes web dev so much easier. I'm only writing 50% of the code."

Heroku is deprecating its free offering. We're seeing many users move to Replit, which is fantastic!

But seeing some say that Replit is "not designed" for hosting -- untrue. Here are all the ways we are already a major provider and are actively improving our offering:

First of all, I totally understand Heroku's decision. Especially given crypto mining, providing free compute on the internet has become really difficult.

At Replit, despite being a small team, we have become experts in this domain as it is core to our business.

Today we host 1M *concurrent* user containers and serve 10b+/mo dynamic content from apps deployed on Replit. With 15m+ users, we are one of the largest compute providers in the world.

We earned this privilege by constantly defending against bad actors:

To build the next big search engine simply focus on people.

It’s why people add “reddit” to their queries and prefer to search social — we want to see results from humans, not soulless SEO farms.

The first phase of the web was all about crowdsourcing. Everyone made websites, blogs, and comments. The second was about the friend — your social graph determined how you get information. The third phase we are in is about the creator.

So instead of reading reviews and ratings, people will prefer to see a TikTok creator in a super entertaining short clip reviewing restaurants in a much more intimate way.

I lost lots of sleep over the past year agonizing over student & teacher emails saying their admins blocked Replit.

It’s crucial for the future of our nation that kids have access to powerful tools to learn & build 🇺🇸

Tomorrow we’re announcing a fix for this. Once and for all!

Before I share the news let's answer this question that keeps coming up: "Why would anyone block Replit? What makes it special -- after all, it's just an 'IDE?'"

Replit gives you a full computer in the cloud, instantly, from any device, anywhere in the world. On top of that: tools to make and run practically anything.

This is never been done before at scale.

This kind of power was exclusive to pros, and is now in the hands of millions.
